After a 2-year stint at the McDonnell Douglas aerospace company, Krutonog took up acting full time and was accepted to The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. A year later, together with a friend and a playwright Stephen Romagnoli, Krutonog launched a theater company in NY’s East Village, where Romagnoli wrote and directed the plays, and Krutonog produced and starred in them. Their collaboration “Stealing Heaven“ had a successful run at the Off-Broadway’s Samuel Beckett theater, which Krutonog produced under the pseudonym Sirob Gonoturk (Krutonog in reverse).[6]

Krutonog served as Co-Executive Producer on the series for 8 years[8] and was the best man at Dog and Beth Chapman’s wedding.[9][10][11]
In 1998 Krutonog co-wrote a feature film titled 'Alexander the Great' with Tom Epperson about the Russian Mob in LA, where the lead character thinks he is actually Alexander the Great. The script had been optioned numerous times and is currently in development with Roger Donaldson attached to direct.[12]
In 2000 Krutonog and Dmitry Netkach launched a Cosmonaut Training Camp in Star City, Russia, where American space enthusiasts trained alongside real astronauts and cosmonauts. They performed zero-gravity endurance flights, underwater weightlessness simulation exercises, endured centrifuge’s G-forces, etc.[13]
In June 2003, Krutonog filmed the capture of bail jumper and wanted serial rapist Andrew Luster by Dog the Bounty Hunter and his crew in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.[14] Krutonog, the bounty hunters and Luster were all arrested and spent 6 days in Mexican jails. Dog The Bounty Hunter TV Series was launched shortly thereafter.[15] That same year Krutonog also starred in “Spinning Boris”, where his character Braynin helped steer President Boris Yeltsin’s 1996 bid for re-election.[16]
