As an actor, Feraz has appeared on national television on 2 Broke Girls, Hollywood Darlings, Comics Unleashed, The Doctors, and Hulu's Coming to the Stage, and the feature film "Hollywood Dirt." Feraz also directed his first short film "Curious Georgina," which he starred in along with Helen Hong and Bobby Lee. The film screened at Just For Laughs in Montreal, and got picked up by Kevin Hart's LOL Network.
