Early life and education

edit

Lychnikoff was born in Moscow. His father was a professor at the Plekhanov Moscow Institute of the National Economics and his mother worked as a flight attendant.[1] He later received formal training at the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts (also known as GITIS from 1934 to 1991).[2]

Career

edit

In the early 1990s, Lychnikoff moved to the United States.[3] Since his subsequent move to Los Angeles, he has appeared in many TV movies and series and feature films. He is noted for his roles as the telegraph operator Blazanov in HBO's Deadwood series, as Russian mobster Vadim Youchenko in the movie Trade, as an Mi24 Hind Helicopter pilot in Charlie Wilson's War, and as Dima in Battlefield 4. He also appears as Howard Wolowitz's Russian cosmonaut crewmate Dimitri in the TV series The Big Bang Theory.

Lychnikoff has also made several stage appearances in Russia and the U.S. His self-written play The Shelter, which he also directed, was nominated for the Californian Ovation Award in five categories, and Lychnikoff's performance in it received positive reviews from a number of critics.[4]
