Actor Kresh Novakovic is currently starring opposite, Dylan Walsh in Fright Fest (2017). Previously starring with, Eric Roberts, Armand Assante and Sean Young in the drama-mystery Leaves of the Tree (2016), which he produced on location in Sicily, with his brother, Ante Novakovic. Their previous collaboration - the short film The Fix (2013)- in which Kresh starred opposite Assante - was nominated for Best Short Film at the Norwegian International Film Festival, the Palm Beach International Film Festival, the Sarajevo Film Festival and the Catalina International Film Festival. Most recently, Kresh was a featured player opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Colin Farrell in the upcoming mystery-thriller Solace (2015) A native of the Bronx, New York, Kresh attended Mt. Saint Michaels High School in Mount Vernon. He attended Fordham University for theatre acting and screen-writing. He credits director Martin Scorseses Mean Streets (1973) and Raging Bull (1980) as seminal influences, and he was inspired by the chemistry elicited by Andy Garcia and Ellen Barkin in the 1988 television action-thriller Clinton and Nadine (1988). For Kresh, the world of movies was definitely an escape from the harsh realities on the mean streets of the Bronx. It also allowed him to hone his emotional instrument for his first stage performances at the Common Basis Theater, working with his teachers, Marcia Haufrecht and Greta Seacat. Perhaps influenced by his love for Scorsese films, Kresh's first three experiences in the movie business were film that starred Robert De Niro.
