Portrait of Maloviere from The Broadcasting AgencyIntroducing Maloviere ~ not only an Actor, Character-Model and ‘Look-Alike’, but also a Musician, Composer, Poet, Calligrapher, Astrologer and English-Tutor in the classical manner: always impeccably attired in the style of a true English gentleman, he brings the precision and perfectionism of a bygone era to everything he undertakes, from speaking and writing to acting and modelling, and, in a distant echo of his quarter-blood White-Russian heritage, is habitually accompanied by ‘Countess’ Katya, last in a series of distinguished Russian-Wolfhound companions extending over the past thirty-five years. His time now, however, is divided between his country-home in Devonshire and professional arena in London, where his former calling of consultant astrologer & personal counsellor has merged into his latter occupation of teaching The Queen’s English to foreign graduates and active or aspiring professionals, complemented by a parallel vocation as film-&-television actor, photographic model and historical ‘look-alike’.

As an actor, he has featured as Charles Dickens in the B.B.C. Television network-trailer for Dickens at 200 (Nov. 2011-Feb. 2012) and the B.B.C.1 Christmas-Special Oliver (Dec. 2006); as King Charles I on B.B.C.1’s Good Fortune; Nostradamus for B.B.C.2’s Timewatch; The Magician in Channel 4s Mental Magic Week (Nov. 2005); the Elizabethan poet Christopher Marlowe for the Channel 4 series Hell on Earth; Shakespeare in the cinematic drama-documentary Looking for Richard (which both starred and was directed by Al Pacino); Nicholas II (the last Tsar) in the music-video From The Beginning, for the Disney animated feature Anastasia; Leonardo da Vinci in The Da Vinci Shroud – Revealed (Channel Five, July 2009, repeated 1/3/2012); and in many advertising-campaigns, including those for Microsoft Office, B.T. Phonecards, The British Tourist Authority, The Post Office, Chiltern Railways, Häagen-Dazs, Bombardier Beer, Bonham’s, Boden and Simpsons of Piccadilly, many of them as Shakespeare. Most recently, he served as the model for Madame Tussaud’s rendition of the nineteenth-century Australian national poet Henry Lawson, created for a permanent exhibition of Antipodean culture in Sydney, New South Wales.

As a model, Maloviere has appeared in innumerable haute-couture fashion-editorials for the Condé Nast Group (including L'Uomo Vogue, Männer Vogue, GQ Style, Per Lui, Marie Claire, Brides Magazine and Riders Magazine), a number of photo-features (for example in The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian, The Observer, The New Yorker and Londons Time Out magazine), and in limited-edition collectors’ catalogues for Japanese designer Monsieur Nicole and London fashion-tailors Social Suicide. He has also been interviewed in his own right for The B.B.C. Latin-American Service; Radio-Télévision France; Faces of England for Japanese television; The London Evening Standard; The Sun Newspaper (July 2005); The Guardian (The G2 Close-Up, 30/04/07); Details Magazine (New York); Scene Magazine (London); 'The Dandies' edition of The Chap magazine in September 2007; and, most recently, for the three-part documentary Britain's Ugliest Models, made about one of his principal agencies, Ugly Models, which was broadcast on Fiver (August-September 2010).

He has also appeared in various national and international television-commercials (among them those for Sony Playstation, Sega Dreamcast, The Portugese Ministry Of Culture, German Railways [with super-model Cindy Crawford], Camelots National Lottery, British Telecom, Harveys Bristol Cream, Arthur Price of England, Lindt Swiss Chocolates and The Sun newspaper); music-videos (including Alfie with Mick Jagger, The Box Song for B Tuff, Big Countrys Beautiful People, Babe for Take That! [in which he both appeared as The Composer and created the calligraphy], and most recently I'm Not Your Toy for La Roux); and as a cat-walk model in numerous international fashion-shows staged in London, Paris, Milan, Düsseldorf, Tokyo and New York, some of which were also televised.

As a musician, Maloviere has both performed and recorded with the group Symbiosis, playing violin, balalaika, domra and a delicate Russian steel-strung dulcimer called a tsimbala: he appears on their relaxation-album Touching the Clouds (on the track Rivers of the Sun), and on their global-rhythms collection Dancing in Your Dreams (on a tune called Sesamum Seed & Rice), both of which may be auditioned or downloaded world-wide through iTunes.
