Alexey was born in Moscow 3 years after the end of World War II. The family in which Zharkov lived was large - they all huddled in one room of a communal apartment. Nevertheless, the parents tried to ensure that the children developed comprehensively. For example, Alexey visited an art studio, and when his father noticed that the boy had cut out an accordion from plywood and drew keys on it, he managed to find funds and buy him a real instrument.

The first fame came to the actor after the release of the melodrama "We were not married in a church", the military drama "Torpedo Bombers" and the dramatic film "My friend Ivan Lapshin" that followed. In subsequent years, Zharkov starred in the biographical film Ivan Babushkin, the musical Was Was Not, the historical drama The Life of Klim Samgin, the comedy The Lady with the Parrot.

But the film adaptation of the detective Agatha Christie "Ten Little Indians", the action-packed serial film "Prisoner of the If Castle" and the social drama "Criminal Talent" brought him all-Union fame. In the 90s, unlike many colleagues who had to look for work outside the cinema, Alexey Zharkov remained in demand. From the paintings of this period, it is worth highlighting the historical film "Kremlin secrets of the sixteenth century", the comedy "Do not wake the sleeping dog", the war drama "The General" and the tragedy "Stalin's Testament".

Also during this period, the actor starred in the international project "The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of the Soldier Ivan Chonkin", which, in addition to Russia, was filmed by Italy, Great Britain, France and the Czech Republic.

In Russian films, the artist regularly received leading roles. Zharkov played the role of civil aviation aircraft maintenance inspector Philip Mikhailovich in the crime comedy Waltz of the Golden Calves and a member of the Mehlis military council in the military drama The General.

Interest in the person of Zharkov did not fade away almost until the very end of his life.

Recently, the actor Alexei Zharkov was sick a lot. In 2012, he had his first stroke, after which the man was even paralyzed. But, moving away from the disease, he continued to act in films and enter the theater stage.

From a city apartment, the actor moved to a dacha near Moscow, where peace and quiet better corresponded to his attitude. In March 2016, a new heart attack occurred, which later became the cause of the death of the actor. Zharkov was hospitalized and spent more than a month in a hospital bed.
