Konstantin Lavysh

Konstantin is working on POWER: Book IV: Force, portraying Rodovan Mirkovic, a Serbian pipeline boss at large. He is very proud to be a part of "Powerverse", and his captivating performance intrigues Power Universe fans all over the world.

Before Konstantin got cast in Power, he did NCIS: New Orleans, where he portrayed Nicolas Antonich, a "painfully European" gentlemen who "could get you anything, even a submarine". Here, Konstantin got lucky to work under the direction of one and only LeVar Burton.

In Tales on BET, Konstantin plays a tattooed Russian Drug Lord, Rysiejko. Directed by Robert Munic, this Irv Gotti creation is based on Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's "Deep Cover".

Konstantin's video game world work is worth a mention, as he plays the main villain in the best-selling Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare. As General Barkov, Konstantin had an amazing experience shooting motion and facial capture. In the next Call Of Duty: Cold War, Konstantin voices the main Announcer. Other video game credits include multiple characters in Battlefield 2042, Call Of Duty: Mobile, Metal Gear - Solid, and WarCrier in Mad Max to name a few.

Some of the recent credits include Chuck Lorre's MOM, where Konstantin plays Sergei, Anna Farris's potential boyfriend with an unusual sense of humor. Working in front of a live audience was an amazing experience due to it's fast comedic pace and commonality to theater work which Konstantin misses doing very much.

Konstantin had an amazing experience filming the two seasons of the critically acclaimed drama "Ice" (available on ATT, DirecTV and Audience). He captivates audiences playing the heavily recurring character Alexi Yakenev, a pivotal player in the diamond trade crime world of Los Angeles, opposite Cam Gigandet, Jeremy Sisto, Ray Winstone, Donald Sutherland, Rey Gallegos, and Raymond Barry. Created by Robert Munic (Empire) and directed by Antoine Fuqua (The Magnificent Seven, Equalizer).

Another new show that is sweeping the critics away is the anthology series Room 104 (HBO). Created by the Duplass brothers, the series "isn't like anything else you'll see on television this year" (Indiewire). Konstantin lives out the titular part of Boris, Croatian tennis player haunted by his past. Directed by Chad Hartigan and written by Ross Partridge (Stanger Things), co-starring Veronica Falcon (Queen of the South).

Konstantin also recurs as the Orthodox priest Father Andrei in several seasons of the award-bathed The Americans (FX) opposite Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys. Other recent appearances include recurring parts of Petrov in General Hospital (ABC), Anton Dotsen in Gang Related (FOX), Meir in Ray Donovan (SHO), cosmonaut Dankov in Castle (ABC), as well as appearances in NCIS (CBS), Intelligence (CBS), Marvel's Agents of Shield (ABC), Last Ship (TNT), and many more.

Konstantin Lavysh was born in Minsk, Belarus, USSR. As a youth, Konstantin was involved in the Olympic Reserve swimming and studied martial arts. He has studied acting for many years and played in the theaters in Minsk and Minnesota. After graduating with a Masters degree in International Affairs, and working in diplomacy, Konstantin moved to Los Angeles.

Some of his educational credits include a master class by Alexander Kuznetsov (Moscow Stanislavsky school), an ongoing Playhouse West Meisner Program, Scott Sedita Studio and Actors Comedy Studio, as well as Improv training.

Some of the acknowledgments of his work include Best Actor in Leading Role awards for Karaganda (28 international awards) and Against Night (shortlisted by The Academy) - both AFI thesis films.

Konstantin can be seen in film directed by Tabrez Noorani (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) and produced by David Womark (LIFE OF PI and DEEPWATER HORIZON), opposite Demi Moore, Mark Duplass, Freida Pinto and Aarti Mann. LOVE SONIA tells the heartfelt and brave story of Sonia (Mrunal Thukur), a young Indian village girl whose life irrevocably changes when she becomes entrapped into the vicious global sex trade network.

Some of the independent projects include the "blood-thinning" part of Lucifer in the TV film, A Night Before Christmas, and a Psychiatry Dr. Julien in a thriller Caretakers, Joseph in a televised stage production about the biblical Joseph, Persian Emperor Artaxerxes in a televised production of Esther, and many others.

Konstantin stays active in theater when time permits, and most recently played 3 different parts in a Fringe 2017 production of The Physicists (Durrenmatt, directed by Ye'ela Rosenfeld).

In the cartoon world, Konstantin got to voice a few characters in Fast and Furious: Speed Racers, which adds well to his substantial voice over resume of plentiful ADR (Automated or Additional Dialog Recording) and looping sessions for various TV and Film projects.

Konstantin's work in Russia gave him a substantial fan following for the romantic leading role of Dr. Orlov in the hugely successful feature, "Happy 8th of March, Gentlemen!" and comedic parts in "Kitchen" (rated most popular SitCom for several years) and "Eternal Vacation" (A new hit SitCom), as well as a Spetsnaz commando leader in a recent action-packed, futuristic "Mafia - The Survival Game".

Konstantin believes in hard work and continues studying and developing himself as a person and as an actor. He dedicates most of his spare time to his family, and enjoys the ocean, cooking and reading. He considers the most important values of a person to be family, honesty, responsibility, intelligence and positivity.
