Dalip Sondhi

Of Indian origin, Dalip grew up in London where he began his working life as a UK Metropolitan Police Officer spending time with the Crime Squad during the turbulent 1980s. Leaving the police to train as an actor and director, he has a Masters in Performance Studies from London's Central School of Speech and Drama, a Post Graduate in Theatre Education from the University of London, and a BA (Hons) Acting from Middlesex University and Montclair State College (New York).
During the early 1990s Dalip toured extensively with Caught in the Act and Soapbox Theatre companies in the UK, as well as performing at the Edinburgh Fringe. In 1994 he began directing and training actors, theatre makers and educators. Over the past 20 years Dalip has held senior positions and led staff teams at the UK's Hertfordshire University, Rose Bruford College and Australia's Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.
He completed his career as an Associate Professor in 2013 to entirely focus and return to his work as an actor (please see recent TV/Film credits).
