About Me

Peter Sim Som is an LA-based Cambodian American, Gay, and Buddhist writer and actor eager to increase representation for minorities and unheard voices. 

With years in the musical arts, Peter has been in countless rooms where he was the only person of color, auditioning for shows that excluded minorities like himself. After witnessing film and television's impact on representation, Peter pivoted his work to writing scripts and stories that included minorities in the plot lines.  

Peter is currently a West Coast Page at NBCUniversal, where he’ll develop his entertainment industry skills through the rotational program. He recently graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BFA in Television Writing and Business. 

Peter also continues to act . He stars in a queer coming-of-age short film titled, Skin Can Breathe (on HBO Max) and leads an upcoming horror-thriller short called, Urge. 

At the same time, Peter consistently writes stories from various genres, using a common thread of love, finding family, and healing past traumas. Through his career and work, Peter Sim Som strives to expand representation so that no one feels the same exclusion his inner young performer felt.
