Im a professional cinema actor from Lithuania. I also have a Sicilian and Kurdish roots. Im available to play subtle roles that requires vulnerability, inner life and controlled emotions , characters with psychological depth and passion or even some kind of tension. My strongest traits are close-ups, listening and thinking, expressing intensity in a more subtle way. I love to work on simplicity, which i think opens the door for more complex and real presence of a character and his inner world to camera.
I have played leading role as an agressive heroin addict who has a pregnant girlfriend which is also a heroin addict( that picture has won some awards in europe, and some critics from USA and Europe called my performance as documentary and intensively realistic, which was a huge compliment for me, back then i was only 21 years old). I also played a big supporting role as a depressive, existencialistic lawyer in the tv show. Also played a solid role as a priest who sells drugs, and smaller parts like a police officer, silent and introvertic son of a blind egocentric art collector.
Im dedicated actor who always seeks for sensitivity, improvement , big challanges and oportunity to change physically and spiritually for the role in the picture. For example for one movie teaser i lost nearly 30 kg of weight in just couple of months. So learning new things or change my body drasticaly is not a problem , but very interesting challenge for me.
Beside my professional actor degree which i got in Lithuania music and theater academy in 2021 i also had huge masterclass with great cinema acting professor from USA Barry Primus, he changed my understanding and approach to acting. I learned how to prepare myself better for a role, he taught me how i can really experience emotions from inside and be truly present on camera. Later after a lot of research i discovered Stella Adler , Lee Strasberg methods those inspires me the most.
