A New Jersey–based actor and filmmaker chasing honest work — from the stage to independent film. Incoming BFA candidate at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers.
Bio
Keefer Kohli is an Edison, New Jersey–based actor and filmmaker whose work moves between the stage and the screen—from classic American theater with the J.P. Stevens Theater Company to self-directed short films and professional film productions, including work with Paramount Pictures.
He gravitates toward characters carrying quiet weight: the overlooked, the observers, the ones who feel more than they say. As a filmmaker, he also writes, directs, and edits his own work, giving him an instinct for storytelling from both sides of the camera and a deeper understanding of every frame.

Kaufman & Hart's Pulitzer-winning comedy. Ed is the good-natured xylophone-playing husband to Essie — a dreamer content to print slogans in the basement while the Sycamore household hums along in beautiful, unbothered chaos.

Statement
I'm drawn to psychologically complex, morally ambiguous characters—the ones who blur the line between hero and villain. I believe the most compelling performances come from people who can't be easily understood, only experienced.
