- Nikita Bogolyubov was born in Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia). He had his first taste of being an entertainer from ice skating when he was only four years old. His family immigrated to the US when Nikita was only eight years old which allowed him to stay fluent in both English and Russian.
Nikita's television debut came from NBC's Suspect n°1 New York (2011) where he had a scene opposite of Maria Bello. Wanting to showcase more of his versatility, he also worked in various projects at the American Film Institute (AFI).
For his feature film The Saratov Approach (2013), Larry King exclaimed at the premiere that Nikita "stole the movie" with his performance.
He has since been cast on ABC's Castle (2009), CBS' Scorpion (2014), FX's Legion (2017), HBO's Barry (2018) and NETFLIX's Iron Fist (2017).- IMDb mini biography by: anon
