Maya Akra Profile

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Maya Acra, and I am a New York City-based professional actress for television, film, and commercials. I’m a Middle Eastern actress and comedian, fluent in Arabic, English, and conversational French. I have acquired a robust social media following of over 400k followers across all platforms.


I have appeared in TV and commercials in the gulf and Lebanon. I’ve also performed stand-up comedy on Lebanon’s late-night shows, including Hayda Hakeh on MTV Lebanon and Comedy Central Arabia. In addition, I’ve guest-starred on several TV comedy shows in Lebanon and was part of the cast of Watan 3a Watar, which CNN described as the "SNL of the West Bank."


I have a flexible schedule and I am based in Harlem, Manhattan, which allows me to attend auditions throughout the city at short notice.
