About Liam

Liam Sharpe is an actor and director whose work is shaped by an unlikely throughline: language.

He grew up a monolingual skater kid in California. By 20, he spoke seven languages.

After earning a Master of Science in Germany, he began working in AI and digital media—leading Spanish-language data creation for a Fortune 500 company and launching the German-language spinoff of a major YouTube channel.

That path eventually led him to Mexico City, where he played the villain in The Head of Joaquín Murrieta, Amazon Studios’ first major Latin American Western.

Recently, his work has ranged from voicing international campaigns, training with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and directing a feature film.

These days, he’s often writing in a café somewhere in Mexico City or the Pacific Northwest, filming on the streets of San Francisco, or on stage in London.
