Dalip, an individual of Indian descent, spent his formative years in London, where he embarked on a career as a UK Metropolitan Police Officer, specifically joining the Crime Squad during the tumultuous 1980s. Subsequently, he left the police force to pursue a career in acting and directing, acquiring a Master's degree in Performance Studies from London's prestigious Central School of Speech and Drama, a Postgraduate degree in Theatre Education from the University of London, and a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Acting from Middlesex University and Montclair State College in New York.
During the early 1990s, Dalip toured extensively with the Caught in the Act and Soapbox Theatre companies in the UK, as well as performing at the renowned Edinburgh Fringe. In 1994, he began directing and training actors, theatre makers, and educators. Over the past two decades, Dalip has held senior positions and led staff teams at the UK's Hertfordshire University, Rose Bruford College, and Australia's Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.
After completing his tenure as an Associate Professor in 2013, Dalip devoted himself entirely to his work as an actor, which can be seen in his recent TV and film credits.
