Taleb Adlah

Tal Adla was born Taleb Adlah to Mouhammad Adla, a construction foreman, and Selma Adla, a housewife, on March 23, 1978, in Tripoli, Lebanon. His family moved to New York when he was two years old and eventually settled in Port Jefferson, Long Island, NY. After he graduated high school he attended Suffolk College, where he first set foot on stage. He took Acting 101 just to fulfill an elective credit. A short while into the class his teacher took him aside and told him that he should try out for plays. Tal was hesitant because it would take a lot of time and he would not be able to help out with the family business. He auditioned just to see what would happen--and he got the part. He worked his schedule where he would be able to do both. From then on he secured parts in "Hamlet", "Orphans", "Lost in Yonkers" and many more. He got the role of Marco in "A View From the Bridge", which got him nominated for the Irene Ryan Competitions.
