Pavel Dmitriyevich Lychnikov (Russian: Павел Дмитриевич Лычников; born February 16, 1967) is a Russian-American television, voice, film and theatre actor, who lives and works in the United States.

Early life and education

Lychnikoff was born in Moscow. His father was a professor at the Plekhanov Moscow Institute of the National Economics and his mother worked as a flight attendant.[1] He later received formal training at the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts (also known as GITIS from 1934 to 1991).[2]

Career

In the early 1990s, Lychnikoff moved to the United States.[3] Since his subsequent move to Los Angeles, he has appeared in many TV movies and series and feature films. He is noted for his roles as the telegraph operator Blazanov in HBO's Deadwood series, as Russian mobster Vadim Youchenko in the movie Trade, as an Mi24 Hind Helicopter pilot in Charlie Wilsons War, and as Dima in Battlefield 4. He also appears as Howard Wolowitz's Russian cosmonaut crewmate Dimitri in the TV series The Big Bang Theory.

Lychnikoff has also made several stage appearances in Russia and the U.S. His self-written play The Shelter, which he also directed, was nominated for the Californian Ovation Award in five categories, and Lychnikoff's performance in it received positive reviews from a number of critics.[4]
