We had the good fortune of connecting with Kapeesh Mourya Mourya and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi KAPEESH MOURYA, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
Discipline was the most important thing for me. Just basic habits like waking up early, going to the gym eating well, staying in touch with the craft, auditioning regularly. these habits just keep me prepared for all the things that are coming my way.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am an actor or as I like to put it a stunt actor an action star. Since the very first moment I had the sense that acting is something I want to do. I always saw my self as an action hero on screen for which I later trained in gymnactics, martial arts,boxing, stage combat, I just wanted to have the skill set ready for when my time comes. I believe I still have a long way to go. The journey so far has not been a path way decorated with flower petals but one that was filled with thorns and failure that taught me lot. The biggest one was staying away from my family ,leaving my country. Any time I felt exhausted or I cant go anymore I reminded my self of that this isn’t just my dream but also my parents and I cannot stop. I want the world to know that no dream is small it doesn’t matter where you come from if you can dream about it you can attain it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’d definitely take my friend go karting. Then I’ll show them around the hollywood hills. The Griffith observatory. Then take them to vegas,sky diving, definitely the sphere. And then a road trip along the west coast.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
For me SFI a stage combat group which I’m a part of has helped me mold myself into the actor that I am today. My family has been the biggest support. No matter where I stand in my life. They always motivate me to keep going forward and reaching for the stars. And last but not the least one of my teaches Mr. Orion Barnes. Who has been a great mentor for me in every part of my journey as an actor.
