His time and attention are nowadays divided between his country-home in rolling hills surrounding the Kingsbridge Estuary, Southern Devonshire, and professional practice in London, where his former calling of consultant astrologer & personal counsellor has latterly merged into his teaching of The Queen’s English to foreign graduates and aspirant or actual professionals ~ an occupation fully complemented by his long-standing parallel vocation as film-&-television actor, photographic model and historical ‘look-alike’, in all of which contexts he has come to be considered ‘the very epitome of old-world Englishness’. As an actor, he has featured as Charles Dickens in the B.B.C. Television network-trailer for Dickens at 200 (Nov. 2011 - Feb. 2012) and the B.B.C.1 Christmas-Special Oliver (Dec. 2006); King Charles I on B.B.C.1’s Good Fortune; Nostradamus for B.B.C.2’s Timewatch; ‘The Magician’ in Channel 4’s Mental Magic Week (Nov. 2005); the Elizabethan poet-playwright Christopher Marlowe for the Channel 4 series Hell on Earth; the other (and slightly better-known) Elizabethan poet-playwright, William Shakespeare, in the cinematic drama-documentary Looking for Richard (which both starred and was directed by Al Pacino); Nicholas II, last Tsar of All the Russias, in the music-video From The Beginning, for the Disney animated feature Anastasia; Leonardo da Vinci in The Da Vinci Shroud ~ Revealed (which was first shown on Channel Five in July, 2009, and repeated in March, 2012); and in numerous advertising-campaigns, including those for Microsoft Office, B.T. Phonecards, The British Tourist Authority, The Post Office, Chiltern Railways (shown above, right), Häagen-Dazs, Bombardier Beer, Bonham’s, Boden and Simpson’s of Piccadilly, many of them (also) as Shakespeare. More recently, he was featured extensively in Transport for London's celebration of the London Underground's 150th. Anniversary (early 2013, as shown below); was the voice(s) of Shakespeare, Tolkien and C.S. Lewis for the ‘Quintessentially English’ station-idents for GOD TV (in Summer, 2015); appeared as William Shakespeare in person on the steps of the Globe Theatre, London, in a feature on the 400th. anniversary of the playwright’s death (on the 23rd. of April, 2016), for Channel One News on American television; and, most recently, contributed a café-cameo to ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’, the spectacular new sequel to J.K. Rowling’s ‘Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them’ (itself the prequel to the seven-fold Harry Potter saga), this sequel starring Johnny Depp, Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law ~ at the time the largest cinematic production outside Hollywood, which went on general release on the 16th. of November, 2018. As a model, Maloviere has appeared in innumerable haute-couture fashion-editorials for the Condé Nast Group (including L'Uomo Vogue, Männer Vogue, G.Q. Style, Per Lui, Marie Claire, Brides and Riders magazines), a number of photo-features (for example in The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian, The Observer, The New Yorker and London’s Time Out magazine), and in limited-edition collectors’ catalogues for Japanese designer Monsieur Nicole and London fashion-tailors Social Suicide. He has also been interviewed in his own right for The B.B.C.

As a musician, Maloviere has both performed and recorded with the group Symbiosis, playing violin, balalaika, domra (the Russian mandolin) and a delicate steel-strung dulcimer (also Russian) called a tsimbala: he appears on their relaxation-album Touching the Clouds (on the track ‘Rivers of the Sun’), and on their global-rhythms collection Dancing in Your Dreams (on a tune called ‘Sesamum Seed & Rice’), both of which may be auditioned or downloaded world-wide through iTunes.
