What’s Up?!
Originally from a small town in South Carolina, Hassiem Muhammad has been telling stories for as long as he can remember. He attributes his start as actor to all of those hot summer days playing pretend with his six sisters (yes-six). Seeking to develop his craft, he attended the prestigious South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, and would eventually graduate in 2018 from the esteemed University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA)-which he attended on a full merit scholarship.
Upon graduating, he moved straight to New York City to begin his career, and a six month Fellowship at Lincoln Center. Since moving to the big apple, he has had the opportunity to work on some amazing projects, ranging from regional theater, Off Broadway workshops, indie films, and network television. Hassiem is a member of Actor's Equity Association (AEA), the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), and the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD). He is managed by Red Letter Entertainment, and is represented by HCKR Agency (legit) and A3 Artists Agency (commercial).

Web Series
Angels of Uptown, is a web series that Hassiem wrote and produced during the Covid-19 pandemic. This vigilante-style show “explores what happens when an unsuspecting group of millennials, brought together by tragedy, decide to take protecting and serving their community into their own hands.” Not only did Hassiem accomplish writing a 5 episode arc, but he held online workshops of the script, secured funding, and shot the entire thing! For the fist time, Hassiem wore the hats of co-producer, co-director and lead actor for a project. The project is now available to watch at the YouTube link below!
