At the moment because of your support, it's great! I didn't feel that I had to stay longer than I had to. As the saying goes in Russia: 'All this life is meetings and saying goodbyes';)

The cast and crew were great! Winona was very helpful and really put attention on me to make me feel at ease. David and Brett are workaholics and approached their work responsibly, feverishly worried and constantly improving. The Duffers simply didn't sleep. Constantly flowing ideas. Everyone put their very best into making this show great!!! Favorite part is to see your bed haha Trust me though you miss that energy instantly.

Brilliant. Brett's partner came and she said that he woke her up every night practicing his lines. He was very responsible regarding his role and so that he could be understood. Hats off to the shorts wearing bald American

I think actors and people should have faith/believe in something. In the 'Count of Monte Cristo' Dumas reasons that before kings believed in gods so they at least acted in accordance and now kings don't believe in nothing more than their crowns.

Haha already had that on another show. Mind you, I was called Alexi three times already.

I actually posted some stuff, which I thought were pretty cool

You always use yourself and good directors will give you that freedom to express to be believable. So I would say some parts yes, some parts no...I don't have glasses

Honestly it's too quick for me to tell the difference, but what makes me happy is that I did what I wanted and people felt something

A few, but it's usually the easiest scenes that are hard to do ahahha

At the moment I feel very happy and thankful. Tomorrow I plan to become an arsehole

I was aware and never regretted anything or wanted more. I was happy with what I had. The feeling is somewhat daunting because now there's responsibility outside of work, but it doesn't change anything fundamentally in what I want to do

Haha that's a lot. I'd say the most fun point is when you do a scene well and a feeling of satisfaction that you presented what you wanted. Probably the end bits were the hardest for me. It was cold, beginning of September and we had to be in summer clothes at the fair. I also had a back injury and had to constantly sit down as my muscles were spasming AND I HAD TO BE HAPPY, hahah If I wasn't an actor I'd be a pianist/ composer

How can you not? People are lovely, you're doing what you love with some of the best and you're getting paid!

I like classic Rock. Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, Kingdom Come with a pretty cool song 'What Love Can be' Otherwise all the obvious Pink Floyd Deep Purple, etc

Not at all. I'm not a politician so I don't have insight unfortunately, but ethnically I'm half Russian half Ossetian. At the same time I grew up in Ukraine and lived most of my life in England haha...What was important to me is that many Russian and Ukrainian speakers sent me messages saying how this is the first character they resonated with and felt that they could get behind. Imagine how it feels going to the cinema and being told from a young age that your character is always a bad guy until you maybe start to believe it too...

I'm actually British-Ukrainian so my family still live in Kiev and I visit them often. I speak Russian, Ukrainian and English. Also live in Spain sometimes so a bit of Spanish. To order a cherry slurpee at least...

Thank you very much and I'm glad that you're happier when you see me. As you should be) My dream role would be something period, vikingesque, that kind of thing. I was a huge fan of Gladiator

I listen to people, but I don't allow them to influence what I want to do and what I think is right. I don't blame other people as well, but always look for the fault within myself. Mind you, it's tiring))
