About
Portrait 01Utkirbek Kakhorov
Portrait 02Utkirbek Kakhorov

"Business is what I studied. Humanity is what I learned. Acting is where I use both."

I never earned an acting degree. Rather I chose to study people. My greatest classroom has never been a stage — it has been life. Studying Business Management gave me a career when I wasn't acting. Acting gave purpose to everything business taught me. One pays my bills. The other feeds my soul. Together, they make me who I am.

However, acting education wasn't entirely absent - it simply lacked tuition fees and a diploma. I accidentally heard a little about Stanislavski, Lecoq and relaxing the shoulders at least hundred times from my generous masters behind the curtains.
