***Alexander Godunov was the blonde actor. He was a star of the Bolshoi Ballet who asked for political asylum in the U.S. Despite good roles in "Witness" and "Die Hard", his acting career languished, he became severely depressed, and died of alcoholism a few years ago.

He was a good dancer, big and powerful. He started his US career in NY with Baryshnikov, but then some sort of conflict developed and he left. His marrage also fell apart.
