Career[]
Pavel Kozlov, known in professional wrestling as Victor Romanoff, talented and charismatic, has an extraordinary ability to transform himself in both acting and fighting.
In fighting, he has made himself into the authentic Russian wrestler in American Professional wrestling. Known throughout the wrestling world as the Siberian Fighting Spirit, he sports a hammer and sickle on the side of his head and a slightly exaggerated Russian accent, crucial parts of his carefully constructed evil persona that diehard wrestling fans love to hate.
In acting, he is known for his intense portrayals of evil characters. An American actor of Russian descent, his tough on-screen persona and charismatic personality have earned him roles in numerous short films and TV shows as well as independent productions.
Devoted to his sport, devoted to his acting, Pavel has a life-long, indomitable fighting spirit that has propelled him against all the odds from obscurity in Russia to the world of sports, entertainment, and celebrity in America. He has been transforming his body and his persona ever since the day he first saw an American professional wrestling match on TV in his native Russia. Mesmerized as much by its flamboyant violence as its theatricality, Pavel set out to become an American professional wrestler and later to become an accomplished actor.
So he moved to America, learned English, and with the help of the trainers at the Team 3D Academy of Professional Wrestling, transformed himself into the professional wrestler he had dreamed of becoming. Next, he developed his natural acting ability, graduating from the Meisner Master Acting program, and since 2013 he has been a professional actor, creating complex, often sinister characters on screen while continually honing his craft, attending and assisting in acting workshops and enthusiastically sharing what he has learned with beginning actors.
