Mubarak Haruna
Mubarak Haruna is one of the fastest rising actors in the Bay Area, building a reputation for his versatility, presence, and ability to embody complex characters with authenticity. Signed with Models Inc Talent Agency, Mubarak has become a recognizable face across the tech and startup world, appearing in high profile commercials for companies such as Apple, OpenAI, Google, and SanDisk. His work in these campaigns has positioned him as a household name in the Bay Area tech scene, where his performances capture both the spirit of innovation and the human stories behind technology. In addition to his work in tech commercials, Mubarak has also been featured in global campaigns for Twilio, Bishop Ranch, Carrington College, and Kilroy Realty Corporation. These collaborations have allowed him to connect with diverse audiences and showcase his ability to bring depth and relatability to brand storytelling on an international stage. Mubarak’s acting journey began in childhood, where his love for performance was nurtured through plays and theatre productions. That passion was further shaped during his time at Saint Mary’s College, where he met his idol and role model Mahershala Ali. Inspired by Ali’s career and mentorship, Mubarak committed to pursuing acting professionally after graduation. He went on to play the lead role in the short film Liam’s Journey and appeared in supporting roles in films such as Circle of Sinners, Planet, DEC 42, and A Camel’s Desertion. With each project he has demonstrated a rare ability to convey raw emotion, subtle power, and a deep command of body language and tone, making him a standout in both narrative and motion capture work. Beyond acting, Mubarak has carved out a successful career as a fashion model. He has graced runways for Oakland First Fridays, Oakland Style Week, Fashion Forward San Francisco, and the Shantell Herndon Fashion and Art Gala. His international modeling experience includes lifestyle campaigns for European fashion brands such as Bershka, Noir Model, Scorpion Fit, Frair Tux, Saint Maurice Clothing as well as professional fashion work in the United States. Whether on the runway or in front of the camera, Mubarak’s poise, charisma, and commanding aesthetic have made him a sought after figure in the fashion industry. Outside of his creative pursuits, Mubarak is equally dedicated to making an impact in his community. As a Product Manager at BRIDGEGOOD, he leads innovation at the intersection of design, technology, and social impact. His work has expanded opportunities for underserved creatives and helped bridge equity gaps in tech. In recognition of his significant contributions to arts and culture in Oakland, he was honored with the Outstanding Citizen Award from Oakland First Fridays. Mubarak Haruna continues to balance his career in entertainment with his commitment to leadership and community empowerment. His journey reflects both artistry and purpose, and he is steadily defining his path as an actor, model, and change maker whose influence resonates on screen, on stage, and throughout the community he calls home.
