#232: Isha Blaaker - I Try To Feel

Isha Blaaker is an actor and model and has just made his big
screen debut opposite Aunjanue Ellis, Niecy Nash, Jon
Bernthal, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Finn Wittrock, and more in
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay’s highly anticipated film
feature “Origin” (Neon), based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Isabel Wilkerson’s 2020 bestselling book “Caste: The Origins of
Our Discontents.” 


On the television front, Isha most recently starred in debut
roles for season two of “Run The World” on STARZ and opposite
Colman Dolmingo in the eighth and final season of AMC’s “Fear The
Walking Dead.”  Isha is also well-known for his role in
the 12th film in Tyler Perry’s iconic Madea franchise, “A Madea
Homecoming.” Before Isha landed his breakout role in a feature
Netflix film, he honed his craft with a handful of recurring
appearances in television, appearing on the Emmy-nominated HBO
Max series, “The Flight Attendant,” opposite Kaley Cuoco, as well
as Violet Hour Media’s horror-thriller series, “Red Riding
Hoods,” and a SBS6 action series, “DNA” in the Netherlands.


It wasn’t long after he obtained his master’s degree that he was
scouted by an American modelling agency to come work in New York
City, and throughout the past few years Isha has starred in
major international luxury brand campaigns for the likes of Hugo
Boss, L’Oreal, Ralph Lauren, and an Estée Lauder commercial
opposite Ana de Armas, to name just a few. As his name
continued to become more well-known in fashion, Isha developed a
love for acting and began taking classes and studying the craft
professionally for four years prior to booking back-to-back roles
in TV and film. He now credits acting as his true passion
and a daily commitment next to modelling.
