How did you realise that to be an actress is your vocation? At what age?
I have had this dream since the early childhood. I played in the theater at school, I participated in the WHC at the institute, I have always had creative moments, but I did not associate them with being a cinema actress. ... In the USA the talent, the way you look, predisposition to play a drama, comedy or action are evaluated most. Everything is noticed immediately.
During 2012–13, Gia Skova filmed several movies and signed for several more including a Sci-Fi trilogy. She also starred in a Sci-Fi TV pilot called "Starship Orion", scheduled for a 2014 release. Skova portrayed also Victoria Cougar in the Slasher film Muck.[7]
