Biography
Isyanov was born in Voskresensk (Moscow Oblast) on 20 August 1962, and served in the Soviet Air Force for two years. He worked for two seasons at a regional theatre in Khabarovsk, before enrolling in the MKhAT Studio-School in Moscow, under Alexander Kalyagin, graduating in 1990.[2] He also studied three summers overseas at the British American Drama Academy's "Midsummer at Oxford" program in England. He began his professional career as an ensemble member of the Theatr Clwyd in Wales.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he decided to stay in Britain on his work visa, and continued working there. He made notable film appearances in the Nicolas Roeg-directed Two Deaths and the James Bond film GoldenEye, both in 1995. He had a supporting role as Cornelius in Kenneth Branagh's epic adaptation of Hamlet, released the following year.
In 1998, Isyanov moved to Los Angeles, where he lived and worked until his death in September 2021.[2]
