About me

A trained and multilingual actor with an MFA in Film & Theatre from VGIK (2015-2020). Additional training includes Anthony Meindl's Actor Workshop (AMAW) in Los Angeles from 2021 to 2023.
Experience mainly includes Film & TV, in both leading and supporting roles, including work with major studios like Warner bros. and Paramount Pictures. 
My mixed cultural heritage and fluency in 4 languages: English, Russian, Bulgarian and Arabic, has fortunately proven very handy, as I have often portrayed bilingual characters or characters native to countries where I wasn't born - like the US or the Middle East. 
Currently based in my hometown, Sofia.
