Born in the former USSR, diminutive Russian Olesya Rulin has the type of pint-sized body that’s made to be a ballerina. That’s why this under 5’0 cutie’s trained in ballet, having toned her body with enough pirouettes that a guy can’t help but peer at it. Born in Moscow, Olesya moved stateside at age 8 and lived in Texas and Utah, but can still speak read and write her native tongue fluently. She got into modeling after entering a contest as a twelve year old, before transitioning to acting; financing her brief appearances on shows like Touched By an Angel and Everwood by hawking boy shorts and briefs at Victoria’s Secret. After playing a troll in Halloweentown High (2004), Olesya stuck with the mouse for the role that would make her famous: frequently hatted piano player Kelsi Nielsen in High School Musical (2006). They had to make Olesya seem nerdy, lest Rulin ruin the whole idea that Zac Efron wouldn’t want her instead. She stuck around for the sequels, even “graduating” from the trilogy while 22 years old in real life. She moved on to college with her role as Abby on Greek, before landing her sexiest role to date: Calista Secor on Powers. The Playstation Network’s first original show, Sony was smart enough to let Olesya wear a very sexy superhero bikini as part of her “Retro Girl” costume. PS, there’s nothing wrong with playing with yourself. Since that show was cancelled in 2017, Olesya has mostly shown up in the occasional network drama like SEAL Team and NCIS: Los Angeles, while also playing Amber in Devious Nanny (2017). It’s typical Lifetime fair, with Olesya as the psychotic young au pair, whose perky pair will make your husband beg she baby-sit on his face. We just wish Olesya Rulin would wear less clothes! That would rule!
