With a growing body of work that includes television and film, Noureen DeWulf is surely becoming the ethnic "it" girl in Hollywood! She is an acting chameleon: transforming from Arab to Indian to good old American. Noureen is known for her quirky comedic character work as well as her serious drama credits. Noureen DeWulf graduated in 3 years from Boston University's School for the Arts and moved to Los Angeles in 2004.
Shortly thereafter she booked a lead role in "West Bank Story" a musical comedy about Palestinians and Israelis. For this role, Noureen's heritage as a Muslim was essential in allowing her to utilize an Arabic accent as well as a true character portrayal. Noureen played "Fatima", a singing and dancing Palestinian cashier who falls in love with David, an Israeli checkpoint guard. The film premiered in competition at Sundance Film Festival 2005 and has since won accolades at several film festivals including "best live action short" at the Malibu Film Festival.
