About
Starting an acting career is never easy. Hollywood is full of stories about dreams made real, but so many of these stories begin with a lucky break, a chance discovery on a small stage, or a helpful mentor with a hand outstretched. When all someone has is a distant dream, it’s hard to even begin the story. From where Erica Papasergi began, many would’ve called an LA acting career impossible, but there’s power in hard work, and where there is passion and talent, there’s a path to Hollywood.
For Erica, the story began on a small island in Italy. There, as a 4-year-old kid, Erica already had her passion. It took the energy and hope of a child to begin. She started with dancing and acting in local theater, chasing her dream at an age when most haven’t even begun to think of their futures. Starting from nothing, Erica began saving wages from her job at the age of 15. She saved throughout high school, her eyes on an eventual move to LA and a start in Hollywood. After she graduated, she broke into the Italian acting scene, working as an actress and an acting coach.
When she finally arrived in LA in 2019, she enrolled in an acting conservatory, only for the coronavirus pandemic to strike. That, along with visa troubles, added a new element of struggle to Erica’s story. Even as situations continue to threaten to push her out of LA, however, Erica’s career has begun. She’s graduated from the conservatory and acted in multiple different projects, with more work on the horizon.
