Erich Fleshman

Illuminate Acting Academy

Actor and Founder

Erich was raised in Northern California and has nearly 30 years of TV and film experience in Thailand and the US. He has worked alongside some of the world’s best actors, both in front of and behind the camera, and had his actor training with Jim Jarrett, the last teaching protégé of legendary acting teacher Sanford Meisner. Erich continues to act but now brings his unique experiences in both the Thai and LA entertainment industries to his acting academy for up-and-coming actors.

Illuminate Acting Academy focuses on the individuality of each actor, using a personalized method mixed with practical training. He believes that every actor should focus on their individuality, as each one of us has a different instrument to offer. Erich’s teaching provides actors with the tools to excel in performances, offering guidance and support every step of the way, whether it be private lessons, on-set work, or group sessions. His goal is to create an artistic family of actors dedicated to improving the craft of acting in Thailand.
