Nikolay Shulik

Nikolay Shulik isn’t just some name rolling through the credits—he’s been knee-deep in the entertainment game since he was barely old enough to drive. Born in St. Petersburg, he dove into TV at 16 and, honestly, never looked back. TV shows, commercials, music videos, feature films—you name it, he’s tackled it. He’s bounced between Russia, Ukraine, Sweden, the Netherlands, the US, and the UK, working with all sorts of networks, production houses, and ad agencies. The man’s practically got a frequent flyer card for creativity. And acting? Critics rave about his knack for slipping into wildly different roles, making every character feel lived-in and real—sometimes heartbreakingly so, sometimes just plain hilarious. Doesn’t matter if it’s comedy, drama, or anything in between, he just gets it. Oh, and then there’s his voice work. Russian audiences probably know him even if they don’t realize it—he’s been the voice behind Stitch (yeah, the blue alien), Adam Sandler in “Bedtime Stories,” Miss Piggy, Vanity Smurf, and a bunch of others. It’s like, if you grew up watching dubbed stuff, you’ve definitely heard him. But that’s not all. The dude writes too—poetry, short stories, scripts. Creative itch never stops. Lately, his focus has swung to international projects, especially in London and New York. So whether you’re into film, TV, or just good old-fashioned storytelling, chances are, Shulik’s got something with his fingerprints all over it.
