IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Pavel Kostytsyn is the famous Ukrainian actor and TV presenter. When Pavel was 12 years old, he began to play in the children's theater called «Golden Key», in his native city - Evpatoriya, Crimea. That time, the boy couldn't even imagine that at his 23 years he will move to Kiev, where he will graduate from the Karpenko-Karij Theater Institute and will start the serious engagement in the television industry.

"Jokingly, I always say that my life in show business began when I had become 12 years old, in May of 1987. But that time I didn't think seriously about my acting career."

He wanted to become an electric locomotive engineer or a pilot. "If I hadn't become a TV presenter, I would have become a pilot" - says Pavel.

Since 1997 he had been a head of the information department for four years. And over the years he had become a program director at «Nashe Radio», where he proved himself as an excellent leader. But Paul never just stands still - he always develops and improves. So, since 2001 he started to work as a creative director on the TV channel «Inter», a director-producer and a TV-presenter of the TV-shows "Love at the first Sight" and "The Crossroad of Love", which had won the hearts of the thousands of viewers. After all, probably, at that time there were no such people who hadn't appreciated the charisma of the promising presenter. He had helped to unite the hearts of hundreds of couples who were in love. And the viewers loved that.

"The work of a TV presenter (not only in Ukraine, but everywhere in the world) is not a "sugar" or "a job for lazybones" - says Pavel. - The fact that we have 15 degrees above zero outside and we need to record a program on the street with my "chic hairstyle" - first it seems like a professional adversity... But right in the beginning I knew what I was doing and what responsibilities this profession of a TV presenter involves, when at the age of 14 I had decided to become the one".

Since 2005 till 2007 he again had appeared on the screen as the host of the TV-show "Games of the Patriots". And since October 2007 he had become the TV-host of the project "The Psychic Battle" on "STB" channel.

Since 2010 Pavel had been conducting "Mystical Stories with Pavel Kostytsyn", in which he successfully was investigating and revealing the most mysterious stories, as well as determined the strongest psychic of all seasons of the show.

It's said that the famous TV-host possesses with supernatural abilities by himself. "I have a strong intuition. I see prophetic dreams and fix which of them have come true. I know for sure that I have become a better judge of characters", - Pavel confesses.

In the actor's professional bank Kostytsyn had gotten several roles in cinema and TV series, among which are: "Personal business" (director V. Melnichenko / TV channel "Ukraine"); "Brother for brother-3" (director O. Turansky / TV channel "NTV"); "The case officer on call-4" and "Retribution" (director - D. Tarasov / TV channel "2+2"); "My sweet home" (director S. Storozhev, 2019); "The Riddle for Anna" (director A. Salnikov / STB).

Also Pavel Kostytsyn had made many successful and memorable works in the dubbing. In all three parts of the famous cartoon "Despicable Me" (Universal Pictures / Illumination) Pavel had created the Ukrainian "voice" of the main villain of the world - Felonius Gru. And in the full-length Hollywood "Aladdin" Kostytsyn had given his voice to Genie (Jinn).
