Hey there, I’m Valerian Matt Mozay. I’m an actor working and living in New York City.

I’m 22 years old and currently in my senior year at Brooklyn college, studying BFA in Acting. I was born in the country of Georgia and I was raised in Brooklyn NY. Throughout my journey I discovered what it means to be part of two very different cultures and what it’s like to understand both cultural points of view. I love how actors and playwrights tell their stories, stories they need to tell to bring awareness to certain topics and issues in todays society.

Theater really is a vital key in our societies because it teaches the audience what it’s like to be a human. Everybody has a story and sometimes we don’t understand these stories because we’ve never been on their journey and that’s why theater/Film/Television is important because it gives us a chance to go on this journey and to understand these people, understand their stories from their perspective. I love being in this community because nobody makes judgements based on who you are and where you come from. Everybody always looks at what’s inside of you. Being part of the Ensemble that supports you throughout your journey is vital to your growth because you have to be among people who trust you to be vulnerable and to take risks. I have that at Brooklyn College; people support me and push me to do better and that’s exactly what helps me grow as an actor and as a human being.
