Alek feels fortunate to be endowed with both technical and creative sides, which has helped him to grow in more than one direction. True, working as an actor - while running a multi-service business - is no easy task. But such versatile lifestyle is a privilege, a gift that brings exciting opportunities, interesting challenges, and ultimately - unforgettable experience!

      Alek was born and raised in Moscow. His parents had technical background: they worked as engineers, his dad has also worked as a translator & interpreter for many years. As a hobby, they performed in theater, played some piano, and were passionate about classical music. It is with great pride that Alek has inherited many of their skills! He started taking piano lessons while in 1st grade. Five years later, he rejoined the music school, and learned to play drums, xylophone, and percussion. Since then, music became his passion and lifelong companion.

      Alek's 'Acting' journey began when he was 9 y.o. - an opportunity landed him (and his brother) on the stage of Moscow's Teacher's Club theater, where his dad regularly performed; Alek started playing bit parts. At age 12, he was invited to Gorky Film Studio - to play a small role in a feature film. That was Alek's first encounter with the Film industry; and when he set foot on the movie studio - he was mesmerized! Without yet fully realizing it (he was only 12), acting became his dream.

      In 1991 Alek and his family moved to the USA, settling in Los Angeles. While growing up, he liked computers, working with numbers, and was very creative; so, he decided to aim for a Software Development career. He attended the CSUN university; and by the end of year 2000 Alek graduated, earning a Bachelor's degree in Business and Information Technology - with a heavy emphasis in Database Programming.

      As time went by, Alek's dream of becoming an actor never faded away. So, In March 2001, he started doing background work - the best way to get into Showbiz. (Victoria K, thank you for all your help!) And, in early 2004, Alek signed-up with a talent agent, soon getting his first principal role; and onto the upwards spiral! Since then, Alek has worked in TV shows, national commercials, short and feature films, and dozens of voiceover / ADR / Looping jobs. He has a great character look, piercing blue eyes, high energy, unique music sensibility, and outgoing personality, all of which have made him a great addition to Hollywood!

      Alek continues to pursue 'Acting', which also includes jobs with his classic car (the 1970's-1980's theme is having a comeback!). At the same time, Alek enjoys being a business owner, entrepreneur, -- working with clients -- doing Software Development, as well as Piano Playing gigs at special events.

      Alek wants to thank everyone who helped & supported him along the way, including his family, friends, relatives, co-workers, clients, and his talent manager!
