Alexander Samoilenko

Acting is based on belief in something that does not exist, but what could happen to a person, his friends or relatives. Then you have to access the depths of memory. Why an artist becomes a master, a star, grows professionally, Alexander Samoilenko wondered. And he himself found the answer: because there are more and more such "what if".

However, cinema for an actor is a fairy tale, into which Samoylenko plunges every time with his head and gets upset when the time comes to get out of there.

Alexander Samoilenko was born on March 28, 1964 in Tashkent. He grew up in an exemplary family of intellectuals: his father Valery Samoilenko is a respected professor, Doctor of Science, who studied hydrobiology, and his mother worked as a teacher at a local school. From childhood, Alexander was instilled with respect for elders, he obeyed his parents in everything.

The boy grew up as a dreamy and artistic child, attended an acting class and performed on the school stage. Soviet cinema inspired Alexander to become an actor.

After graduating from a comprehensive school, Sasha decided to enter a theater institute. Mother spoke out categorically against the actor in the family, but his father insisted that young Alexander choose a profession himself. Samoilenko went to Moscow and applied to the Shchukin Higher Theater School. Thanks to his innate artistry and participation in the drama circle, the boy's skills and talents were enough to get the approval of the examination committee and enter the acting department.

In 1988, Alexander graduated from college and went to work as an administrator at the Vakhtangov Theater. Two years later, Samoilenko decided to go into business with his friend, actor Maxim Sukhanov.

After the restaurant "Prague" broke the contract for serving the buffet of the theater, friends organized the club "Mayak" on this place. It was a closed institution for theater actors and their friends, which also served as a buffet. Samoilenko and Sukhanov also organized the opening of a cafe at the Central Children's Theater.

The restaurant business flourished, a little later friends opened an art restaurant "Labardance", which was originally planned to turn into an artistic center with a cafe and a theater museum. To the best of their ability, the actors tried to help colleagues: buffets served poor theater workers for free, paid for funerals and fed the students of the Shchukin School.

Alexander Samoilenko began to work in his specialty in 1997, after he was invited to the troupe of the Moscow Stanislavsky Drama Theater. On stage, the actor played Sir Toby from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Baptist from The Taming of the Shrew.

The next time Samoilenko returned to the cinema after 10 years, taking part in the filming of the detective series "Maroseyka, 12", where he was invited by Dmitry Kharatyan.

Once Alexander said that he was tired of cinema and in the coming years there might be a pause in his creative biography, and the proposed scenarios do not make the heart beat with excitement. Apparently, this conclusion did not apply to the paintings "Election Day-2" and "Arrhythmia".

In the first, a comedy with Quartet I, the actor played the head of the governor's administration, who suddenly refuses to be re-elected to the post.

In 2015, the actor also divorced his third wife, who, by the way, was 19 years younger than her husband; Alexander had been married to her for 8 years. In an interview, the actor once said that in his youth he believed that he knew women and was able to calculate in advance the steps of "these unpredictable animals that themselves do not know what they will do the next minute." And now I'm not sure. The state of falling in love is energy-consuming, and it's too lazy to devote oneself to this, Samoilenko ironically said.
