Magnus Carlstrom
Actor & Writer
Hey There!
I am a New York based actor and writer. I graduated from Elon University in 2020 with a BFA in Acting.
​
Graduating at the beginning of the pandemic left me with a lot of free time, so I explored other avenues to fulfill my creative impulses.
I had stories in my head, ideas that wanted to meet the eyes and ears of others. With this desire to create, I began taking screenwriting classes at NYU TISCH as well as online master classes in writing.
​
Now I spend my time creating new projects, fantastical worlds and rich stories that I will bring to life for audiences across the world!
Breathing life to new worlds
As a child, my father would tell me stories before bed about a strange race called the "Fuddi-Foos". They started out as silly stories meant to entertain my brothers and I, but every night my father would add more and more to their adventures. These strange creatures would go all across the world and to other planets, and each chapter of their story hooked me in more and more. As I grew up, my father introduced me to even more wonderful stories. Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, sci-fi and fantasy epics that inspired me and enthralled my imagination.
​
Once I had seen the classics from his generation, it was my older brother's turn to introduce me to new adventures. He showed me One Piece, the massively popular manga and from there my love for animation took off. Japanese anime like Cowboy Bebop, Mobile Suit Gundam and Dragon Ball topped my list, while on the western side of animation I was watching Transformers, Justice League, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Samurai Jack.
​
The feeling I get when watching these shows, or any show that I enjoy, is magical. Being able to bring an audience into this world you've created, show them what life is like there, and make them believe it's real, fills me with excitement. So now it's my turn. There are so many stories I can't wait to tell, and I hope you i can bring that same magic, joy and inspiration to the next generation of storytellers.
