Aleksandr Zhigalkin

Russian Alexander Zhigalkin is a well-known personality in the film industry. The television series he has shot are popular with the people, and the roles played in the theater and shows make even the most tired spectators smile. He also writes scripts, dubs cartoons and trains young actors at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts (GITIS).

Alexander Alexandrovich Zhigalkin was born on February 1, 1968 in Moscow. The creative biography of the actor began in 1983, when the teenager appeared in the role of a ninth-grader in the film-play directed by Yuri Krotenko "The weather is good in the city." He received his professional education in the group of Yuri Ashvarov at the acting department of the Boris Shchukin Higher Theater School, which he graduated in 1992.

As a student, he played not only in educational productions at the Yevgeny Vakhtangov Theater, but also voiced the French cartoon Pif and Hercules in 1982 for distribution in the Soviet Union. Together with fellow students Eduard Radzyukevich and Viktor Bakin, the graduate organizes the Academic Monkey Theater, which is especially successful in comedy performances.

In the 90s, the young actor starred a lot in small roles. At almost the same time, Pyotr Todorovsky's film Anchor, Another Encore! Which has collected a collection of film awards, Vsevolod Shilovsky's action-packed detective Code of dishonor and Vladislav Chebotarev's musical film The Italian Contract were released. Zhigalkin dubs the videos, which are shown by the popular TV program "My own director".

After such a transfer, you really need to become a director. The first directorial work was the sketch show "Dear Program", released in 2004 on the Ren-TV channel. In 2005, the entire project team moved to STS, where the program became known as 6 Personnel. In 2011, for his work on this show, Alexander Zhigalkin received the TEFI award in the nomination “Television program director”.

The filmography of the director Zhigalkin includes mainly comedy series, the most popular of which are "The Voronins" and "Daddy's Daughters". Less well known are the adventures of the role-swapping twins in Swapping Brothers. In these tapes, director Zhigalkin can also be seen as an actor. In "Daddy's Daughters" he plays San Sanych, director of the radio "Active". Almost the entire team of "6 frames" was filmed with him.

In "Voronins" the character of Zhigalkin is called more respectfully - he is Alexander Alexandrovich, the new boss of Kostya. The show was a Russian adaptation of an American sitcom for its first ten seasons, but from season 11 onwards, the television family took on a life of their own. The series has been released since 2009, and all this time Alexander Zhigalkin remains the main director of the adventures of a large and cheerful family.

In 2017, after the 455th episode of the Voronins, 25 minutes long, was filmed, the film crew received a diploma stating that the result of their work entered the Guinness Book of Records as the longest adapted television project in world television. The Guinness Book of Records referee Richard Stenning specially came to the set and presented Alexander Zhigalkin with a certificate confirming this achievement.

Alexander chose colleagues as his wife three times. The actor entered into his first marriage with Daria Poverennova while still a third-year student at the Shchukin Theater School. Daria studied there, but a year younger. The couple lived together for 10 years, but divorced. In the first marriage, on August 15, 1992, daughter Polina was born. She chose the profession of a journalist, graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University and works in a large PR agency.

In a second marriage with producer Ekaterina Zhigalkina, daughter Anastasia was born in 2001. Nastya studies at a Moscow Lyceum, graduated from a music school and is thinking about an acting career. The third wife of Alexander Zhigalkin was also a graduate of the Shchukin school Svetlana Antonova. By the time they met, both future spouses were free. Svetlana raised her daughter Maria, born in 2004.

Six-year-old Masha, according to her mother, put a decisive end to the long period of courtship, inviting Alexander to stay with them. In the third marriage, in 2012, a daughter, Taisiya, was born, and on April 8, 2016, a son, Arseny. The couple solemnly celebrated the wedding only in 2013, when Taisia ​​was one year old. The father of the family built a country house, where everyone is happy to leave for the summer from noisy Moscow.

Photos on Instagram eloquently tell about Alexander's personal life. On the microblog, you can see all four adorable daughters together, a baby playing with dad with enthusiasm, and many other warm moments from family life. The main thing is not to confuse photos from real life and from the set of TV series. The experience of raising children came in handy for the director when working with the young actresses of Daddy's Daughters.

In 2018, Alexander Alexandrovich celebrated his 50th anniversary. He celebrated modestly: together with his family and friends he sat in the restaurant of the Central House of Actor, accepted congratulations from colleagues. The round date attracted the attention of journalists who asked the hero of the day about his personal life and creative plans. Zhigalkin said that he is still full of energy, new ideas and is constantly busy in new and old projects.

In 2018, comedy lovers will see Zhigalkin's new directorial work - a television series from the life of Russian mafiosi called Force Majeure. As in the adventures of brothers, who changed roles, viewers will see an intelligent quiet doctor, forced to play the role of a "thief in law" by the will of fate. Based on the favorite TV series "Voronins" and "Daddy's Daughters", it is planned to shoot full-length films. The premiere of the full-length Daddy's Daughters is scheduled for 2018.
