About
I’m Max Tsurkan, a Ukrainian performer with a solid foundation in hospitality from Chernivtsi State College of Business and Food Technologies. I’ve always loved cinema and the thrill of performing on stage, where I can bring characters to life and evoke genuine emotions. My first theatre experience with Cornerstone introduced me to the art of telling stories with presence and voice. Now I’m seeking opportunities in the Netherlands to continue growing as an actor, taking on challenging, deep, and sometimes controversial characters, like those I admire on screen and stage.
I love cinema and theatre, and I’m eager to act again—whether on stage or in film. I aim to explore and learn in the Netherlands, where there are more chances to grow, collaborate with diverse artists, and push my craft to new depths. The experiences I’ve had—from auditioning for roles to performing The Place of Judgment with Cornerstone—have shaped my ambition to pursue a lifelong career in acting.

Work experience
Actor · Cornerstone TheatreJul 2021 – Present · 5 yrs 5 mos
My first role on stage was a character named Yosyp. He was a young man who died from a drug overdose and a bad way of life. He did not realize that he was standing in God's court because he was lost in his own world. At first, he joked and was happy to be in a beautiful place he had never seen before. But then, he slowly understood what was happening. His joy and laughter turned into fear and begging for mercy.

During my studies, I gained extensive hands-on experience through practical training in various food service establishments. My education provided a strong foundation in the food and hospitality, allowing me to work in restaurants, hotel and restaurant complex, and other hospitality businesses in Ukraine. Additionally, my diploma qualifies me for roles in restaurant administration and operational management, including overseeing processes in restaurants, cafés, bars, and pubs. Despite my field of study, I have always loved cinema, acting, and conveying emotions on screen or stage.
