THE ACTOR'S STUDIO OF ORANGE COUNTY

Born in Belgrade, Serbia, Pav moved to the US with his parents at an early age and has lived in Los Angeles ever since. He has always had a fascination for filmmaking, starting from making Lego movies in elementary school that are still on YouTube. In high school, Pav was captain of the water polo and swim teams, and acted in multiple plays, often going straight from practice and games to rehearsals. His senior year, Pav was the lead prosecutor for his school’s Mock Trial team. Over the summers, he worked as a lifeguard and children’s swim instructor. After getting his BA in Economics at UCLA, Pav was an auditor at a Big 4 accounting firm for 2 years before he resumed cultivating his dramatic talents at ASOOC.

​

Over the past 3 years at ASOOC, Pav built a foundation of rigorous training. His advanced coursework includes scene study, on-camera technique, audition technique and voice and speech, with a particular emphasis on improvisation — a discipline in which he’s trained extensively, sharpening his instincts, spontaneity, and collaborative skills. Pav has honed a toolkit that allows for both grounded realism and bold creative choices. 

What sets Pav apart is a relentless curiosity and drive to grow—not just as an actor, but as a well-rounded artist and human being. Outside the rehearsal room, Pav is constantly acquiring new skills, from archery and skateboarding to portrait drawing, cooking, and self-guided language study — beyond Serbian and Spanish, which he speaks fluently. This dedication to learning enriches his work, allowing him to bring authenticity, physical precision, and nuanced understanding to a wide range of roles. Whether mastering a new accent or embodying a character with a specific skillset, Pav approaches every challenge with passion, discipline, and an eagerness to transform.

Whether in performance or preparation, Pav brings professionalism, a collaborative spirit, and a fearless commitment to storytelling in its most truthful form.
