Tigran Tovmasian is a Sydney-based actor, filmmaker, and acting instructor of Armenian descent. Before turning to performance in his early teens, he enjoyed a successful career as a competitive martial artist, earning an international gold medal and four national medals in Judo.
He studied the Meisner Technique at The Actors Pulse in Sydney before traveling to the United States, where he trained under and was mentored by established industry figures such as Debby Ryan, Paris Berelc, Hayden Byerly, and Josie Totah. His work there drew interest from several agencies offering representation.
Upon returning to Australia, Tovmasian continued performing on both stage and screen, including a role in the television mini-series Greystanes. His growing passion for storytelling soon led him toward filmmaking.
He made his directorial debut with the short film The Circus Lion, in which he also appears, and the project has earned international acclaim and festival recognition, including selection at an Oscar-qualifying festival. He has since directed another short film, Going Dark, further establishing his voice as a filmmaker.
Tovmasian also serves as an acting tutor at The Actors Pulse, teaching and continuing his own performance studies across Australia, the United States, and Europe. His creative work centers on emotionally resonant storytelling and character-driven cinema.
