Misha Tarasiuk Actor

Contact Supporting member

My name is Misha Tarasiuk. I am an actor shaped by two worlds — Ukraine, where I was born, and Italy, where I rebuilt myself. My life has never been simple, and I carry that truth into my work. I’m drawn to characters with shadows, contradictions, and quiet intensity — people who break, fall, rise, and keep going.

I speak Ukrainian, Russian, Italian, and English. This lets me shift identity, tone, and emotional rhythm depending on the story. I don’t play characters from the outside; I go inside their wounds, fears, and desires. I believe in raw honesty — in silence that says more than words, in eyes that reveal what the script doesn’t.

Before acting, I spent years working under pressure in the restaurant world, moving from waiter to manager. It gave me discipline, resilience, and the instinct to survive — the same instincts I bring to every scene.

I also work with photography and videomaking, which helps me understand the camera not as a device but as an observer. I know how to move within a frame and how to keep a moment alive.

I’m looking for roles that demand truth, weight, and emotional risk. I don’t run from intensity — I use it. I’m here for cinema that cuts deep, that leaves a mark, that tells the kind of stories people remember.
