A wild comedy reel appears.

It’s been loooong overdue. Finally, I’m here to put out my new comedy reel. It was painful to part with the “dead baby” clip but the time has come.

New drama reel is up!

This year has been quite busy so far and I'm doing my best to make it even busier.

A year ago, I had no idea this would become my reality. Finally, I can share my mocap reel!

It was a long journey to learn so many new skills and, now, an even longer journey to master everything is ahead.

I can’t thank enough @stammerheadshark, @chadwopschall and @tkgorgonia for believing in me and giving me my first shot in the volume.

They also introduced me to @themocapvaults where I was guided in the world of mocap, creatures, arm extensions and CQB by @richarddorton, @ohmrhall, @darrenbailey17 and @thatmocapguy. I will be forever grateful for what you already taught me and what you are yet to teach!

Huge shout outs to the entire team of @rougemocap for letting me to step into your volume, work and learn!

Next year we’re going PLUS ULTRA!

The best experiences, the best connections, and the best future opportunities have always come to me from working on projects made with true passion.

@rafaelleyvadp brought me on board for #TheFosterRanch, and I can’t wait to see the fruits of this titanic labor!

PS the song from the post gives me goosebumps after all these years. Do you know where it's from?

First half of 2026 flew by.

I'll be honest - last year I was busier BUT this year the scope of my projects is very different. If last year I was getting direct offers for verticals this year I got multiple direct offers for SAG projects. I started doing more dubbing. Polished my VO reels.

I also think that this batch of headshots is the best I've taken so far!

I finally started taking workshops with casting directors to learn what they want. Some answers left me angry (sometimes performance doesn't matter), some showed a way to better my work (a lot of voice over notes that never occured to me before).

But the biggest thing - I was reminded that I should listen to my gut and do things my way. Everytime I try to fit into publicly sold narrative it brings no results.

Lets see if I'm right.

I do a lot of drama, a lot of comedy but oh boy I crave some dark action fantasy.

One day.

Glacier in Montana is a very special place with breathtaking views.
You don't hike to get to beautiful spots. You hike the beautiful spot to get to an even more beautiful one.

Every day the same routine. Sometimes it's annoying, sometimes it's exciting. But it always has to be the best work I can do.

How many lives can one actor live?

Over the years I was blessed to play many different characters, travel for work and meet hundreds of great people. I never stop learning, experimenting and looking for a way to level up my game.

It’s a tough journey but pretty damn fun one!

Every hero needs a villain.

Finding my place in a story was quite a quick journey. While all people I personally meet see me as a protagonist and possible romantic interest, the castings see me as a villain. My first ever short film was about domestic abuse and guess who I played.

I went through many acting coaches and almost all of them talked about the complexity of accessing mental state of a villain which I, honestly, never had any struggles with. What they weren't talking about is the safety of co-stars which became my biggest focus on every set I work at. Establishing trust between yourself and your "victim" is crucial. The industry is full of morons and creeps and every new acquaintance starts with me establishing I'm not one of them.

I wish acting classes covered such things instead of focusing solely on acting.
