Faiaz Valiullin

Faiaz was born in Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan. His passion for the arts emerged at an early age. At just four years old, he began creating puppet shows for his family and guests, stretching a bedsheet between chairs, using a floor lamp for lighting, and bringing his stuffed toys to life as the stars of his stories. Over time, these childhood performances gave way to his first acting sketches, inspired by characters from films. It was during this period that his love for acting grew, and the dream of becoming an actor was born. Faiaz studied at the Russian Institute of the Theatre Arts and the Michael Chekhov Centre, where he gained a solid foundation for his craft. In 2023, he moved to London on a Global Talent Visa, marking a significant milestone in his career. He played the lead role in a production at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where his performance was praised by reviewers from various publications for its outstanding presence and multi-layered portrayal of the character. The production itself was honored with the prestigious Lustrum Award. In 2024, he was accepted into the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (MA/Acting for Screen) In London. Faiaz is living in London, dedicating all his time to refining his craft, and actively seeking opportunities to showcase his skills both in the UK and internationally
