Dino Morea (born 9 December 1975) is an Indian actor, model, and film producer known for his work in Hindi cinema, who has also appeared in several Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu films.[3][4][5] Morea initially established himself as a fashion model before making his film debut in the 1999 film Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi. He got his big break with Raaz in 2002, which turned out to be a major hit.[6]

He had a busy decade following the success of Raaz and worked in films such as Gunaah (2002), Plan (2004), Holiday (2006), Dus Kahaniyaan (2007), Bhram (2008) and Acid Factory (2009). After consecutive commercial failures, he made sporadic appearances in film during the 2010s.[7]

He then acted in web series Mentalhood (2020), Hostages (2020), Tandav (2021), and Kaun Banegi Shikharwati (2022). For his role in The Empire (2021), he won the Indian Television Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor Drama OTT. Subsequently, he expanded himself professionally by producing Jism 2 (2012) and co-producing Helmet (2021).
