- Gender / Gender identityMale
- Began producing his own stand up comedy shows in various bars and rock venues in 2005 around Salt Lake City. Creating what he has coined "The Underground Comedy Movement" of Salt Lake City (aka U.C.M. S.L.C.) where he has drawn, with no budget, acts such as Lewis Black, Doug Stanhope, Ron Shock, Sean Rouse, Auggie Smith, Gregg Turkington, 'Pleaseeasaur', Andy Andrist, Martha Kelly, Tig Notaro and Steve Agee, plus many more.
- His last name at birth was Alibaba...but his father changed it for obvious reasons when Sina was very young.
- Wrote the scene that introduces his character, Nadar, in the movie Church Ball (2006). The director originally wanted to do something in an airport but couldn't do it, so Sina came up with the idea of having him being mistaken for a taxi driver. He improvised the dialogue. The man getting into the car is the director, Kurt Hale, making his cameo appearance in the film. The scene actually ended with Sina's character finally accepting to take his passenger to where he wanted to go since it was on his way...as long as he buckled up.
- Tried to join the Marines at age 16 to get away from a troubled home life.
- Considers himself a Progressive Libertarian.
- My legs are becoming a hot commodity. I have been in skimpy shorts in just about every role I've done. When I get to be too expensive to hire, you're going to hear directors saying "We need a Sina's-Legs-type!" I don't even know why! My legs get more exposure to the camera than they do to the sun. They are so pale with dark black hair...it's like looking down on the aftermath of a forest fire in the arctic.
- The idea of having fans is really strange to me. I'm not talking about supporters...I love anyone who gets what I do and they enjoy it, but the word fan just sounds a little degrading. I don't want to feel like I'm above anybody, ever.
