German Segal
German Sergeyevich Segal (Russian: Герман Сергеевич Сегал, romanized: German Sergeyevich Segal; born 7 June 1995) is a Russian stage and screen actor based in London. He gained international notice for playing hacker Vadim Trusov in the Channel 4 series The Undeclared War (2022), and for portraying diplomat Henry Olisleger in the BBC / PBS miniseries Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light (2024).
Segal was born in Izhevsk to a family of educators and lawyers. He finished the acting course at the Moscow Art Theatre School in 2018, and earned an MA in Acting for Screen with Distinction from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2023. In London, he became active in the Forum of Russian-speaking Actors.
Segal's feature-film debut was the WWII drama The Red Ghost (2020).
His English-language breakthrough came as Vadim Trusov in Peter Kosminsky's cyber-thriller The Undeclared War, whose story has been described by The Sydney Morning Herald as "alarmingly close to real-world events". Sobaka.ru listed it among August 2022's must-see shows. A second season, to be directed by Paul McGuigan, is in development.
In 2024, Segal reunited with Kosminsky to play the German ambassador Henry Olisleger opposite Henry VIII in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light.
German's short film Covening went on to win Best Dark Comedy nomination at the New York International Film Awards for October 2024.
Segal has also appeared on the London stage. In 2026 he performed at the Golden Goose Theatre in Ramin Gray's contemporary staging of Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband. The production reinterpreted Wilde’s political comedy in a modern setting and featured an international ensemble cast.
