Andrey Sharkov Biography

Gribkova E. serves in the Great Drama Theater. Tovstonogov in St. Petersburg. You probably don't have a single ill -wisher? What flew into the tongue, I do not keep in myself, I express. I just treat work with all seriousness, and there are things that I can’t stand it to the spirit ... I can not endure bad artists. I understand that I have no right to do so, but I usually say to their eyes about their abilities.

And in my life I am quite flexible, but stubborn, like all Capricorns. When did you set yourself the goal of becoming an artist? I loved to be in the spotlight, I liked to produce an effect, hit the audience’s imagination with some strokes, stories, jokes ... So I was always talkative and companion. But my parents dad, Anatoly Afanasevich, military doctor; Mom, Zoya Ivanovna, a tooth doctor hoped that I would go in their footsteps.

Father, an entomologist, all my life was engaged in blood -sucking biases, I remember, led me a little into the forest, undressed me there, so that I served as a mosquito bait, catch them on me and hide them in a test tube. So I was a victim of science smiles. And for a long time, I must admit, he was also not indifferent to medicine, was not afraid of blood and was very fond of all living things - from dogs to worms ...

Apparently, in my case, a mother’s genetics appeared, which became a doctor at the end of the war only because of the lack of money, but in fact she graduated from the theater university in the vocal class. I also have a younger sister, she is a teacher by education and at the moment a housewife. Only in this city I wanted to live, and not in Moscow, like the majority. But my path here was a thorny.

There I was more fortunate, I was accepted, but a year later I was kicked out for missing classes and a sharp tongue. Naturally, this was another drop in the cup of displeasure of the teaching staff. Without wasting time, I immediately went to Nizhny Novgorod, where I immediately entered the second year of the theater university, which this time already safely finished. After the institute, he lived in Riga for some time, in the room that stayed from his mother, could not get into the theater, so he was in poverty, even happened, went into the dining room and fucked up the scarries from the tables ...

But the active theatrical life soon began. I changed eleven theaters in various cities of Russia and, finally, ended up in the BDT. To enter the troupe of this famous theater was also my youthful dream, along with a dream of living in St. Petersburg. I did not quarrel with the team and I did not have a shortage in my roles. True, I never played big roles, they did not put performances on me, as, indeed, they did not write scripts for films.

But this is not scary. There are heroes-lover, and I have another niche-the hero’s best friend. Because there are roles that I would like to play. It seems to me that I am a wonderful comedian, and my abilities are not used. In the acting profession, as in life, everything is good in due time. An elderly actress will not be delighted with Juliet that unexpectedly falling on her lot.

I also understand that even if I acquire my young, slender appearance, but I will remain the same as now, I still will not pull the same Khlestakov. I can’t run like that anymore ...-Having got into the troupe of the legendary Tovstonogovsky Theater, did you find that some special atmosphere reigns here? It was honestly showed as much as three times and was eventually accepted.

There was no doubt that it was in this team that the best, not even actors, but the people of the country were gathered. Some names are-Lebedev, Strjelchik, Kuznetsov, Popov, called-Sokolov ... But very soon I saw that the backstage life here is the same as in any other theater, with its intrigues, anger and envy of a more successful colleague. In the BDT for years a built, strict hierarchical system.

Surprisingly, the spirit of the Soviet time has been preserved in it, and in its pure form. Until the upper star will go out, no one will rise from below, and this must be perceived for granted. All places are clearly distributed here. You imagine that even on solemn banquets invited spouses of artists are not sitting nearby, if he is a well-deserved, but she is not. They will have invitations to different halls.

In general, I understood everything about the established structure of the theater already on the first day of entering the troupe. There was a anniversary of Basilashvili, in the morning I rehearsed the cabbage along with everyone, and in the evening, actually coming to the celebration itself, I did not find my surname in the lists of artists on the stage on the rank - ahead of the people, followed by well -deserved and then all the others.

I remember I was shocked. But maybe the fact is that I am very skeptical of myself ... In general, I don’t plan to move, it is already psychologically difficult, but I really want to play something significant in some Moscow theater in my fifty year, which will be a year later. It seems to me that today I am worthy. And I also want to teach. I feel that I have something to say to the young guys.

Here is Victor, and there was still Zhenya Dvorzhetsky, my friend in youth. His mother taught us at the Institute in Nizhny Novgorod, and Zhenya often came to us.We had a fun company then ... Today my friends are mostly not actors. I am faster. But the vocabulary is completely mine. I am close to such a speech, and sometimes even manages to come up with some flying phrases ...-TV shows-this, of course, is a guaranteed piece of bread.

Do they offer to act in full meter? For some reason, it often happened that Moscow did not affirm my tests. I don’t know what the reason is. Although, I will reveal you a secret, my third dream has not yet come true. I really want to star from Nikita Mikhalkov, even in a tiny episode. In the meantime, I work in the series. I play an old Jewish Jew there.

And I also have a fairly large role in the German film of a serial type, which has been demonstrated on central German television for fourteen years, but only twice a year. Their representatives came to Petersburg and chose me. In French, I can explain a little more, I understand the Dutch well, because I adore Amsterdam and I often go there. Did the girls liked you?

Somehow I did not have a chance to experience special female attention, interest in my person. And the fact that I do not cause delight among the ladies gave me a lot of complexes. So I'm far from Donjuan. But to get involved in talented people tend to me. Even in my future wife, a fellow student Tatyana Kapitonova, first fell in love with a woman, but as in the most capable artist who gives great hopes.

Here is such a terrible character. It was a joke, as you know. Tanya is my gift of fate, I can’t imagine life without her, although, it happens, I get tired of daily communication and go on vacation alone. She is wise and does not mind. And today it’s too late ... Of course, Tanya really wanted children, she would be a wonderful mother ... But, as you know, history does not tolerate a subjunctive mood.

And before I did not like children, they even annoyed me. A few years ago, at some of my birthday, I even involuntarily noticed that I invited only childless friends to visit. Moreover, he did it at an unconscious level ... But five years ago, a child still entered our life with his wife. Our acquaintances had a baby, and somehow we got into his soul.

There is no favorite to a person for me now. I am ready to do everything for him literally, I’m calling him constantly ... I even have thoughts that I will leave him a lot ... I want him to remember about me later. With age, there is a need for a person who would come to the grave with flowers ... - Listen, you still think about it early, better tell us what you are in everyday life?

When we had repairs, I generally tried to evaporate and appeared, already when all the work was completed. So I never picked up a hammer if you ask about it, and I love comfort already created. But at the same time I do not understand artists who do not think of themselves outside the profession. I certainly would not disappear, although I can do little to do with my hands.

Now, if only prepared. I am a notorious gourmet. Apparently, I make the impression of a wealthy person, because in the theater they often ask me for a loan. And I always give loan, remembering that the actors of the old guard, of which I was lucky to catch, never refused such help from young people. It’s just that I am unusually comfortable here, as if I were sitting in a warm blanket, when it is raining outside the window, and I enjoy the fact that I have gingerbread cookies with buns and a samovar boils ...

Maybe this is a kind of masochism, but I like the freezing, the dreary of St. Petersburg, I personally feel pleasure from all this. Once, on the stairs in the transition of a grandfather with huge strokes, seeing me, he turned around, began to greet and fell down. I had to collect the contents of his bags and lead him to the emergency room, and on the road about the cinema we no longer said ...

There are comical stories. So, recently, on tour in Novosibirsk, in the local market, one granny took me aside and with a conspiratorial whisper told me that I was extremely similar to one famous artist. And it didn’t even occur to her that I could be them. To which I answered him that this could not be, since I work in the morgue.
