Charley Lang's early life was marked by a unique blend of British and American influences, as he was raised in both London, England and Wayne, New Jersey. His introduction to the world of theatre came at the tender age of 14, when he made his stage debut in the title role of 'Oliver!' in a production that would set the stage for a lifelong passion for the performing arts.
Following his stage debut, Lang went on to tour the United States and the world with National Players, a prestigious theatre company, before receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Drama from Catholic University in Washington D.C. His education and experience ultimately led him to make his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning production of "Da" alongside the legendary Barnard Hughes, in which he played the role of Young Charlie.
Lang's subsequent stage work included a range of productions, including "Once A Catholic", "Mass Appeal", and "Strange Interlude", all of which showcased his impressive range as a performer. However, it was not long before Lang decided to trade in his stage makeup for a new career in television and film.
After relocating to Los Angeles, Lang spent many years working behind the camera, honing his skills and building a reputation as a talented and versatile professional. His experience and education ultimately led him to pursue a new path, earning his Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and becoming a licensed psychotherapist in 1998.
As a psychotherapist, Lang co-founded the Narrative Counseling Center and served as Director of the Postmodern Therapy Training Program at the California Family Counseling Center. He has also taught at numerous institutions, including Antioch University Los Angeles, where he directs both the Psychology and Addiction Studies Concentrations.
In addition to his work as a psychotherapist, Lang is also an occasional filmmaker, having produced and directed several acclaimed documentary films, including the HBO award-winning "Gay Cops: Pride Behind the Badge". Throughout his career, Lang has demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt and evolve, always pushing himself to new heights and exploring new creative outlets.
