Hello and welcome,

bio

LILIYA is a very talented international actress and model who has worked all over the world, including USA, Russia and Australia as well as Argentina, Spain, Greece, Germany and New Zealand.

Not only does LILIYA have an angelic face and a knockout body but she also has a Law degree from the University of Sydney. While at university, she found time to act in short films, music videos and TV commercials.

After she became a qualified solicitor in 2008, LILIYA enrolled at Screenwise Australia and sent her photos and resume to casting agencies and directors. Within a few months she had her first leading role in an independent Australian feature film. This was followed by a supporting role in another feature that will enjoy cinematic release around Australia this Fall.

In 2010 LILIYA was already working in Los Angeles on a TV pilot FLASHING LIVES as a female lead.

This gorgeous blonde has adopted all things Aussie and one of her favourite pastimes is surfing. Some of her other interests include dancing which isn't surprising when you learn she was a member of the Ballet Academy in Moscow as a teenager.

When LILIYA is not working, you can often spot her at her local cafe enjoying a good book or in the company of friends.

Keep WATCH on this Working Dog Film26/01/2012Keep WATCH on this Working Dog Film

Josh Lawson, playing Ben, hooks up with Russian hottie Katerina Sinova, played by Liliya May, so Working Dog put up a billboard in Swanston Street showing the blonde promoting a Bergine watch.

No one raised an eyebrow about the fictitious tennis player or the brand. This amused the film's cerebral producer, Michael Hirsh, who said: ''We are so used to tennis players promoting watches that we don't even blink when there's a fake.''

Liliya will be making her red-carpet debut at the premier on February 5 at Crown's Village Cinema in Melbourne.

Any Questions for Ben? opens in Australia on February 9, 2012.

Any Questions for Ben?07/08/2011Any Questions for Ben?

If you loved THE CASTLE (often quoting tell him he is dreaming as your favourite catch phrase) and THE DISH, you will be super excited to hear that Australia’s hottest production team, Working Dog, has a brand new comedy called ANY QUESTIONS FOR BEN?.

If it'll be half as funny as what it felt like when we were filming, it'll be super funny and spanking hot!

This highly anticipated feature film, directed by Rob Sitch, will be released 9 February 2012!

p.s. ANY QUESTIONS FOR BEN previously went under the working title "25".

WORKING DOG PROJECT01/11/2010WORKING DOG PROJECT

Liliya has been cast in the new comedy from the team behind The Castle, The Dish and Thank God You're Here.

The film, which is currently titled 25, is filmed in Melbourne's CBD. Tom Gleisner, Rob Sitch and Santo Cilauro wrote the script and Sitch is directing the film.

Working Dog executive producer Michael Hirsh described the film as young, sexy and a bit of fun.

25 centers on three men having the time of their lives so it's over to the lads with blonde tips, discount suits, novelty ties, service-station glasses and white scuffed shoes to do us proud for the big screen.

Liliya is very excited to be a part of this film and to be working with the award winning and brilliant team from Working Dog.
