Sina's favorites : Dmitry Chepovetsky


Dmitry Chepovetsky made his way up through TV productions. Small parts at "The X-files", "Stargate SG-1" and "Higher Grounds" made him a well known face on TV over the years. But wait, no it didn't really make him famous. If I'd have written this article before '05 everyone would have looked at me in a strange way and said "Come on, admit it - it's just sympathy you write that for". But in '04-'05 the awardwinning series "ReGenesis" started up in Canada and over night the world (Canada in this case) knew Dmitry Chepovetsky as Bob Melnikov. And only as him. In the 4 years since the series started up Dmitry stopped doing other productions and just wrote a bit on his stage plays he realized after the series was finished. Since then I consider Mr. Chepovetsky one of the best actors I've seen so far! And now that ReGenesis is over I also miss Bob a bit ...

So here we got a very likeable actor, quite young, although no source on the net can tell us how young exactly, of who I especially would like to see much more - at the best as Bob - please.






My personal Top 5 roles:


  • Regenesis (49 episodes) - Robert Melnikov
  • Murdoch Mysteries (s01ep01) - Nikola Tesla
  • The X-files (3 episodes)
  • Man of the year
  • Chain of fools
Editor's note:

Dear Mr. Chepovetsky,

we are kinda worried that you are just a realistic animation like some other actors nobody ever met before. Why ... well mostly because you don't have a date of birth on the internet! But one way or the other we are just big fans of ya, me especially and kinda jealous for that you are an acting genius! We'd reeeeeally like to see more good work of you so probably you can lay your stage career on a rest and do some more series - or do your stage acting in a theatre near us ... the middle between me and the other editor would be the mediterrean sea so probably ... italy? No, please dont take this serious ;) Keep up the great work!

Regenesis - The future today

Well well, to cut a long story short: "Regenesis" is first of all the first TV series on the subject of future technology and chemistry, microbiology and genetics.

Second "Regenesis" also used the latest online medias to create a story far above the series story. Everyone who watched the series from the first episode on could change the online game to get behind the secrets of the series. Some facts are left open and the tv-creators for that purpose created the whole company virtual and you can track down clues all through the internet to solve the mysteries behind the secrets of the employees. There is a story created that mixes up with the real science field so you can be an active part of the series story.

Now for the story: The scientists at the "NorBAC" laboratories handle the most agressive viruses and epedemics, genetic questions and micro-dangers from all across Canada and the USA. They gotta deal with the really smallest problems in the most extensive dimensions. They even dig out the Spanish flu from 1918 to find a final cure and also handle HIV and lepra. To cut it short they are the specialists in any case of dangerous bacteries and cellmutations.

In their first cases they for example gotta find the reason why people all across the country die when they all had contact and why the carrier who spreads the disease all along the way doesnt die, too. It turns out that a baby and his mother were infected on purpose and are resistent against the virus they carry while everyone around dies within hours. While they still try to get rid of the virus a boy comes out of nowhere and tells Dr. David Sandström (Peter Outerbridge) he was a clone born in 1990 when cloning of animals didnt even work stable.

Every character in the series has its own problems and secrets and that is what keeps the thing alive. Basically it also helps when you dont have a clue about genetics and microbiology (like me) because the content of the series is then quiet new to you and you will say out loud from time to time (like me) "Oh wow, that kinda stuff is possible?". Its not like for example Dr.House where you cant really follow the ways the crew thinks anyway and just take the diseases as facts. Here you get to know the way everything works in detail and that kinda scares you after a while.

Great series, go watch it!
