Dmitri began acting at the age of four, performing primarily in commercials. When he was seven, he made his feature film debut in the movie "Step Brothers" with Will Ferrell, Adam Scott and John C. Reilly. The part was a small one, but it was a particularly touching scene. He then had leads in various short films, all of which went to film festivals. "A Border Story" was an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival, and in "Salvation Road" he played, at the age of nine, a boy unloved by his stepmother, and brutally beaten by his father, who has a chance meeting with an assassin with a conscious (played by Russell Hornsby) and well, I'll leave it at that! He then co-starred in the feature film "Jessica's Journey", and the TV movie "Christmas Twister" with Haley Lu Richardson. He was seen in a smaller supporting, but adorable and energetic role in the TV movie "Rock The House" starring Jack Coleman and Cassi Thomson. Dmitri's episodic work includes both comedy and drama with roles in "Suburgatory", "Eagleheart", "Parks and Recreation", "NCIS", Disney's "Tasty Time with ZeFronk", "The Last Ship", Nickelodeon's "Wendell and Vinnie" (recurring), "S.W.A.T.", "Game Shakers", etc. As much as Dmitri loves acting, he also is interested in working behind the camera. At the age of 12, he wrote, directed and co-starred in his first ten minute short film titled "The Hunt for Shadowman". It was a lot of hard work, and ambitious since it was an action film--and was done on a shoe-string budget. He learned a lot about camera angles, choreography, working with kids AND animals, lighting, and the importance of keeping to a schedule. He also contributed to the editing process, and found out how much post-production sound contributes to the mood of a project. This film was accepted to the Roswell International Film Festival. Dmitri graduated from Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, CA and now balances auditions and work with his college film studies.
