American actor Solly Assa has starred in numerous films, as well as television series. He was born in 1972, in a small city in Alabama, and was an only child. Unfortunately, when he was around 9 years old, his father died in a car accident and he was raised by his mother and grandparents.

He studied at Auburn University, College of Liberal Arts, and graduated with a degree in theater arts. After finishing his studies, he did some work behind the camera, assisting in the production of some independent films in his native Alabama. In his mid 20's Solly Assa moved to Los Angeles where he began his career by landing smaller parts in films and on television.
