Solomon Shiv was raised in the rural farmland of the Northern California Wine Country. A haven for the rugged as much as the sophisticated- it accounts for his guise as a Powerful, Brooding, Instinctive yet Elegant Actor. After performing in all kinds of theatre throughout the bay area, he sojourned East to the great city of Nieuw Yorke which he would call home north of the next 10 years. It was during this burgeoning creative storm that a body of work emerged, revealing a knack for playing covetous characters, men who want what does not belong to them, {i.e. abductors, rescuers, seducers and killers}. The scope of this rewarding and award-winning journey thus far has spanned conservatories, fronting bands, regional theatre, TV, HBO, Films, and helping to found 'The Orphans', a Theatre Company near and dear to his heart. He now lives in Los Angeles, a seasoned professional of the stage and screen.
