Tich Saund
- Actor
Tich Saund was born in East London, 1967. Both parents were highly
academic, his father a professional electrical mechanical engineer and
mother fluent in 5 languages (spoken and written). The youngest and
once the smallest of seven children (hence the nickname "Tich") grew up
within the tough streets of East London UK. At the age of ten came the
unexpected death of his elder brother who unfortunately didn't pull
through an operation on his heart. His brother was 21 and had only just
graduated as a silversmith apprentice to Queen Elizabeth's personal
jeweler Stuart Devlin. His family was devastated and subsequently
shortly after left London and moved to Old Harlow in Essex. A new start
and a new school gave Tich the grounding and freedom to flex his
artistic and social integrity. During school he excelled in the arts
and particularly loved drama, but never thought a career within the
Media or the Arts could be possible and so worked with his father in
property construction & development and a varied career within design
engineering. It wasn't until the age of 25 while at a friend's wedding,
Tich got noticed by an up and coming film director and was asked to
audition for the part of Harry in a short 35mm film called "Tooting
Lions" (1993), a modern day Bollywood/London gangster flick. It was
then that Tich caught the bug and began a short career as an actor and
thus appeared in the British ethnic flick "Brothers in Trouble" (1995)
where he starred alongside Indian actor Om Puri. A media/journalism
path then followed and subsequently was accepted into the Bournemouth &
Poole College of Art & Design where he studied Audio Visual Design,
Journalism & film production. Although Tich is currently a highly
respected and established design & fabrication engineer, he does
continue to write.
Tich has one son born November 2002 but is now divorced. He also takes great interest in the British youth community and tries to promote the Arts in whichever way he can.
