Milan Radisics
Model, commercial actor and photographer known as Sir Sage Whistle in Lay's commercial (2018) and Gorin, a Russian political prisoner in the Homeland TV series (S7 E12). Born in ex-Yogoslavia and based in Budapest, he works worldwide. He speaks Hungarian, Serbian and almost all ex-Yugoslavian languages fluently, intermediate English and pre-intermediate Russian.
Milan first appeared in his breakthrough commercial for Lay's and became a commercial actor at the age of 50, as the quintessential silver fox type.
He was cast in Homeland without an audition, because when director Laslie Linka Glatter ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322128/ ) was shown his photo, she said, "I need this charchter."
He will soon be apearing in the Hyundai electric car commercial as Rocket Guy, and in the Porsche Classic commercial, but with a twist. The protagonist recalls his younger self buying his first car. This ad showcases Milan in an ideal father role.
As a photographer he is familiar with composition, lights and visual expression. This helps him on the other side of the camera as well.
His dream is to appear in classic advertisiments for cigars, cars and fashion, or in Hollywood productions as a villian from some Slavic country, a Scandinavian sailor or a gentleman in a cameo role.
Physical attribute:
Memorable features include his striking cheekbones and imposing white beard, no tattoes, blue eyes and a strong similarity to his son (good father-son pair).
