Yassen Atanassov Actor

Atanassov received his Bachelor of Drama Acting from NATFA in 2021. After graduation, he did a one month Lee Strasberg technique training with Paul Rush and attended a casting workshop with Nathalie Cheron during the Kranj Film Festival in Slovenia. By this point, he has worked with one of the most famous Bulgarian actors and directors, including Kamen Donev, Ivaylo Hristov, and Stoyan Radev.

He is currently working on the role of Daniel in “Tribes" from Nina Raine in Theatre Bulgarian Army. The types of roles he mostly specializes in are the brave young soldier, the villain, the psycho, or the naïve guy we laugh at.
