Biography

Juraj Giorgio Valachovic is a young actor, musician, and athlete. He was born in Bratislava, Slovakia, but moved to Udine, Italy at the age of 8 with his parents and his sister. In Udine, he attended Italian schools, occasionally coming back to Bratislava. This allowed him to learn perfect Italian very soon, while also maintaining contact with his home country. During his high school studies, he also enrolled in a USA Dual Diploma Program, mastering his English. In 2025, he successfully completed his Italian High School Diploma, earning also a USA High School Diploma. During these years, he developed a strong passion for sports, particularly swimming, which he practices to this day, and weightlifting. Juraj got close to the world of cinema in his teens, starting first as an extra in a Slovakian TV series. Somehow, what was meant to be just a summer job, turned into a strong passion for acting, and in a big interest for the film industry. With his dedication and his family's support, Juraj then earned some small roles in different productions in Slovakia and in Italy, ultimately lending as the main role in the short film "La Croce di Ferro" (The Iron Cross) directed by Luca Bertossi, in 2024. Juraj plays the electric guitar and other musical instruments while also learning music production, hoping to pursue a professional music career alongside his acting career. Right after graduating from high school, Juraj enrolled in an intensive 1-month acting for film international workshop at Prague Film School in August 2025. For him and his parents, this was a way to test his passion. At the end, other than giving him lots of new tools to use to master his craft, the course gave Juraj the ultimate certainty: acting is what he wants to do in his life, and for as long as he will be able to support his dream, he will go for it at 100%. He is now completely focused on his acting career, actively seeking training, jobs, and collaborations, working on his craft and skill while also creating an original brand for his name, hoping to get more visibility in Italy, Slovakia and Czech Republic.
