Meet the Men on 'White Lotus' Season 3
Frank J. Avella READ TIME: 11 MIN.
Julian Kostov
Born in Bulgaria, the sly and mischievous-looking Julian Kostov plays Valentin's hunky Russian friend, Alexy, who flirts with the besties and sheds most of his clothes in the process.
He is probably best known for his role in the Netflix show "Shadow and Bone," and he also had a significant part in the spy series "Alex Rider." Kostov was inspired to pursue acting by Heath Ledger's performance in "The Dark Knight." His film credits include "London Has Fallen" (2016), "Another Mother's Son" (2017), and Bulgaria's International Feature Oscar submission this year, "Triumph," opposite Maria Bakalova, where he delivers a very funny and impressive turn.
