Gevond Andreasyan

Gevond Andreasyan, born May 12, 1981, right in the heart of Yerevan back when it was still part of the Soviet Union, has made a name for himself bouncing between producing and acting. He’s got this way of dipping his toes into projects that, honestly, don’t just blend into the background noise of cinema. His work on “Cooties” (2014) probably threw a few people for a loop—a horror-comedy where elementary school kids turn into flesh-eating monsters. Yeah, you read that right. Not your average zombie flick, and definitely not for the faint of heart or folks with weak stomachs. Then there’s “Guardians the Superheroes” from 2017, which is basically Russia’s answer to the Marvel craze. Super soldiers with wild powers, a bear-man with a chain gun (I mean, come on, who thinks of this stuff?), and a vibe that’s all in on the over-the-top action. It’s not subtle, but it doesn’t really want to be. “Koma” (2019) is this trippy science fiction ride through a collapsing dream-world where the rules of physics just sort of… take a coffee break. Imagine reality bending and folding like origami, with Andreasyan pulling the strings behind the scenes. Off-screen, Gevond’s married to Izabella Andreasyan, and they’re raising three kids together. Seems pretty grounded for a guy whose filmography is packed with mutant kids, bear-people, and worlds that make Inception look straightforward. He’s not just another face in Russian cinema—dude’s got a knack for picking projects that grab your attention, even if you’re just channel-surfing on a lazy Sunday.
