Hey everyone, this is Nikolai Kalashnikov, but he prefers to just be called Nik most of the time due to people mispronouncing his name. Plus, he enjoys sounding more American anyway. He's 23 years old, will be 24 in April, and is one of Broadway's rising stars. He was born and lived in Russia until he was about 10 years old then his family lived in England for a year before moving to the U.S. at age 11. When they first arrived in this country, he and his parents (his brother stayed in England and his sister moved back to Russia) lived with his uncle, aunt, and cousins. His favorite cousin was the one closest to his age; her name is Anya (![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) anyamc). She's now married to Zaid McKinley (zaidmc).
Nik started taking ballet at 5 years old while still living in Russia and even appeared in small chorus roles in a few plays and operas while there. He's been a fan of the stage and performing as long as he remembers, but the real defining moment in his life was seeing Phantom of the Opera on the West End in London when he was 10. Ever since then, Broadway has been his goal. As could be expected, he was tormented during middle school and freshmen year of high school. So much so that he started attending LaGuardia performing arts high his sophomore year. He went on from there to study at Juilliard and from there he's been in a small handful of both off and on Broadway productions. He's currently taking part in an off Broadway play called Russian Transport until March 24th.
As far as lines go, I'll pretty much take anything. Fellow actors, dancers, and singers are always a plus. Also, ex-girlfriends (he's dated a few models) would be great too. If you want all his information, as well as a glimpse of his resume, it can all be found in his bio here.

Hey guys, I just applied with this Chris Hemsworth PB and now - I'm fishing for lines. This here's Drew Toeppe, 28 years old and hailing from North Carolina. He moved to New York several years ago and currently works at a record store during the day and at a bar during the evenings. He's very friendly, very approachable, and he's a huge goofball. A kindergartner in an adult body, more or less. There's more about him in his bio and it's open so if you wanted to know more about him, there's that. His premade is The Friend Zone so as far as lines go, it'd be awesome to have a few women around who sees him as nothing more than a friend - since he's perpetually seen that way to begin with. He can definitely use some guy friends to shoot the shit with when he's got nothing to do. Family members, any sort of lines that you think he could fill out would be rad.

Hi. I like people. I like lines. I'd like for my wrists to stop hurting. That's why this is going to be kept short. Noah O'Reilly, once NYPD now bartender. He's awesome but dickie... as I seem to like my men. His PB is Sean Patrick Flannery... Because for two reasons: a) He's super awesome and b) I like me some cheese in my lines. Please, don't be shy. Don't fear about the ridiculous. Let's get silly and stupid up in this plot post. And now I'm going to stop writing for a little bit. Ow. Ow. Ow. Wriiiiiiist.
