Ari Stidham got his start at the early age of 3 in his parent’s living room when he and his brother would act out their favorite TV shows.  Then at the age of 7, Ari stepped on to the stage for the first time in the famous musical Annie.  You are thinking, there was never a boy in Annie and you are correct, Ari played Sandy…the dog.  Playing a dog is all it took for him to really get the professional acting bug.

Ari continued to perform on the stage in numerous plays and musicals that include a list from Hamlet to Into the Woods.  Ari furthered his study of acting and singing by attending an acting/musical theatre boot camp for youth at the renowned Actors Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco and is currently an active member of the improv company Comedy Sportz.
 
In his spare time, Ari enjoys singing, playing the guitar and writing his own music.  He also plays the ukulele, piano, and kazoo.  Ari holds a second degree Black Belt in Karate.
 
Ari continues to reside with his parents in Westlake Village, CA
