Biography

Veliko Stoianov is a distinguished representative of Bulgarian cinema. His roles span from the Wild West and the Middle Ages to coastal and mountainous settings, as well as from the era of great Bulgarian kings to modern times. He graduated from the National Academy of Theatre and Film Art in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1973 and began his career in theatre, gaining valuable experience. After performing in over 30 theatre roles, Stoianov transitioned fully to film acting in 1980. He made his cinematic debut while still a student in 1970, when the Italian film "The Lover of the Great Bear," directed by Valentino Orsini and starring Giuliano Gemma, was shot in Bulgaria. Stoianov was cast as Bolko-Fold.

The year 1978 marked a significant milestone in his artistic growth, largely due to his role in Ivan Terziev’s TV series "The Hamlet," written by the renowned Bulgarian poet Konstantin Pavlov. This work remains a landmark in the history of Bulgarian television films, addressing the issue of Stalinist abuses in rural Bulgaria. The film was banned for 11 years and received enthusiastic acclaim when it premiered following the fall of the communist regime. Portraying one of the main characters, Stoianov delivered a complex, psychologically nuanced performance — eccentric, sympathetic, and tragic all at once.

Renowned not only for his striking presence but also for his professional dedication, Stoianov displayed remarkable skill in the film "The Father of the Egg," where he performed scenes 30 meters underwater and 300 meters above ground on a helicopter, all without the use of a stunt double.
