Gia Skova

Biography

Skova was born in Saratov, Russia on July 13, 1991. She was discovered as an actress at age 12 and for the next three years, starred in several television series.[3][4]

At 15, Skova won the modeling contest the Beauty of the Volga, which launched her professional modeling career. She was a model in Moscow by age 16, winning awards such as Ms. Saratov, Ms. FHM, Ms. Fashion Style and Ms. Great Volga. The Italian modeling agency Modus signed her and Skova worked in projects in Italy, France, Spain, and Asia.[5] Still in her teens, Skova starred in several plays in Moscow, winning acting awards such as Best Theatrical Actress of Saratov, and 2009's Best Actress of Moscow Theater.

In 2011, Skova presented the photo galleries of All-Time Bar located in the center of the Russian capital with her photo shoot by photographer Ash Gupta in Spain.[5] She has since been a cover girl or been featured in Vogue, InStyle, Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ and Cosmopolitan, among others.

In 2012, Skova moved to the United States to continue her career as a model and actress.[3][6]

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.

(from an interview to TotalDVD magazine)[7]

During 2012 and 2013, Skova filmed several movies and signed for several more including a sci-fiction trilogy. She also starred in a sci-fi TV pilot called Starship Orion, scheduled for a 2014 release. Skova also portrayed Victoria Cougar in the slasher film Muck.[8][9][10]
