AN ODE TO CINEMA, COSMIC COLLABORATION AND CONSERVATION with Actress Olesya Rulin

Welcome to the first SOUNDFOOD conversation of 2021. In this episode, we are joined by the radiant and multi-talented Olesya Rulin. Olesya is an actress, environmentalist, poet, and kindred spirit. She was born in Russia and spent her formative years living off the grid with her family. At the age of 8, Olesya moved with her family to the United States, where she was scouted and found her calling in the form of acting. She is best known for her starring roles in the High School Musical franchise as well as other Disney films, her role on the hit-show Greek, the Marvel Comic show Powers, and is currently playing a Russian spy on NCIS: Los Angeles. Olesya also co-owns a nature reserve in rural Russia with her mother that is run almost entirely by single mothers. She also authored a collection of poems called “The Hounds of Love”. We discuss her childhood journey, her love of acting, storytelling, conservation efforts, our New Year's resolutions, and so much more. Thank you for tuning in.
