Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1963, Louis Pappas began his career, on stage, with the Drexel Hill Players in 1971. Also an accomplished pianist, he studied classical piano at Settlement Music School. In 1979 he moved to South Florida where he attended Broward College furthering his music education and taking creative writing.

In 2004 he founded Angry Pig Productions with the idea of using the camera to bring about social change. His first film, Off Ramps, a documentary dealing with the issue of the criminalization of the homeless population in his town, had a successful run being selected in five festivals out of only seven submissions. Since that time, he has written and directed several short films winning festival accolades and awards all over the world.

In recent years Louis has also returned to acting, and has booked roles in several films including: The Shift starring Danny Glover, and The Last Hit, where he plays the lead, a hitman who saves a young girl from a ruthless gangster.
