Meet Suraj Sharma: Ace Out of India

In this month's Million Dollar Arm, 21-year-old actor Suraj Sharma trades in Ang Lee's CGI tiger for a new cohort: a Disneyfied Don Draper. Sharma stars as Rinku Singh, the real-life former javelin thrower who turned to baseball at the behest of an enterprising sports agent, played by Jon Hamm. The young prospect must sweat out a potential MLB pitching contract while awkwardly adjusting to life Stateside. It was that struggle that the New Delhi native—who famously auditioned for his starring Life of Pi role on a whim—identified with in particular. "Like me, Singh was thrown into a situation that came purely out of luck—and he had to do it," he says. "That's where I found my connection with him. Stuff's just happening around you, and to you, and somehow you're far away from it and right in the middle at the same time." Today he's settled in New York to study filmmaking, though it's his work as an actor that taught him about the magic of the camera. "I pitch nowhere near as fast as, like, a 10-year-old who knows how to play," Sharma says with a laugh. "But what's important is looking like I can do it."
