This decision turned out to be decisive in the career of the future actor. Soon enough, Ustyugov moved from the illuminators to the acting troupe of the theater, played in various performances, and then tried himself in directing, staging the play "These free butterflies". Later in the theatrical director's career of the artist there will be such famous works as "The Dawns Here Are Quiet ..." and "Bonobo".

Alexander Ustyugov decides to become a professional actor. To do this, he enters the Omsk Regional College of Culture and Art for the course of Vladimir Rubanov, after which he leaves for Moscow and achieves the right to study at the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute with the artistic director Rodion Ovchinnikov.

The certified actor makes a good impression on the leaders of the Russian Academic Youth Theater, he is included in the troupe. Within the walls of the theater, Alexander Ustyugov played many roles, the most striking of which was the main character of the fairy tale by Evgeny Schwartz "Shadow". For his performance as the Shadow, the artist received the prestigious Chaika and Moscow Debuts awards. Another star performance was the play based on Dostoevsky's drama The Idiot, for which the actor was re-awarded the Seagull Prize.

Alexander got into the cinema in 2002, performing minor roles in three serials at once - "Lord of the Air", "Code of Honor", "Operation Color of the Nation". But success came to him 2 years later, when the crime series “Cop Wars” was launched on TV screens.

The film tells about the life of employees of the murder department of the criminal investigation department of St. Petersburg under the leadership of Roman Shilov, whose role is played by Ustyugov. Against the background of a large number of films of a similar theme, the actor managed to create an image of a policeman, which differs from others and looks realistic on the screen.

Alexander, preparing for filming, went to real police stations, watched the work of employees, as well as such nuances as gait, the way to hold the telephone, the manner of smoking. Since 2004, 11 seasons of the serial film "Cop Wars" have been released. The cast also included Alexey Zavyalov, Marina Ignatova.

In 2005, with Ustyugov's participation on Channel One, the show of the series "Adjutants of Love" started, where he played the character of Platon Platonovich Tolstoy, a friend of Mikhail Lugin (Pavel Barshak) and Pyotr Cherkasov (Nikita Panfilov), in love with Varvara Lanskaya (Maria Kozlova).

A year later, Ustyugov got the main role in the comedy "Petya the Magnificent" and appeared in an episode of the action movie "Countdown" with Andrei Merzlikin, Leonid Yarmolnik, Oksana Akinshina and Maxim Sukhanov in the lead roles.

Another significant role in the filmography of Alexander Ustyugov was the famous character Evgeny Bazarov in the adaptation of the classic novel by Turgenev "Fathers and Sons" by Avdotya Smirnova. The creators of the picture initially considered the actor as the main contender for this role, since they wanted to choose such a performer who, in terms of his inner qualities, would correspond to the main character of the film. The second main character of the novel, Arkady Kirsanov, was played by Alexander Ratnikov, the star of the feature film "Okolofutbola".

Since 2011, directors have offered Alexander Ustyugov exclusively leading roles in military and crime films, detective stories and melodramas: "Sorrows-Joy of Hope", "Snipers. Love at gunpoint, "Greetings from Katyusha", "Leave to stay."

In 2014 Nikita Mikhalkov completed work on the "Sunstroke" project, where Ustyugov appeared as a naval officer. The main characters of the drama, the adaptation of Ivan Bunin's story "Cursed Days", were played by Martins Kalita, Avangard Leontyev, Alexander Adabashyan. The film grossed $ 1.8 million.

In the fall of 2015, the show of the series "Plague" began, where Alexander Ustyugov had a pronounced negative role of the bandit Mikhail Tabakov, nicknamed Tabak. But the actor here, too, approached the character in a non-trivial way and managed to show the criminal not from the point of view of his atrocities.

The artist, having found the inner reason for such an attitude to life, tried to evoke the viewer's desire, if not to justify, then at least to understand this person. It is interesting that in this picture Ustyugov is not only filming, but also filming, since the main director of the film, Alexei Kozlov, invited him to work as a second production director.

In addition to The Plague, Ustyugov directed the television series State Defense (2010), as well as the film I Serve the Soviet Union (2012), based on the novel Lunch with the Devil by Leonid Menaker, about the rebuff of Soviet prisoners to the Nazi invaders. In the second directorial work of Ustyugov, the main characters Mikhail Dontsov and Taisiya Meshcherskaya were played by Maxim Averin and Nonna Grishaeva. The film, shown on the air of the NTV channel, provoked numerous public protests as a pseudo-historical libel.

Panfilov, who fell in battle at the Dubosekovo junction, destroying 18 German tanks. Ustyugov got the role of private Ivan Moskalenko.

The film grossed $ 6 million at the box office. In the same year, work was completed on the film "Viking" with Danila Kozlovsky in the title role, as well as the action movie "Golden Transit". In both projects, Alexander Ustyugov was included in the secondary cast.

The actor got the main role in the melodrama "Ray", as well as in the fantastic film about robots "Better than people", where Paulina Andreeva became Ustyugov's partner on the working site.

Alexander tried to enter a music school as a child, but to no avail. At the age of 14, the guy got a guitar, and he began to educate himself, play in front of friends. The idea to create your own team was born back then. In his youth, his hobbies were rock and roll and Russian rock. It was a period of protest against the alleged imprisonment: Alexander grew his hair, wore an earring in his ear, his wardrobe consisted of black leather jackets and leather trousers. Favorite musical groups of the artist were "Alice", "DDT", "Kino".

In 2015, Alexander Ustyugov managed to found a musical group. The band got the name "Ekibastuz" in honor of the frontman's hometown. The first solo performance of the musical group took place in November 2015 in the St. Petersburg club "Cosmonaut" and was a great success.

The repertoire of the Ekibastuz group includes more than a dozen soulful songs on the most important themes in the life of every person - honor, duty, war, love, homeland and others. The group still gathers full halls. In May 2019, "Ekibastuz" performed on the same stage at a gala concert together with Dmitry Bykovsky's musical group "Old Friends". It is interesting that the artists starred together in the "Cop Wars".

While studying at the Shchukin Theater Institute, Alexander Ustyugov met a classmate Yanina Sokolovskaya, whom he married a few years later. At first, the young family settled with Yana's parents, but after 2 months, the native of Kazakhstan decided to give his young wife a test of strength, moving with her to the hostel. The girl managed to adapt to the new living conditions, and the couple soon moved to their own home.

In 2007, a daughter, Evgenia, was born in the family. By this time, a 3-storey house was rebuilt, in which Yana and Alexander settled with their wife's parents. Often, their colleagues with children - Olga Lomonosova with Pavel Safonov and Petr Krasilov with Irina Shebeko - visited the acting couple.
