We are currently in the process of updating the many achievements of our alumni. Please forgive this delay. We want to be fully up to date, as we are deeply proud of the remarkable successes our students have achieved, successes that continue to grow faster than we can keep up with. And we love them all.
Alumni, please do not slow down. Keep going. The world is your oyster. Persistence pays off.
James Price and The Acting Studio New York staff have trained many actors through our acting program who have gone on to build impressive professional careers in film, theatre, and television. Our alumni have received prestigious awards for acting, directing, and producing.
Many of our graduates continue to return to the studio to perform with our Chelsea Repertory Company alongside current students, while simultaneously flourishing in the industry at large. The individuals listed below represent only a small sampling of alumni from our acting program.
