Stefan Spasov is a young, ambitious, but already experienced actor, who showed his talent with his last role in the feature film "Kill the children first" directed by Dimitar Orovchanec. It is his first leading role in a feature film, and we talked about what his experience was like and what fulfills him the most as an actor in the morning show "Sloboden Pechat".

Satisfied with his role, Stefan says that although he had little time to prepare, he still managed to fit in and coped well with the challenge.

- It was great, interesting. I had 7-8 days before the shooting. Another kid was supposed to play, but he probably dropped out, he wasn't an actor. I was in Amsterdam and they called me to tell me that I got the part and asked if I wanted to play. Of course I accepted. Considering I had 7-8 days, I think I did great, it was even more of a challenge. And I think it turned out great - says Stefan about his role in the movie "Kill the children first".

Stefan is an employee of the Macedonian National Theater and has several plays in the repertoire. He loves acting unconditionally, but still prefers to act in front of the movie camera.

- I personally prefer a movie. But whether I'm in the theater or at the movies, I think
acting should be natural. You need to know how to "fake" that it's true. And if I play a play in a children's theater, if I fall and hit my knee, I will really cry - says Stefan.

He fell in love with the profession of an actor when he was very young and says that he actually never wanted anything other than to be an actor.

- I couldn't think of anything else in my life. I also liked psychology, but I am not a great student. However, my psychology was again because of the characters. I have never wanted anything else. Since I was born I love acting and nothing else.

I like to improvise, it's nice. That's a big part of acting for me. I want to insert something of my own, something new. It will still be something from me, the charm will come out and it will be more natural, he will live anew - says Stefan about his profession.

Nowadays, hardly any young person does not use social networks, and Stefan is one of those few. He says that he is aware of some opportunities that he loses because of that, but still he does not want to share his private and professional life on social networks. He has always liked to spend his free time in the theater and, as he says, he has seen some plays as many as 30 times.

– I like to see plays a lot. I've watched it 30 times. That is why I have changed colleagues in MNT. I entered plays without a single rehearsal, because I knew the texts. For example, I go to a play and see only one character. Next time, I go and see another character. And I think I know the plays better than all the actors,
because everyone knows their own character, and I know them all, says Stefan.
