He is very proud to be a part of "Powerverse", and his captivating performance intrigues Power Universe fans all over the world. Before Konstantin got cast in Power, he did NCIS: New Orleans, where he portrayed Nicolas Antonich, a "painfully European" gentlemen who "could get you anything, even a submarine".

Some of the recent credits include Chuck Lorre's MOM, where Konstantin plays Sergei, Anna Farris's potential boyfriend with an unusual sense of humor. Working in front of a live audience was an amazing experience due to it's fast comedic pace and commonality to theater work which Konstantin misses doing very much. Konstantin had an amazing experience filming the two seasons of the critically acclaimed drama "Ice" (available on ATT, DirecTV and Audience). He captivates audiences playing the heavily recurring character Alexi Yakenev, a pivotal player in the diamond trade crime world of Los Angeles, opposite Cam Gigandet, Jeremy Sisto, Ray Winstone, Donald Sutherland, Rey Gallegos, and Raymond Barry. Created by Robert Munic (Empire) and directed by Antoine Fuqua (The Magnificent Seven, Equalizer). Another new show that is sweeping the critics away is the anthology series Room 104 (HBO). Created by the Duplass brothers, the series "isn't like anything else you'll see on television this year" (Indiewire). Konstantin lives out the titular part of Boris, Croatian tennis player haunted by his past.

In the cartoon world, Konstantin got to voice a few characters in Fast and Furious: Speed Racers, which adds well to his substantial voice over resume of plentiful ADR (Automated or Additional Dialog Recording) and looping sessions for various TV and Film projects. Konstantin's work in Russia gave him a substantial fan following for the romantic leading role of Dr. Orlov in the hugely successful feature, "Happy 8th of March, Gentlemen!" and comedic parts in "Kitchen" (rated most popular SitCom for several years) and "Eternal Vacation" (A new hit SitCom), as well as a Spetsnaz commando leader in a recent action-packed, futuristic "Mafia - The Survival Game". Konstantin believes in hard work and continues studying and developing himself as a person and as an actor.
