Romulus  Hotea is a Romanian born, UK based actor, filmmaker, writer, and producer whose work bridges performance driven cinema with psychologically complex storytelling. With a background that spans acting, stunt performance, and film development, Hotea has built a career rooted in physical discipline, emotional intensity, and auteur led creation.
His stage work includes a notable debut performance at Barons Court Theatre (London) in MoonChild by Nina Tolstoy, where he portrayed three distinct characters within a single production.
His reputation for precision, fearlessness, and physical commitment led to sustained work across action heavy features and television, laying the foundation for his later transition into lead dramatic roles.
Parallel to his performance career, Hotea pursued formal training in Film & Screen Business at MetFilm School, based at historic Ealing Studios, deepening his expertise in directing, producing, and screenwriting. This evolution culminated in URA, a psychological crime thriller in which he serves as writer, lead actor, producer and director.
Fluent in Romanian, English, and Italian, Hotea is known for his transformative physicality and distinctive husky vocal quality, developed following a near total vocal loss in 2023 and subsequent rehabilitation, an experience that further informs his psychologically demanding performances.
