Latvian Actor Kārlis Arnolds Avots Attends London Premiere and Prepares for Charity Screening in Riga
Latvian actor Kārlis Arnolds Avots attended the premiere of an eight-part thriller in London, reported in the source. Avots appears in three episodes of the series, directed by Deimons Tomass, where he shares scenes with Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The production centers on former cocaine trafficker Jackie Price, portrayed by Zeta-Jones, who maintains a luxurious lifestyle by laundering money through art sales. After two decades in hiding, Price faces a threat when elite assassins known as the Seven Demons are hired to kill her.

Charity Screening and Veteran Support in Riga
On Tuesday, October 13, at 7:30 p.m., Forum Cinemas Centrs in Riga will host a special charity screening of the recently released Latvian film Ula, in which Avots stars in the lead role.
