Mark Alexandrovich Eidelstein (Russian: Марк Алекса́ндрович Эйдельштéйн, also tr. Mark Aleksandrovich Eydelshteyn; born February 18, 2002) is a Russian film, television, and theatre actor.
He gained fame after playing the leading role in the drama The Land of Sasha,[1] which made its worldwide premiere in February 2022 at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival.[2] He has been dubbed by journalists as the "Russian Timothée Chalamet".[3][4][5]
Early life and education
[edit]Eidelstein was born on February 18, 2002 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. He has a younger brother, Matvey Eydelshteyn (English: Matthew Eidelstein) and is of Jewish heritage.[6]
His mother, Olesya Valeryevna Eydelshteyn, works as a teacher of stage speech at the Nizhny Novgorod Theater School named after Yevgeny Yevstigneyev. There, a young Eidelstein often skipped classes.[6]
In 2018, Eidelstein passed the regional selection for the "Living Classics" competition for young readers and made it to the all-Russian final, held in Artek. There, Eidelstein met the dean of the acting department of the Russian Institute of Theater Arts Taras Belousov, who advised him to finish school as soon as possible and enter a theater university — which he did, upon graduating from his mother's school in 2019, entering the Moscow Art Theater School-Studio. He graduated in 2023.
