Soon to be seen in the action thriller
Ghost Soldier, the actress and tactical action specialist is in NYC and available for live in person interviews starting today
Nov. 11, as well as Nov. 12 & 13th.
The Sony release opens in theaters today Veterans Day (Nov. 11) and stars Jim Caviezel as former Green Beret Henry "Fitz" Fitzgerald with Tetiana Dar as skilled combatant Cava Sokolov. The duo use experimental weaponry and military training to defend their community against a ruthless corporation.
Tetiana Dar is the stage name of actress Tetiana Gaidar, her full birth name. She was born in Ukraine to a family of Spanish origin. Tetiana began her career in her home county as an actress, choreographer and dancer on "So You Think You Can Dance Ukraine" and earned the title of Master of Sport in Kung Fu.
Tetiana is an actress and tactical action specialist occupying a singular position in Hollywood — equally at home in front of the camera and behind it, bringing the same rare combination of physical precision and dramatic authority to everything she does.
As an actress, Dar broke through opposite Titus Welliver in Amazon Prime's "Bosch: Legacy" and has since built a substantial film résumé. As previously mentioned, she co-stars in Ghost Soldier (Sony Pictures/Mandalay, Columbia Pictures) alongside Jim Caviezel, Shea Whigham, Garret Dillahunt, and Olivia Thirlby. She appears in Best Pancakes in the County opposite Nicolas Cage; Atlas King (Saban Films, August 2026) alongside Cuba Gooding Jr., Sarah Wayne Callies, and Michael Bisping; the Bollywood action epic Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups (director Geetu Mohandas, starring Yash), Live or Die opposite Al Pacino; and The Friendly, streaming now on Prime Video. Dar recently completed a new season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 as a lead character Dallas released this October, and is established in the franchise as "Operator Mila" (Season 5 Warzone, Modern Warfare II & III). Short film credits include Less Than Words — which she wrote, produced, and stars in, currently on the festival circuit — Forsaken Mercenary (sci-fi thriller short, with Jesse Kove), and an untitled short directed by Michael Bay.
Her theatrical foundation is among the most prestigious in the industry. Dar trained and performed at the Moscow Art Theatre — one of the world's most celebrated institutions, founded by Konstantin Stanislavski — in The Seagull, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Dragon. She also holds advanced method acting training under Tony Grego and Eric Morris.
Off screen, Dar's tactical career has quietly become one of the most respected in Hollywood. A multi-time competitive shooting champion — Urban Showdown champion, SWPL champion — she has collaborated with 87Eleven Action Design, the choreography studio behind the John Wick franchise, bringing her tactical expertise to productions including John Wick: Chapter 4, Ballerina, The Accountant 2, Sinners, Ghost Soldier, Miami Vice, Copperhead, Terminal List, The Rescue, Bullet Train, Role Play, Back in Action, Enemies, Lioness, RIP, Highlander, Crime 101, Warfare, Frisco King, Man on Fire, The Punisher: One Last Kill, and many others...
Her clients have included Jon Bernthal, Austin Butler, Michael B. Jordan, Keanu Reeves, Ana de Armas, Chris and Luke Hemsworth, Henry Cavill, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jeremy Allen White, Josh Brolin, Will Smith, Samuel L. Jackson, Cameron Diaz, Eiza González, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Hart, Harrison Ford, Jim Caviezel, James Marsden, Jensen Ackles, Rob Lowe, Anya Taylor-Joy, Kaley Cuoco, Michelle Rodriguez, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Megan Good, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Gandolfini, Esai Morales, Lana Del Rey, and Lisa. She has also provided tactical training for directors including Zack Snyder, James Cameron, Chad Stahelski, Peter Berg, Guy Moshe, Antoine Fuqua, and David Ayer.
Physically, Dar's training spans jiu-jitsu, judo, MMA, boxing, ballet, hip hop, contortion, and sword and knife work. Her editorial presence includes Flaunt, Numero Berlin, Harper's Bazaar, Maxim and Canada's eTalk.
With Atlas King and Toxic out in August 2026, Ghost Soldier mid-November, and the recently released "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4" (Activision), Tetiana Dar is having the kind of year that changes careers and elevates the image of today’s versatile actress to a whole other level.
