Actor based in New York

Kleo Kushova

All About Kleo!

Hello! I’m Kleo Kushova, an Albanian-born American actor based in New York City.

Here are some quick facts about me:

  • I am a recent graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University, where I earned my degree in Acting and Directing. There, I deepened my passion for performing and honed my skills both on-stage and on camera.
  • I have had the privilege of working on everything from contemporary theater and new works for emerging artists, to taking on the classics using my training at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
  • My love for acting really stems from growing up in a household that mixed old-fashioned Albanian dramas with traditional American sitcoms. This exposure quickly helped me become bi-lingual.
  • I began taking Ballroom and Latin dance classes as early as the 5th grade, the same time I started acting in school productions. These passions stayed with me in high school, through college, and have now led me to where I am today.
  • With my acting, I hope to show the intricacies of the strengths and the flaws that make us who we are by portraying relatable characters that can make you laugh and/or cry.
  • In my free time, I love to relax by cooking and baking, playing ping pong, and catching up on my favorite tv shows and movies. I am also an avid board gamer, and love to explore new restaurants.
