Radostin Radev

Born in a small provincial Bulgarian town called Targovishte, Radostin Valchev Radev is of Bulgarian- Turkish descent and is the youngest of three brothers, sons of Valcho Valchev and Aneta Valcheva. All men in the family had at one time been part of either police, firefighting or military forces in Bulgaria. Radostin Radev had gone through Special Police forces training in his preparation for becoming a Bulgarian police officer, following in his father's and grandfather's footsteps. Through a series of events, Radostin had to give up his plans on joining the forces and decided to move to the United Kingdom to pursue a career as an actor. He took a degree in Acting at the University of Northampton before moving to London. During his years at university, he has had brief training on voice and text with Barbara Houseman. His role portrayal of mass- murderer Mohammed Bin Osama Bin Laden in the devised stage piece 'Persecuted' was critically acclaimed as 'honest and sensational' and a fight scene which Radostin and his scene partner, Chris Tyler, choreographed was reviewed as 'the most brutal and realistic fight sequence'. After his final- year production of 'A Servant of Two Masters' at London's Jacksons Lane, he was considered for the Martin Lawrence award for Best Actor of his class. His path then led him to having two professional wrestling matches, one in the UK, one in Italy, after being trained by WWE- signed, Chris Tyler.
