About Lara:

Lara Wolf is a multilingual actress with an international edge: she was born in Tehran, raised in Zurich, and now lives as a naturalized New Yorker in Brooklyn. She studied Psychology at the Univerisity of Zurich, and simultaneously worked as a television host and fitness model for StarTV, before she relocated to the United States to train at the Lee Strasburg Theatre and Film Institute.

She has also played a variety of characters, such as a detective (Bluebloods, Blindspot), as a mistress (You are Wanted, Amazon), and as Princess Nora in Quantico, where she guest-starred alongside Priyanka Chopra. Furthermore, Lara starred as the lead in the filmRoxana (by Elahe Massoumi) portraying an Iranian journalist, a Bahaii wife (Family Of Too Many), and the right-hand assistant of a mobster played by Gerard Depardieu (BigHouse). She was part of the reading of Marylin Felt’s Asher’s Command (directed by Navid Negahban, and performed at the Other Israel Film Festival), where she played Lila, the wife of an Israeli commander. She is also a founding member of the Primitive Grace Theatre Company in NYC where she’s collaborated as a writer and actress with her mentors Paul Calderon and David Zayas (Hollywood Entrée). In the film The Performance,directed by Shira Piven, she acted opposite Jeremy Piven and Robert Carlyle and sang live! Recently, she starred in a leading role opposite Golshifteh Farahani in the film Reading Lolita in Tehran, directed by one of Israel’s most notable filmmakers: Eran Riklis. Now, you can see her as ‘Queen Berenice’ in the highly anticipated Peacock series Those About To Die opposite Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Lara grew up playing tennis, and now enjoys playing in her free time to stay active – and when she’s not on the court, you can probably find her on a reformer in a Pilates studio! She is passionate about overall wellness, both mental and physical, and strives in her day-to-day life to support others in their pursuit of finding it.
