Callers reaching the voice mail of Bryan Vavro a while back may have felt the need to check the phone number they had dialed after they heard the message.

“This is Jon Snow ...”

Logically, though, the leader of Winterfell in the fictional “Game of Thrones” couldn’t have voice mail, right?

Vavro, a 28-year-old actor from Butler, touts his impressions, accents, dance and gymnastic skills on his continually lengthening resume.

“My favorite skill I’ve used so far is probably my beard,” Vavro joked.

“You’d be surprised how my beard has gotten me roles or has gotten me noticed! I tend to be clean shaven more often in roles though.”

In the past year, he has worked on the Netfilx series “Mindhunter,” the ABC comedy series “Downward Dog,” the NBC drama series “Gone,” and had a role in an upcoming Titanic aftermath film called “Unsinkable.” His roles have ranged from being an extra, to lead extra, actor, to a stand-in and photo double for various main actors.

In “Unsinkable,” he played a floating 3rd class passenger frozen in the water.

“They put make up on me with fake icicles in my beard and hair to make me look dead. I had to be in a pool of cold water for the scene so it felt rather real,” he recalled.

He said the cast and crew filmed “throughout the night till the sun came up to give it that moon twilight authenticity. It was quite the experience.”

His facial hair has also come in handy for another role in the Titanic film. He got to play a 1912 reporter.

“I had a beard for the role and they loved it since it looked accurate to the times,” he said.

The accents and impressions also come in handy at auditions, he said.

“Especially at auditions if they need that. I’ve used them for voice over acting especially. I’ve recorded audio in British, Irish, Australian and Russian accents. I’ve used the voices of Elmo, Mickey Mouse, Mr. Bean, Sméagol/Gollum, to name a few,” Vavro said.

His resume also includes hip hop and contemporary dance and being able to perform flips, backhand springs, walking on his hands and juggling.

“Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved to mimic actors and cartoon characters. Over the years I’ve practiced sounding like them, and now I can use that skill on a professional level while having fun doing it,” he said.

Another recent role saw Vavro playing a reporter in a scene from what’s being called actor, director and producer Seth Rogen’s “Untitled Pickle Project.”

“I got to be part of the scene with Seth Rogen, and where I was located I should be on camera next to the main actors in the scene so when it comes out you’ll be able to see me on the big screen!” noted Vavro.

One day in September, when he was working on the set of the movie about Pittsburgh’s own Fred Rogers (the name may be changed from “You Are My Friend,” Vavro said), he served as a stand-in for Matthew Rhys and got to work all day with him.

Rhys has the role of a cynical journalist opposite Tom Hanks’ Mr. Rogers.

“Really cool, down-to- Earth guy. Great and fun to work with and talk with,” Vavro said of Rhys, who won an Emmy for best lead actor in the television series “The Americans.”

Even more than getting paid to act, his jobs have afforded him experience. He said he has made connections with cast and crew members and gotten insight while being on set.

“It’s been a great past couple years ...”

Vavro graduated with honors from Butler High School and Butler County Vocational-Technical School in 2009, winning the Best Designer Award. His affinity for acting started much earlier.

“I started as a child dabbling into commercials and as an extra for major films, but since graduating from the Art Institute with my bachelor’s in digital filmmaking and video production, these past few years I’ve been slowly but surely having my passion and dream come true becoming an actor and being involved within the film industry,” he said.

He most recently had a part in a New York City commercial.

Mostly though he works around Pittsburgh, choosing to balance acting jobs with other flexible jobs before attempting to make the leap to California.

His parents, Karen Smaretsky-Vavro and Phil Vavro, live in Butler and he has an older brother, Mike Vavro.

He said his acting career actually started with his mom, who worked in her early years as a model, as a TV personality, and with the Pittsburgh Steelers organization.

“So with her background she introduced that industry to me as a child. It caught my interest so she put my brother and me into modeling and acting classes,” he said.

“She knew I was a character back then and had a knack for entertaining. I’m really glad she did because it made me more comfortable in front of a camera, and I learned how the industry worked at a young age.

“My family and I were in a couple commercials together to start off in the beginning, and then in high school I landed an extra role in the movie ‘Adventureland,’ which caught the attention of my fellow schoolmates, which was neat and flattering. Then during and after college ... the acting gigs kept coming and getting bigger and more important and I haven’t stopped since.”
