Actress Sheetal Sheth launched her career in the arts on a well-rounded and prestigious note; a dancer and athlete from early childhood, she enrolled in NYU's acclaimed Tisch School for the Arts (as a drama major) after high school, then played an integral role in a series of New York-based urban workshops designed to bring theater and the arts per se to the metropolitan community as a whole, including grassroots activities at the Lincoln Center Theater and the Public Theater. Sheth formally debuted on-screen with the feature ABCD (directed by one of her NYU classmates) as a bed-hopping young woman sharply torn between two very different young men: a Caucasian man and her Indian best friend from childhood. Sheth followed this up with pivotal roles in such productions as the 2001 American Chai (a #92;seriocomedy that explored some of the same themes as ABCD), the 2005 Albert Brooks road #92;comedy Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (as Brooks' everpresent translator/interpreter), and the 2007 South African #92;period drama The World Unseen (as the proprietor of an anti-apartheid café who finds herself drawn into a passionate lesbian relationship with another young woman). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
