Ivan Sinitsin
- Actor
Ivan (pronounced ee-v-AH-n) Sinitsin was born in California in 2012. With a grandmother philologist and a major theater fan, Ivan would learn poetry very early on and participate in many of grandmother's theater endeavors. This set the precedent for his future artistic ambitions. He began his artistic career from the age of six: ballroom dancing, saxophone, piano, gymnastics, combat karate, and lots of theater. By age seven, Ivan started taking acting classes and the following year he decided to fully pursue an acting career in Hollywood. Ivan's parents, being supportive of his dreams, relocated closer to Los Angeles, CA.
Ivan booked his first role at the age of nine, working side by side with Alex Sparrow in a project that's to be announced. A few months later, he booked his first feature film role playing the young protagonist in an epic film that was filmed on all seven continents titled "Nomad" and directed by Taron Lexton. In early 2023, he appeared in an episodic role on the "911 Lonestar" series. That same year, Ivan also booked a role of a Rapper Boy in another feature film "Christmas Angel" directed by LazRael Lison. He also joined the Star Wars family in the final season of "The Bad Batch" series in a recurring role of Jax (SP-32). In early 2024, Ivan worked on a feature film "American Solitaire" directed by Aaron Davidman, portraying the protagonist (Slinger) at a young age.
In addition to acting, Ivan continues to work on his ballroom dancing. He is actively competing with his sister in most Southern California Ballroom Dance Competitions. In November 2022, Ivan decided to try ballet and since then became a pre-professional ballet student at The Grand Academy of Ballet in Los Angeles. He loves music and continues to play piano, saxophone, and recently added a ukulele. After being invited to try musical theater this year, Ivan begun taking singing classes as well.
Outside of his artistic endeavors, Ivan loves to read books, write and learn new jokes, go to the gym and spend as much time outdoors playing soccer as possible.
