Interview with Viktoriya Dov

Viktoriya Dov is a 22-year old model residing in Los Angeles, California.

How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Hello, my name is Viktoriya, and I’m originally from Sevastopol, Ukraine, the former USSR.
When I was 8 years old, due to a green card win, I moved to Las Vegas, NV, and then again relocated to Los Angeles, CA, when I turned 18. I pretty much left without saying anything at all.

I’m definitely a car enthusiast, I’m an artist. I draw, paint, and write, mostly Novels and Screenplays.

Since I was four years old my profession and passion has been acting; I didn’t get to start on it until i turned 18, unfortunately.

When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?

To be honest my passion has always been film, I was very inspired by certain movies when I was young. I was brought up on all the Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, & Dolph films, that made me decide that, that is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

My goals include making the movie I just wrote happen within the next year, It’s a film I wrote for myself and two other actors in mind, then I just want to constantly be working on different and interesting projects. As well as finishing writing my biography screenplay and filming that. I know the little gold statue doesn’t mean anything at all really, but I’d like to be awarded one. I plan on opening my own auto shop in either LA or Las Vegas. I will own my car collection in my garage, and have property in NYC as well as Pacific Palisades. And honestly to just keep working, that makes me the most happy.

I’d also like to buy my mom a house, so she won’t have to work anymore, even though there’s no connection there.

How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?

It’s really just your luck, I can book something, and once it’s done filming you’re freaking out on where are you gonna work next, what are you gonna work on next!! Hire me, hire me, hire me. Work work work.

Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.

I just want to say we both probably have had our bad experiences with starting out in the industry. Because we’re so fresh and new to it. You don’t see what you’re getting yourself into. And people do take advantage. I walked into a porn audition once. I had no idea.

Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?

I thought I booked a shoot once, and it was a fetish nightmare, I had to leave… But it’s so scary the things you get yourself into on accident when you don’t know any better!

Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?

There’s a lot of things that i would change in both Entertainment and Modeling Industry’s….

Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.

Muay Thai, and Jiu Jitsu, I wish I could constantly be taking those classes!

Please share something people don’t know about you.

I hide a lot about myself, a lot. And it should probably stay that way. No body knows.

Would you change anything about yourself (physical or otherwise) if you could?

I wish I never cut my hair from when it was past my butt!!!

I wish I was more patient in certain aspects. I constantly feel the pressure of time.

Have you ever stolen anything?

Until I turned 18, I was completely insane. There’s so much I can put into that! But stealing wise… From 14-18 I stole everything… I stole food, i did beer runs and bottle runs… I stole clothes, shoes, jeans, I’d walk into a store with one pair of shoes and walk out with another. And I stole my mom’s car once. But we all do bad things when we’re young, right!?
