About me

Estonian actor, trained at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (2020). Best known for the lead role in the historical crime trilogy Melchior the Apothecary, directed by Elmo Nüganen — one of Estonia’s most successful and widely seen film productions in recent years.

His work spans film, television (Revenge Office) and voice acting, alongside his ongoing work as a company member of the Estonian Drama Theatre.

Naturally drawn to investigators, strategists and composed professionals, he brings precision, emotional restraint and a strong physical presence to his performances, with a particular strength for stillness and controlled intensity on camera.

Outside of acting, he works as a mechanic with a professional racing team and as a driving coach — grounding his craft in real-world pressure, technical discipline and focus.
