ABOUT ME
Classically trained actress, producer, and filmmaker Veronika Dash was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and raised in New York City, where she developed her craft performing with various New York theatre companies. Her early work included leading roles in Shakespeare productions such as Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Romeo and Juliet, as well as musical theatre productions including The King and I, A Chorus Line, and Guys and Dolls.
A magna cum laude graduate of the USC School of Dramatic Arts, Dash has appeared in CSI: Vegas, Lucifer, iCarly, Grand Hotel, and the SXSW-premiering feature Idiotka. Fluent in both English and Russian, she brings versatility and authenticity to a wide range of roles. After relocating to Los Angeles to continue her career, Veronika quickly began booking television, film, commercial, and print work while continuing to expand her work both in front of and behind the camera.
Dash was nominated for "Best Actress" at the Mammoth Film Festival for her incredible role as Emily in "Before I Go." She plays a rich socialite, Amanda, in the upcoming thriller "Fade to Black," playing opposite Karan Soni and Max Carver, and TV Reporter Rebecca in feature "Isabels Garden," which won Best Feature at IFS. Dash has worked with some masterful actors like Michael Caine, Jane Fonda and Harvey Keitel in the Oscar nominated feature film, “Youth” directed by Academy award winner Paolo Sorrentino, and Mos Def in the blues biopic,“Cadillac Records,” and showed off her comedy skills with Justin Long in “For A Good Time Call.”
Veronika has studied with legendary acting coach Larry Moss, learned Shakespeare from the renowned Patsy Rodenburg and has studied voice and movement, as well as animal work, with the great Alexander Technique teachers Kristof Konrad and Jean Louie Rodrigue. Having an inherently comedic side, she’s also studied improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade.
Beyond acting, Veronika has quickly established herself as a sought-after creative behind the camera. She recently directed Edward Burns and Connie Britton on a branded content shoot for The Family McMullen and has produced dozens of content days, global press tours, and digital campaigns for major studios including Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Universal, NBCUniversal, Neon, Lionsgate, Paramount, and Amazon MGM Studios.
Aside from loving film, theatre, art, music and poetry, she also has a great passion for learning new languages, traveling, and volunteering. Veronika is well-versed in Italian and has visited over 30 countries on her quest for culture and adventure. She’s a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, yoggie, car enthusiast, fashion designer, boxer, spicy food lover and beginning onscreen fighter. She has also partnered with #hashtaglunchbag to give back and help feed the homeless in LA and is an ambassador for “Boo 2 Bullying” to help support and inspire the youth facing difficult times.
Veronika Dash has an incredible presence on and off screen, an insatiable love for life and an incredible humanity she brings to her work. Her bombshell appearance doesn’t overshadow her undeniable wit, quick sense-of-humor, genuine personality and chameleon-like ability to transform into a role. She hopes to one day share the screen with Cate Blanchett and win an Academy Award, an Emmy Award and a Tony Award!
