Sunkrish began acting as a child in community productions in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. While studying at the Bellarmine College Preparatory High School, he helped found A'shore Productions, an Indian-American theater company - the first of its kind on the West coast. After graduation, he began studying theater at UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television, where he was trained as an actor under Mel Shapiro's program and received instruction from the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Annette Bening. Bala recently received his bachelor's degree in theatre from UCLA in June 2006, at the end of his four years.
