Biografia
Sasha Piltsin is a North America-based actor and Russian and Ukrainian dialect and language coach for film and television, providing on-set and private coaching for productions worldwide. As an actor, he is known for his work in Sniper: Assassin's End, Kompromat, Infidelity Can Be Fatal, and Crossing, with additional credits across feature films, television series, and commercials produced in Canada and the United States.
Known for a structured, performance-based approach to Russian language and dialect coaching developed specifically for actors, Sasha's work is valued for its practicality and reliability in professional production environments, helping performers deliver consistent, believable, and authentic performances on screen. His performance-based approach has been presented through professional workshops for UBCP/ACTRA performers and recognized within actor-training environments. His three-part Russian Accent for Actors video series has been added to the electronic library catalogue of the National Theatre School of Canada in Montreal, where it serves as an educational resource for students and faculty.
His dialect and language coaching credits include Riverdale, Supergirl, The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Siren, The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco, and The Twilight Zone. He has worked on productions for Netflix, The CW, Apple TV+, Paramount+, and other major studios, providing Russian and Ukrainian dialect coaching, language coaching, script translation, dialogue preparation, subtitles, voice-over coaching, and on-set language support.
Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine (formerly the USSR) and raised between Ukraine and Russia, Sasha brings a lifelong understanding of both languages and cultures to his work. A graduate of Capilano University in Cinematography & Film (Vancouver, British Columbia), he made his first guest-star appearance in 2000 on the CTV series Cold Squad, portraying Mikel, an NHL player targeted by organized crime. Since then, he has continued to work as both an actor and dialect coach, frequently contributing to the same productions in dual capacities.
His coaching is grounded in a strong linguistic background and extensive experience in performance, translation, and actor training, with an emphasis on clarity, authenticity, and practical application for film and television.
