  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Born in Sofia, Bulgaria and now a proud British resident, Martin Bratanov embodies the fusion of logic and creative expression. His journey from the cobbled streets of Sofia to the bustling film sets of the United Kingdom has been nothing short of remarkable.

A Lifelong Passion: From an early age, Martin was captivated by the magic of Film and TV. Martin's formative years were steeped in the gritty allure of cinematic underworlds. As a teenager, in the early 2000's he devoured classic gangster movies, dissecting every scene, every character's nuance. The dimly lit streets of Sofia, his hometown, seemed to echo with the footsteps of fictional mobsters. It was during this time that Martin realized his calling - to bring these characters to life, to delve into their complexities, and to portray their darkness with authenticity. Martin knew he was destined for the limelight. In pursuit of his dreams, he embarked on a journey to the United Kingdom. There, he combined his love for storytelling with a practical education. He studied Business Administration, honing skills that would serve him well beyond the silver screen.

Business Acumen Meets Artistry: Armed with determination and a thirst for knowledge, his education in the intricacies of commerce laid a solid foundation, but his heart yearned for the cinema screen. Graduation marked a pivotal moment - a crossroads where spreadsheets met scripts, and balance sheets danced with dialogue. But it was the allure of the film industry that truly captivated him.

The Supporting Artist Emerges: In 2015, Martin took his first steps into the world of film and television as a Supporting Artist. His presence on set was magnetic, whether he was blending seamlessly into a bustling crowd scene or sharing the frame with A-list actors. Martin's commitment to authenticity and his ability to inhabit diverse roles quickly has always been present.

Beyond the Spotlight: But Martin's ambitions extend beyond the spotlight. He harbors a keen interest in film production, eager to shape narratives from behind the scenes. His vision encompasses not only acting but also the intricacies of storytelling, cinematography, and direction. Perhaps one day, we'll see his name in the credits as a producer - a testament to his unwavering dedication.
