IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Praq Rado was born and raised in Albania. Rado has just completed filming Dreaming American based on his life in NYC. He plays the leading role in the film directed by an Emmy Award winner Lee Percy, Executive Producer Oscar Nominated Barbet Schroeder and co-starring an Emmy Nominated Giancarlo Esposito.

Growing up in the world's most isolated society he was told he would never be anything more than a farmer. His family was ostracized because they stood against the totalitarian regime. But by the mid 1990's the communist government collapsed and with his parents blessing Praq came to the United States.

Survival was the first order of business in his new country so he registered for night classes and studied after work to learn the language. In one year he earned his GED, while working full-time, to send his earnings home to his family in Albania.

While he was studying at a college in Westchester he discovered his love of the theater and launched his professional career with the leading role in Village of Paradise Growth, a production overseen by Michel Gondry.
