Stanislav Carpiuc, 26, who lives in Romford, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court this morning.
MailOnline can reveal that Carpiuc is an aspiring actor and model. In a video on his website he says he is loving east London life and walking his dog in his local park.
He also wrote: ‘My name Stanislav. I started my modeling career quite recently’ and added he wants to be the ‘top male model in the world’.
He is accused of conspiring with Ukrainian Roman Lavrynovych and was today charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life in connection with the fires.

Two of the fires took place in Kentish Town, one on May 12 at the home where Sir Keir lived before he became Prime Minister.
A car was set alight in the same street four days earlier.
The third fire was on May 11 at the front door of a house converted into flats in Islington.
The defendant, flanked by two police officers in the dock, spoke via a Russian interpreter to confirm his name and date of birth.
Prosecutor Sarah Przybylska said: ‘At this stage, the alleged offending is unexplained.’
Carpiuc, who wore a blue adidas hoodie and grey tracksuit bottoms in the dock, was arrested at Luton Airport on Saturday.
The court heard Carpiuc, who was born in Ukraine, gave a no comment interview to police.
Defending, Jay Nutkins said that Carpiuc has lived in the UK for nine years, and is currently waiting for his degree results having spent two years studying a business degree at Canterbury Christchurch University in Kent.
He denies being present at the scene of any of the fires, the court was told.
The court heard the 26-year-old, who was supported by his father in court, works in construction.
Roman Lavrynovych, 21, from Sydenham in south London, was in court on Friday.
Chief magistrates Paul Goldspring remanded Carpiuc in custody until a further hearing at the Old Bailey alongside Lavrynovych on June 6.
A 34-year-old was arrested on Monday, 19 May, in the Chelsea area, SW3, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.
He remains in police custody.

Roman Lavrynovych bought fuel from B&Q days before carrying out three attacks, Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard on Friday,
He is accused of setting the Prime Minister’s £2million north London property alight in the early hours of Monday after torching a car and another property he had previously owned.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard that the defendant, who works in construction as a roofer, had gone shopping in the DIY store for ‘accelerant material’ on May 6 and 8.
Shortly after, he allegedly set alight a car previously owned by the Prime Minister which was parked outside Sir Keir’s family home. Four days later on May 12, Lavrynovych is said to have travelled on public transport to the Prime Minister’s private family home, which is currently rented out to his sister-in-law while he lives at Downing Street.
Around 1am a blaze was started damaging the porch of the property, but the occupants were unharmed after firefighters stopped the flames spreading.

Prosecutor Sarah Przybylska said the allegation was that the labourer used a ‘slow burning accelerant’ to also set fire to a flat in Islington which the Labour leader used to own in the 1990s, damaging a front door.
Detectives have not been able to establish any motive for the attacks, with Ms Przybylska saying: ‘At this stage, the alleged offending is unexplained.’
The defendant showed no emotion as the three charges of arson with intent to endanger life were read out.
He spoke only to confirm his name and address. No formal pleas were entered to the three charges, but the court was told that the defendant denies all the charges.
Lavrynovych was remanded in custody ahead of the next hearing at the Old Bailey on June 6.
