The actress Angela Sarafyan became famous after the role of a robot Clementine in the film "Westworld" and participation in popular American TV series.

Childhood and youth

Angela was born in Yerevan, Armenia in June 1983. Her father, Grigor, also was an actor. He was skeptical when his daughter decided to follow in his footsteps. At the same time, the little girl wanted to become a doctor and a truck driver, a teacher, and a saleswoman. In 1987, her parents moved to America. In a new country, Angela attended a ballet school.

The girl was inspired by such films as "The Terminator" and "RoboCop." Angela’s father told her a "terrible secret" that the blood in the films is not real. But, watching the death of the hero played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Angela decided that she wanted to be in that world.

Films

The young actress debuted in the series "Judging Amy." The film, which was released in 2000, tells about the judge for a family court. The heroine Amy Brenneman divorced and brings up the child alone.

Then the actress starred in the crime drama "The Shield" about the policeman, "CSI: NY," the thriller "Trapped" about the former CIA agent (played by Kiefer Sutherland),. The girl also appeared in a video clip of Britney Spears on the song "Stronger."

In the period from 2007 to 2009, Angela starred in several series of "The Mentalist," a series about a psychologist, who helps to solve crimes while simultaneously searching for the murderers of his wife and daughter. In the most popular youth film "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2," she played a vampire, Tia.

In 2005, Sarafyan got the role in her first full-length film - a comedy-drama "Halfway Decent." Two years later Angela in two films - "On the Doll" and "Kabluey."

The first one tells about the consequences of child abuse. There was a lot of profanity, alcohol, and violence. That’s why it was recommended only for adults.

Angela starred with Tom Selleck in "Blue Bloods," with Maggie Q- in the adaptation of the action film by Luc Besson "La Femme Nikita." In the drama "The Immigrant," Sarafyan played a girl who came from Poland to New York in search of a better life and was taken to the hospital.

The next year, Angela got the main role in the fantastic thriller "Westworld." Sarafyan turned into a robot prostitute Clementine, but the actress saw the personality behind the mask of the doll.

In the era of the Wild West, according to the actress, women of this profession were treated like any other woman who worked. The doll uses her attractive appearance and computer "brains" in her interests.

The attack of Clementine on the heroes of Anthony Hopkins and Geoffrey Wright reminds her of terminators and once again shows the danger of the machines over the human. Playing a robot, Angela made a conclusion that her character is more human than it seems. The only question is whether the machines can empathize.

According to rumors, Sarafyan's husband was a director and playwright Narek Gaplanian. He also was born in Armenia and moved to America. Narek wrote the script and music for the film "Lost and Found in Armenia," in which Angela starred along with Dave Sheridan and Jamie Kennedy.
