acting 演员

My career as an actor has been in China, where I have played roles in more than 30 films and TV series.

This shot is from the movie "City of Life and death" (南京！南京) where I play Dr Mark, a Canadian doctor who assists the Chinese during the war with the Japanese.

I feel very proud that the film, among other international awards, won the top Golden Shell prize at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain, my country, and also won the Best Cinematography prize.

Acting with Jackie Chan in the film “Chinese Zodiac 12”, on the East coast of Taiwan. Having the opportunity to work with him is an unforgettable experience.

This photo is during the shooting of the movie 猴年马月, in Gulangyu island, 鼓浪屿, A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in southwestern China . In the film I play the character of Viktor, a Russian mafia boss who threatens the protagonist, a handsome Chinese young man who woos to my daughter, a beautiful Russian girl. My performance is in English but I have some lines in Russian! In the photo, with the tough guys from my gang of criminals, great actors indeed! Director Zhang Li 张力.  

For me the real journey is acting. You don't travel to another country with your luggage, you travel to another world with the eyes of a stranger: your character. You experience the world from another unknown "me", and all you have are your emotions to bring it to life. And then the magic happens: the world, as you knew it, is now totally different. 

Welcome, stranger!

I have been lucky enough to film in many regions of China, and above all with excellent professionals in the industry. In the film "Once Upon a Time in Tibet", by the excellent Chinese director Dai Wei, I was lucky enough to shoot these scenes under the photography direction of Mark Lee Ping-bing, the Taiwanese cinematographer, photographer and author with over 70 films and 21 international awards, such as The Assassin, or In the Mood for Love, for which he received the Grand Technical Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Having the opportunity to act under the direction of such an excellent director and a master of photography was an honor!

The feature film 飞虎队 谍 战 (Flying Tigers Spy War), by Chinese director Li Shu (李 舒) is a Chinese action-spy thriller based on the American classic "Flying Tigers", from 1942, starring John Wayne. In this movie I play the same role as John Wayne in the original story,  but the plot is different: infiltrated in my Chinese Flying Tigers I have a spy secretly working for the Japanese army.

The first time I saw myself on a movie poster. Strange feeling, seems not real ... Shooting in Yunnan province, China, on the border with Myanmar.
