INTERVIEW – IGOR PECENJEV AFTER THE WINNETOU TRILOGY & NATIONAL LOTTERY: “ I ENJOY EVERY PROJECT AND WORK ON IT WITH PURE PASSION AND HUGE ENERGY!”

We’ve talked to Igor Pecenjev, a young actor and director. In the Western world, being ambitious is a virtue. While in Croatia, quite often the ambition can be a burden. Igor is a fighter who is trying to make an international career from a small Croatia. He is known for Double-O movie, which he produced independently and you could’ve read about it at our portal. Road to success didn’t stop there. He was cast in Winnetou trilogy, a German production filmed in Croatia and recently he has become the face of Croatian National Lottery. Read our interview!

After the Double-O gala premiere everybody was wondering – what’s next? How did it go in the second part of 2015 after you’ve become the Croatian James Bond?

2015 was a very successful year. Croatian National Lottery signed me as the new face for their instant lottery and in the coming months you’ll probably see me the most across Croatian TV stations. After that collaboration, I’ve been preparing my role in the 3rd part of Winnetou Trilogy and I’m looking forward to the broadcasting of that TV movie. I was also involved in music video for Roko Band. Finally, at the end of 2015 I’ve booked a role in a thriller „Someone Dies Tonight“. I’m honored and thankful to be cast in one of the main roles.

You’ve become the face of Croatian National Lottery. How did this happen?

Actually really simple and the way it should be. I got a casting call, showed what I can do and luckily it was what they searched for. Truly professional team worked on that project and we’re all pleased with this collaboration. Many people congratulate. They are happy to see me in the role of likable, yet clumsy astronaut. I’m very proud of that project.

Two commercials are airing, will there be more?

Seven commercials will be aired in total. I’m looking forward to the next ones. The most important thing is the quality. Positive reaction from the audience means an extremely lot to me.

What was the year like when it comes to film? We are especially curious about Winnetou? Can you share with us some detail from the set?

The first year after graduating film acting by winning the best acting award, I can say with an enormous gratitude that I’m a working actor. I’ve directed and starred in Double-O, acted in Winnetou TV film and I have booked one of the main roles in an international feature movie. Since I’m at the beginning of my career, I have a great start! To be honest, slightly better than I planned. I’m really thankful for every opportunity that I get. About the Winnetou, I can just say that the scenery and the constructed set look amazing. I expect visually beautiful movie. The script is excellent. I believe audience will like it.

As far as we can see, your goal is to succeed on international acting scene? Is the competition bigger abroad and how do you get cast in a movie?

You’ve noticed that very well. That was my path. I’ve trained acting for some time in London at Guildhall, graduated film acting in Prague, worked on several big productions in Toronto, I’m thankful for every step of my way. Last year was also really busy. I’ve auditioned for casting offices from Prague, London, Los Angeles, Zagreb, Belgrade, Berlin, Hamburg… can’t even remember all of them. The projects ranged from BBC to FOX. I have learned so much during the 2015 and I still gather needed experience to achieve my ambitious plans. Acting profession is highly competitive and the odds go against you, but luckily, hard work paid of.

What’s your next move?

Thank you for asking, but I’ll stay mysterious a little bit. People ask me about the career all the time, but I tend to do it first and then say – I did it! At the moment, I’m fully focused on the role in „Someone Dies Tonight“ and I will give my 100%. I have several options. We’ll see. Patience is a virtue. You can follow me on Facebook, also look up for me on IMDb (here). For now, I enjoy every project and work on it with pure passion and huge energy. I work hard, the results are coming or they’ll come when it’s the right time.

Do you have a message for our readers?

I wish you all the best in 2016! Believe, work hard and think positive.

Thank you! We wish you a lot of success in your acting career!
