Russian-born actress, Svetlana Metkina, embodies the essence of grace and talent. Her credits to date include films such as "Bobby" and "Mini`s First Time." The international tale of Svetlana`s success story began at age 11 in the Moscow theater world, growing from there to a string of European films and then stretching inter-continentally, eventually lander her at the center of today`s film making circles. Irrefutably talented, natural, and with stunning looks, Svetlana followed a charmed path to her first US feature film "Slingshot," starring opposite David Arquette, Thora Birch and Balthazar Getty. Though she always spoke English fluently, Metkina worked especially hard to bring her skillful acting into English for the first time. Thriving in the collaborative environment of this film, Metkina enjoyed the enthusiasm of the film`s first-time director Jay Alaimo. Metkina`s character had originally been scripted as a man, but they turned the character into a tough independent woman, a jewel fence going by the moniker "Fast Bobby." The film premiered at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival. Svetlana cherishes theater as much as film. At Moscow State University, she studied Theatre, History, Literature, Music, Art and Philosophy. She also attended Shchukin Acting School of Maly Theatre in Moscow, Russia. Following these studies early in her career she graced the screen of several Russian and European films. Shestarred in the thriller, 300 Years Ago; delivered a touching portrayal as Ailia in the film Family; and starred in The Second Front (2005) a Russian-made thriller set during WWII, also starring Ron Perlman, Craig Sheffer and ToddField. Embracing travel and culture, Svetlana speaks a number of languages and splits her time between Europe, Russia and America, where she especially revels in the differences between America`s east and west coasts. Dynamic and multi-faceted, Svetlana paints and writes short stories as a hobby. The single greatest inspiration in her life has always been her family. Svetlana Metkina, also known as Lana Litwak, has been married to Bold Films producer Michel Litvak, and the couple is currently residing in Los Angeles.
