Yaron Mesika Actor

Contact Supporting member

I'm a bilingual on screen actor, voice actor and performance capture performer speaking English and Dutch, represented by Dean Panaro Talent in LA, and Cruel Talent Agency in London. I have studied with various teachers, training in the Spolin, Chubbuck and Stanislavski acting methods, and have a wide range, playing both comedic and dramatic roles for film, tv and commercials.

I played Benedict the Gorilla, the lead in AAP (2022), a television series in the Netherlands, leads in indie films, like 'What you and I share with the Salmon' by Raynor Arkenbout (Cannes Film Festival), and 'Burnout' by Kevin Jochems, and supporting characters in television series such as Turbulent Skies, Sleepers, Dag & Nacht and Mocro Maffia.

As a voice actor I've contributed my voice to animation and video games for Star Wars, Genshin Impact, Sony, Square Enix, Disney, EA Sports, Marvel, Netflix, Cartoon Network and more. I also trained in performance capture with Neil Newbon, Victoria Atkin, Roger Clark, Michael Antonakos, The Mocap Vaults and others.

I have worked on (international) commercials for brands such as Europol, The Ministry of Defence, T-mobile, Knab, CCV, Energie Direct and Van Helder, as an actor and voice actor.

Fully vaccinated (3x).
