STAN NO¡R is a bilingual Bulgarian actor, singer, writer, and producer. He is best known for being a presenter and a writer on the Bulgarian gaming TV show NEXT TV. He has also done various other TV, film, music and stage projects.
But let's start from the beginning.
Stan got his first dip into the world of acting when he joined his middle school theatre troupe. There he managed to win several lead roles and even managed to perform in front of the then president of Bulgaria - Peter Stoyanov.
Later on, with his high school days nearly over, Stan knew that he definitely wanted to pursue a career as an actor. Not long before graduating high school with honors, Stan was presented with an opportunity to join Art College Sofia where he got a College Degree in Film Directing. That, he says, gave him a better perspective as to what directors really want when working with actors and how actors should approach their work with a director.
After graduating from Art College Sofia, Stan was accepted at the University of Hull's Drama department, where he graduated as an actor in 2014. During his time at the University of Hull, Stan was able to win an academic excellence scholarship twice and took part and performed in numerous stage shows, some of which he helped stage manage and write.
In January 2016 Stan was able to book a part as a presenter, and writer, on the TV show NEXT TV. In June 2016 Stan became a part of the team that created and executed the first ever Bulgarian Game Awards. An independent game awards show held at SRM. He served as a writer for the show and an interviewer during the ceremony. In August 2016 Stan was able to book a small speaking part on Niki Iliev's film All She Wrote. Later that year, in August, he landed a supporting role in the independent short film Chapter 26. He also helped co - write the script with the film's director Vasil Enev. In September 2016 Stan started working on his debut single.
In January 2017 (January 9th), Stan released his debut single and music video titled "Save Me". The song is available on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, Google Play and various other online outlets. After the song's debut, the single went on to chart on 359 TV's Top 10 airplay chart for 3 straight weeks. It also made a top 10 debut on the "New 10 + 2" TV airplay chart (BNT2), where it later peaked at #3. The song is also rotated on the Bulgarian National Radio Stations Network. Also, in April, Stan managed to land a small speaking role on the upcoming Nicolas Cage film #211.
Stan is working on his brand new single Freak & Wild, to be released in 2020, as well as his debut album, to be released in the fall of 2020.
Stan is completely fluent in both Bulgarian and English (he has been studying English ever since he was 5 years old). He spent 9 years practicing and playing competitive basketball all the way through middle school and high school. The experience and determination that he got from basketball has helped him tremendously not only in life in general, but also in his pursuit of acting opportunities.
In his free time, Stan enjoys hanging out with his friends, watching TV shows and movies, reading books and comic books, listening to music, playing sports, playing video games, collecting music on CD and classic TV shows on DVD. He has also developed a great love for the outdoors, thanks to his time as a camp counselor at the Windsor Mountain International Summer Camp where he spent four consecutive summers (2012 - 2015) and was able to teach kids both sports and drama related subjects.
Currently Stan is working on several new singles as well as various other projects, and is looking for more acting opportunities in both Bulgaria and abroad.
