Aylam Orian is a multinational actor known for We Were the Lucky Ones (2024), Stargate Origins (2018) (series regular), The Informer (2019), Code Black (2015) and NCIS: Los Angeles (2009).
Born in the US to a family of German, Polish, Russian, Romanian and Israeli descent, Aylam (pronounced Aey-lahm) was an artistic kid who excelled in drawing, photography and playing the guitar. While working at the local Cinematheque as a young adult, he got introduced to the art of cinema and enrolled in Film School. A short film he made, A Nightmare on Bialik Street (1994) (a witty homage to the famous Russian film Battleship Potemkin (1925)), won several prizes and was later shown at the Cannes Film Festival. While acting in his own films for the lack of money to hire professional actors, he caught the acting bug, and after appearing in a few TV commercials he returned to the US to study acting at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, and The Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York.
While a student at the Strasberg Institute, Aylam was hired by Anna Strasberg to organize and preserve Lee Strasberg's extensive collections of materials on acting - a position he held for the next 9 years, before starting to teach there. As an actor, he made his US TV debut in the A&E mini-series Between the Lines (2004) hosted by Robert Downey Jr., where he joined the ranks of Hillary Clinton, John Goodman and Priscilla Presley in reading unknown letters written by famous people - his was no other than a love letter written by a young Adolf Hitler. Soon after, he followed up with roles on America's Most Wanted: America Fights Back (1988), 30 Rock (2006), the independent films Joy Incorporated (2012) and The Cold Winter (2016), and the off-off-Broadway productions of The Duchess of Malfi, Uncle Vanya, Yom Kippur and his own movement-theatre show/film Beautiful World... (2006). After 13 years in New York it was time to move to Los Angeles, where guest appearances in Code Black (2015), NCIS: Los Angeles (2009), Shooter (2016), The Guest Book (2017), AJ and the Queen (2020), and Ford v Ferrari (2019), led to his series regular role of Nazi villain Wilhelm Brücke in the latest installment of the "Stargate" franchise: Stargate Origins (2018) / Stargate Origins (2018), and the prominent role of Hermann Van Pels in the US premiere of the play "Anne", a retelling of the Anne Frank story.
Thanks to his multiple nationalities and languages (he speaks 5!), Aylam next branched out to the international arena with roles in The Informer (2019) and We Were the Lucky Ones (2024), in addition to establishing himself as a sought-after ADR/looping artist in Los Angeles and New York.
