    The actor is Odin Lund Biron, an American who graduated from the Moscow Art Theatre School.
    I think his accent sounds cute (and a little bit funny, of course - in a way every foreign accent is).
    Here is a short documentary about him:



    His Russian is very impressive for a person who studied it for just 5 years!

    "– А вам, Один, с какими сложностями пришлось бороться?
    – Я приехал из штата Мичиган всего на 3 месяца в школу-студию МХТ имени Чехова учиться по обмену. Мне нужно было найти общий язык с сокурсниками и преподавателями, а я совершенно не говорил по-русски! Однажды просто понял, что не могу высказаться. А я же актер, мне нужно показывать себя – говорить и шутить! И тогда стал заучивать по ночам стихи Пастернака и Пушкина. И помогло! "
