with Eirian Cohen

Your upcoming movie The Night Monica Came Back - in a few words, what is it about, and what can you tell us about your character in it?

I was very lucky and happy that I could play adult Thurston, he is quite a character and a show-off. He  wasn’t afraid to do anything. Of course everybody knew that he was making things up and that he was a total loser. Some of the scenes have been challenging, I loved every minute on set.

What did you draw upon to bring Thurston to life, and how much of Petr Malinkovic can we find in him, actually?

I explored the character's personality, and did my best to make him a little more expressive. Some scenes I found myself nervous in because so many actors were involved and this was my first role. 

With The Night Monica Came Back being a horror comedy, are these genres that actually appeal to you, both as an actress and as a viewer?

When I was younger I watched horror movies quite a lot and comedy is my top genre, even nowadays. As an actor I love to participate in creating and being able to experience emotions in various ways – horror comedy is great combination of scary situations and laughter.

Shooting The Night Monica Came Back was actually part of an "actors' bootcamp" - so do talk about the bootcamp for a bit, and how did you get involved with it even?

I couldn’t wait for Northern Star Acting Bootcamp, it was the first bootcamp ever  and I know Eirian Cohen [Eirian Cohen interview - click here] is an amazing tutor with wide range of experience, mind-set skills and a determination to teach, share and help all new actors. We learned and ate only healthy vegan, and I did enjoy most of the meals at the weekend. I do my training with Northern Star Acting and when I found out there will be the bootcamp I jumped in like I do with all kinds learning and improving opportunities. That’s just me!!!

The Night Monica Came Back also stars horror veteran Laurence R. Harvey from Human Centipede 2 - so what was working with him like?

Laurence R. Harvey is amazing person and actor with many years of acting experience. I think Laurence R. Harvey is great in what he does. All actors at the NSA Bootcamp did his workshop, we all clicked very well and I found him very professional and that we could learn a lot from him.

What can you tell us about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere?

The atmosphere on set was brilliant, everything was very well organised by Eirian Cohen [Eirian Cohen interview - click here], Michael Haberfelner [Michael Haberfelner interview - click here], and also Cameron Prudames did an amazing job with camera and directing actors on set. I found it all very challenging and amazing to shoot so many scenes in one day. It was great fun and all actors worked very hard - it was my first, unbelievably great experience.

This year I’m working on The Mystery Show created mostly by Lucy Marshal, she is a great director and actress, she deserves most of the credit for this show. I will also be part of the webseries Ivan’s Guide to Mother Russia directed by Kris Sumer. Sure this year will be a successful one. 

What got you into acting in the first place, and what can you tell us about your education on the subject?

I learned my acting at Northern Star Acting, this company is run by Eirian Cohen [Eirian Cohen interview - click here] and I love the idea of sharing, learning, experiencing. 

My favourite quote: ”What you learn in life, if you don't share it with others, it will die with you.”

How would you describe yourself as an actor?

I think I am unique, the same as the person reading this lines. My accent is East Europea,n some people say it's funny, arrogant, Italian. Well, I won't argue. I am very respectful and kind but I am sure I can be a pain in ass. Please check my showreel, profile, and you will get some picture of me. You can always ask.

Your favourite movies?

Tais Toi (2003), Red Beard (1965), Forest Gump (1994), …

... and of course, films you really deplore?

I do appreciate all movies because I do know there is lots of work behind all of them.
