Russian/Ukrainian TV is like the UK one then. The actors are average people - not supermodels and not Schwarzeneggers, as you can see

As I said it above, the Ukrainians are ethic Russians. Before the USSR they were caller Malorussians (can be translated as "low Russians"). There also were Belorussians ("white Russians") and Velikorussians ("great Russians"). They were separated to 3 different Soviet republics by the commies. However, in fact all these people belong to the same ethnic group. So they can not look different.
