Biography
Titizian was born in California to Armenian emigrant parents. His father was born in Lebanon and his mother in Jordan, while his grandparents were Armenians from Iraq and Syria.[1] He grew up in Glendale, California. He attended Armenian school and is able to speak, read and write Armenian fluently.[2]
As a child, Titizian would entertain family friends by singing and doing impersonations. He decided at age 19 to pursue a career as a professional actor, but did not inform his parents he had dropped out of college. He got a job delivering flowers to pay for drama lessons, and for nearly a year pretended he was still attending college. After he signed with an agent, his parents discovered his deception but Titizian refused to give up acting.[3]
