Real Tricks, Not Effects
For scenes where ball touches, freestyle tricks and movement need to land live in front of the camera.
Saki is lead actor, trick double, choreographer, sports model, photo model, soccer artist and Cristiano Ronaldo lookalike in one casting — for TV commercials, brand films, branded content, Super Bowl spots and FIFA World Cup 2026 campaigns across the United States and worldwide.
Saki is a professional soccer freestyler, sports model and Cristiano Ronaldo lookalike based in Germany. For US TV commercials, brand films, branded content and ad campaigns, he has worked for over 16 years with agencies, brands and production companies — including Sky, adidas, PUMA, UEFA, Mastercard and Burger King. Caples Awards 2022 Bronze winner for the M&C Saatchi UAE Burger King commercial.
When a commercial lives off soccer, it doesn't live off effects — it lives off real skill on camera.
Planning a TV commercial, Super Bowl spot, brand film, branded content, OTT spot or music video with soccer scenes? Saki delivers professional soccer tricks, dribbles, choreography and freestyle sequences directly on set — for US TV advertising, social-media spots, streaming productions, Spanish-language ads for Telemundo and Univision, greenscreen shoots, lifestyle campaigns and international film productions.
As a Cristiano Ronaldo lookalike, sports model, photo model, soccer artist, commercial actor and soccer choreographer, Saki supports US directors, ad agencies, brands and production companies in shooting dynamic soccer scenes. Whether it's a bicycle kick, ball control, trick choreography, close-up on the ball or an action-packed commercial scene — every move is timed to the script, camera angle and brand storytelling.
Repeatable, camera-ready and predictable on set. That's the difference vs. pure lookalikes or standard castings: Saki combines the Cristiano Ronaldo look with documented professional freestyle skills, sports modeling experience and 16+ years on set — a performer who actually pulls off the trick. With FIFA World Cup 2026 hosted across 11 US cities (June–July 2026), brands across sportswear, beverage, finance, payment, fast-food, automotive, telecom and broadcast are scaling soccer-led campaigns at a record pace. Now is the time to book.
Saki offers full-service production talent for commercial shoots, spot production, brand film production and sports campaigns — from storyboard phase to final take. US ad agencies, production companies and brand teams find in one person what would otherwise require multiple separate castings: lead actor, CR7 lookalike, sports model, photo model and on-set choreographer.
US productions book Saki when they don't just need a sporty look — they need real ball control, repeatable tricks, set timing and camera experience. With tight shoot schedules, an actor who covers multiple roles saves time, prep budget and additional castings.
For scenes where ball touches, freestyle tricks and movement need to land live in front of the camera.
The rare Cristiano Ronaldo lookalike who actually plays — body language, posture and ball technique read as authentic on camera.
For shoots with exact timing, multiple takes, close-ups, greenscreen, product moments and complex camera choreography.
Ideal when sports model, photo model, soccer actor, CR7 lookalike and on-set movement coaching are needed in one person.
International TV commercial with M&C Saatchi UAE. Saki starred as the Cristiano Ronaldo lookalike in a mockumentary-style brand film.
Burger King launched the Plant-Based Whopper with a campaign aimed at meat lovers, flexitarians and plant-based audiences in one beat. The creative strategy: a mockumentary featuring an overconfident Cristiano Ronaldo lookalike — building toward the punchline that "some things just aren't as good as the original. Burger King's new Plant-Based Whopper is."
Saki was cast not only for his uncanny resemblance to Cristiano Ronaldo, but also for his charisma, comedic timing and authentic soccer presence on camera. The commercial was shot over two days in Bulgaria and was the only film from the MENA region to win a Caples Award in the TV and Video Advertising category that year.
