Anthony Belevtsov

Anthony is a Russian born professional actor residing in the United States. Anthony was born in Donetsk, a large industrial, scientific and cultural city in Ukraine, Soviet Union. Belevtsov’s father abandoned his family shortly after Anthony’s birth. Anthony moved with his mother to Neryungri, a remote town in Siberia, when he was five years old. It was here where he had his first taste of the stage by taking on the role of a moose in the local School Play. He was so talented in all of his performances that his teacher encouraged him to pursue his new found love, the theatre. He was actively involved in almost every play conducted by his school. At age twelve, his mother wanted to provide a better life for her children. She departed for the United States, leaving Anthony and his six year old sister with their Grandmother. Anthony has acknowledged his grandmother’s influence in his life as one of the greatest reasons for his success. It was his grandmother’s support and encouragement that fueled his creativity and love for the arts. She often brought her friends over to the house to be entertained by the young talent. Anthony would tell jokes and perform different monologues, scenes and comedy sketches. Anthony moved to Saint Petersburg, Russia at age 16 and immediately started taking classes at Saint Petersburg State Theatre Arts Academy. In 2005, Anthony joined his mother in Davenport, Florida. His move to the United States was excited but difficult. He was nineteen years old and experienced tremendous difficulties overcoming the language barrier. It was almost impossible for him to pick up where he left off in Russia. Unable to communicate fluently in English made acting a daunting task. In an effort to improve his language skills, Anthony started taking classes at Valencia College in Central Florida. Once the language barrier was behind him, Anthony dove, full force, back into acting and started honing his acting skills. He moved to Orlando, Florida and studied acting at the Truthful Acting Studios. Anthony has appeared in numerous independent and professional projects. In 2013, he played the lead role in the dramatic short film Tysis. In July 2013, Anthony made a guess appearance on the popular American TV series Burn Notice. A few months later in October 2013, Anthony played a starring role in the action thriller Haima. In June 2014, Anthony is finished up his most exciting project to date, a role alongside Kate Winslet, Woody Harrelson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Aaron Paul in the thriller Triple Nine.
