| Biography |
|
Justin Saj displayed an early interest in the
performing arts, casting himself as the announcer at amateur sport events,
acting the comedian at parties, and reading dramatic poetry. At a young
age, he acted in a children’s theater in New York City, appealing to
audiences with his intense blue-eyed gaze and heart-stopping earnestness.
This dramatic flair was not entirely accidental. Justin Saj is a
great-nephew of Joseph Hirniak, a star performer of "Berezil" the
celebrated experimental theater in Kiev, Ukraine during the 1920’s
and 30’s. Justin was born in Manhasset, NY and grew up in Montclair,
NJ. After college and a semester at the American Academy of
Dramatic Arts and at The School of Film and Television, he was
accepted as a scholarship student at the University of Texas’ MFA
Program in Acting. |

A
natural athlete, Justin played tennis on his college team and summers
worked as a tennis instructor. This taught him how to model movements as
well as how to capture the attention of a sometimes reluctant audience.
Drama School training in modern and ballroom dance further honed his body
and gave him a grace of movement, strength and stamina.
Justin Saj has a natural ear for languages and
dialect and has an uncanny ability to create a mood and capture a persona
with his voice alone.
Justin currently resides in Los Angeles.
