Miika Pihlak is a freelance actor working in both theatre and film, primarily based in Estonia. In 2021, he graduated with a degree in Theatre Studies from the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy.
From an early age, Miika was drawn to cinema, theatre, and acting, although he initially saw them as hobbies rather than a career path. Over time, however, life continuously led him back to the performing arts, which have since become his primary passion and professional focus. As an artist, Miika is inspired by the everyday tragedies of modern society—moments and situations that resonate with us all.
Miika has appeared in several TV series, including the lead role of Joonas in Still Waters by Hindrek Maasik; in short films such as Happy New York by Lukas Kacinauskas and the lead role of Jass in Hunger by Katariina Aule; as well as in feature films like Year by Mihkel Kuusk and Kids of the Night by Priit Pääsuke.
In addition to acting, Miika is deeply passionate about dance, to which he has dedicated a significant part of his life. As a dancer and choreographer, he enjoys exploring the boundaries of physical expression and embracing the beauty of strangeness.
Miika is a native Estonian speaker and is fluent in English.
