Actor(2022)

Actor is a Russian drama series following Ivan Lipatov, a struggling performer who lands an unexpected opportunity to play the most challenging role of his career—a real person with a family, a steady job, and mounting problems. As Ivan steps into this character's life, he discovers that his decisions carry genuine consequences, affecting the safety and wellbeing of many others. The series explores the blurred line between performance and reality, asking whether an actor can truly inhabit another person's existence or if the weight of real responsibility will break his carefully constructed facade. Lipatov must navigate personal relationships, professional obligations, and moral dilemmas that no script could prepare him for, forcing him to confront what it means to live authentically.
