Actor & Filmmaker
Es Um






Born in Seoul, South Korea, Es (Eh-zz) is a stage and film actor, writer and director fluent in English and Korean. Es moved to the U.S with their family at eight years old. Growing up fluently bilingual, Es always enjoyed knowing all the hottest family gossip whether in Korean or English!
Es graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where they trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre in method acting and Film Institute and Stonestreet Studios.
Since graduating, Es has signed with CPM Talent Management and Swain-Thomas Agency and has been working on building their acting career, working on films, commercials and plays. Most recently/notably they appeared in NBC's Law & Order and commercials for IT Cosmetics and GEICO.
Es's film Blue Hour, which they wrote and directed, is an Official Selection of the Canadian Screen Award qualifying New York Shorts International Film Festival.
In Es's free time you can probably find them napping with their cat, Olive, or making their miso cream pasta recipe.
