Andrei Smolyakov

Andrey Igorevich Smolyakov is one of the brightest stars of Russian theater and cinema. Moreover, the artist is equally successful and organic both on stage and in front of the TV camera.

The actor does not like to be addressed by his patronymic or asked to tell about himself in a positive way. New roles sometimes upset, "sometimes they offer to play something that could not have been offered."

Andrey Smolyakov was born at the end of November 1958 in the Moscow region, in the city of Podolsk. He grew up as an ordinary boy from an ordinary family. He was brought up by his mother and grandfather. Mom worked as a teacher, and grandfather worked as a firefighter. We lived in a house for fire service workers: on the first floor there was a fire station itself, on the second there were apartments. The prosperity of the small Smolyakov family was very small, but the funds were available to introduce the child to the world of beauty. A couple of times a month, mother and son attended operetta and performances at the Bolshoi Theater.

Andrey studied perfectly and dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon. Moreover, he not only dreamed, but also worked on the embodiment of what was planned. Smolyakov intensively studied the subjects that would be needed at a medical university, and for several years he attended classes in a special circle for young doctors. The guy also loved sports and played volleyball and basketball professionally. In addition, he sang well and performed in a vocal and instrumental ensemble.

Mom and grandfather strongly supported the boy's intentions to become a doctor and were proud of such dedication. Everything turned upside down when the young Smolyakov caught the eye of a newspaper with a note about the recruitment of applicants to one of the theatrical universities. It happened at the very end of the school. Soon Andrei went to Moscow and applied to the Shchukin Theater School.

Andrei studied with pleasure, but after 2.5 years the rector of "Pike" put the question to Smolyakov squarely: either to study further, but stop participating in the performances "at the dubious Tabakov", or leave. The fact is that Andrei was invited by Oleg Pavlovich to try his hand at staging it. The artist really enjoyed working with the director. But at that time, Oleg Tabakov did not yet have "Snuffbox" - only his own course at GITIS. And Andrei in 1978 became a student at Tabakov's workshop.

In addition to Oleg Pavlovich, Smolyakov considers Avant-garde Leontiev and Valery Fokin to be teachers in life, and Jack Nicholson is the quintessence of acting.

Theatrical success came to the actor in his youth. In the same 1978 Andrey made his debut in several performances. The most notable are "Two arrows" and "Goodbye, Mowgli!" Then the aspiring artist felt the taste of fame and success, and the praise of Tabakov himself simply inspired. The master said that such a talent as Smolyakov will find a place in any good theater. Moreover, Andrei does not need to prove anything, he has already taken place in the profession.

In the early 2000s, Andrei brilliantly played in the performances "At the bottom", "Father", "Litsedei" and "Running".

At the end of GITIS, the course of Oleg Tabakov was almost completely sent to Bryansk. Smolyakov stayed in the capital. For several years he played on the stage of the Moscow Gogol Drama Theater and Arkady Raikin's Satyricon. But in 1986, when President Boris Yeltsin gave permission to open the Snuffbox, Smolyakov moved there.

Over the years of work in the theater, Andrei Igorevich has earned many major awards. The Seagull prize and the Moscow Premiere prize were included in his creative collection. Smolyakov became a laureate of the International Foundation. Stanislavsky. In 2004, the actor's talent and hard work were awarded the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation and the State Prize of the Russian Federation.

Andrei Smolyakov's debut in cinema took place even when he was a student in Tabakov's studio. In 1978, the actor played in three films: "The Dawns Kiss", "Father Sergius" and "Close Distance".

It is noteworthy that in the films the actor appeared before the audience in a variety of roles, in each role he was very organic and convincing. Smolyakov looked great as a goodie. The tall (the actor's height is 182 cm), blond with an open face looked like a classic character of a Russian epic or fairy tale and aroused the confidence of the viewer.

At the beginning of his cinematic career, he starred only in this capacity ("Father and Son", "Andrew and the Evil Sorcerer"). But later he appeared in the form of a villain ("The Recruiter").

In the mid-1990s, Andrei appeared in almost every popular multi-part film at least once a year. The audience fell in love with the films "Zhurov", "Lost the Sun", "Birthday of the Bourgeois". The last series brought Smolyakov to the pinnacle of fame and recognition. He very convincingly played the villain Vladimir Kudlu, pursuing the main character - businessman Vladimir Kovalev, whose role went to Valery Nikolaev.

The actor called this character a breath of fresh air after positive and "sugar" images, which by that time had gone to dozens in his filmography.

Success awaited Smolyakov's next film work. In 2005, he played Lieutenant Colonel Topilin, a man who takes revenge on a doctor for the death of his wife due to a medical error. This is a drama by Yegor Konchalovsky called "Escape". The role of the surgeon was performed by Evgeny Mironov.

In the action movie "Antikiller 2" Andrey joined Alexey Serebryakov, Gosha Kutsenko and Alexey Buldakov. The dramatic tapes were diluted with the fabulous project "The Legend of Kashchey, or In Search of the Thirtieth Kingdom", in which Smolyakov reincarnated as the father of the young Koshchey the Immortal.

In 2012, Andrey got the main role in the MosGaz TV series, which became one of the most significant pages in his biography.

The image of Major Cherkasov turned out to be consistent for several TV series filmed in subsequent years. The leading roles in the film were played by Marina Aleksandrova, who also embodied the cross-cutting character on the screen, Maxim Matveev, Ekaterina Klimova, Agniya Kuznetsova and Svetlana Khodchenkova.

2013 brought the actor one of his most striking works - the painting "Stalingrad". The next year Smolyakov took part in the international film Viy, which was worked on not only in Russia, but also in Germany, Czech Republic, Great Britain and Ukraine.

In 2014, the actor returned to the role of Cherkasov in the new series "Executioner". In the center of the plot, as in the first part of the cycle, there was an unusual detective story. The key roles in this film went to Victoria Tolstoganova and Yulia Peresild. In addition to Smolyakov, the series starred the actors who played the policemen in Mosgaz - Marina Aleksandrova, Aleksey Bardukov, Yuri Tarasov. The cast was joined by Maria Andreeva, who played a journalist, who also moved on to the next parts of the project. In parallel with filming in the series, the actor played the main roles in 4 more films - "Gregory R.", "The Inquisitor", "The Godfather" and "Champions".

In 2015, a sequel to the story of Major Cherkasov and his investigations was released - the Spider series.

In March 2015, Smolyakov became a guest of the author's program "Posner", where he pondered over difficult questions, such as whether serials should be considered art and how patriotic education should take place. The actor expressed his opinion about Grigory Rasputin, a complex historical figure and the main character of the film "Grigory R.", in which he recently took part.

The series "Jackal" continued the cycle of pictures about the Cherkasov's task force. This time, 2 departments of the Soviet militia - the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the UBKHS - are forced to work together on the case. The images of the bandits in the new history went to the young but already popular actors Alexandra Bortich, Pavel Chinarev, Sergei Belov and Andrei Feskov.

In the Russian historical blockbuster "Viking" Andrey played the role of the Polotsk prince Rogvold. The film drew mixed reviews from critics, but fully paid off at the box office and entered the international market, where it also had some success.

The character of the artist in the TV series "Another's Daughter" helped the hero of Igor Petrenko to find his daughter, who ended up in a foster family.

In 2017, the premiere of the sports film "Moving Up" took place, in which the head of the Soviet Basketball Federation became the character of Smolyakov. The psychological drama "Crime" with the participation of the actor told about how the investigation of the girl's murder affected the fate of the parents, detectives and even the city election campaign.

Together with Elena Yakovleva, Andrei starred with Karen Oganesyan in the satirical comedy Milk, with Paulina Andreeva in a humorous film about how the artist's life differs from a beautiful picture on the screen.

The personal life of Andrei Smolyakov was not quite smooth. The first wife of the artist was the soloist of the Bolshoi Theater - ballerina Svetlana Ivanova. The family union broke up after 20 years.

The only son Dmitry was born in marriage. The young man did not follow the path of acting, although Andrei from an early age saw in him the makings of an artist. Smolyakov Jr. almost graduated from the University of Radio Electronics and Automation. But in the 5th year, his father's genes apparently showed themselves, and the guy realized that this was not his way. He trained as a producer at the Moscow Art Theater School. Among Dmitry's projects are the films Kurkul with Alexei Kravchenko, the spy series The Embassy with Igor Livanov, the drama Winners with Nikita Panfilov and Anna Chipovskaya.

Now Andrei Smolyakov lives in a civil marriage with fashion designer Daria Razumikhina. The wife speaks 4 foreign languages, worked on television in France and Spain, was the first Russian couturier to participate in European Fashion Weeks, and defended her Ph.D. thesis in philology. From the first husband, the woman left 2 children - daughter Taisiya and son Stepan.

The couple does not think about the presence of a stamp in the passport. There is no need for two adults to inform the state about their relationship, according to the actor, it already knows everything. There is complete mutual understanding in the family, no one disputes the primacy.

Andrey, by his own admission, can go for months without a book or work, but sport, moreover, mobile, is always present. Smolyakov plays tennis and volleyball.

The actor does not like social networks, however, Andrey's photos are regularly published in the fans' accounts on Instagram, and there is a fan page on Facebook.

Today, there are more than a hundred paintings and TV series, where Smolyakov played. As new projects show, neither a huge track record nor age prevents Andrey Igorevich from continuing to work.

In 2018, the debut directorial project of Danila Kozlovsky "Trainer" was presented to the audience. The director took on the main role of the striker of the Russian national football team, and entrusted the image of his father to Smolyakov. Among the performers were professional footballers Dmitry Sychev and Alan Gatagov.

On Victory Day, the NTV channel released the war drama Ax. The film is based on the real events of World War II and tells about a former White Guard who escaped from the camp and was hiding in the taiga. Having learned about the beginning of the war, the hermit goes to the front. Trying to withdraw the detachment from the encirclement, he engages in battle with several dozen fascists. Andrey starred as a brave hero.

The premiere of the Russian-French thriller Zavod took place at the Toronto Film Festival. Smolyakov in the picture acted in the form of the owner of an enterprise that is deliberately brought to bankruptcy.

In the fall of 2018, a continuation of the story about the brave Major Cherkasov, entitled "Operation Satan", was published. In the 5th season of the series, the main character moves to the position of a private district police officer. New responsibilities to a person accustomed to solving high-profile crimes seem boring. But a murder of a ritual nature takes place, and a rumor about a maniac spreads around the city. For help in the investigation, they turn to the only one who is able to sort out such a complicated case - Ivan Cherkasov.

Andrey Smolyakov starred in the leading role in the fantastic drama "The Alien" about an astronaut stuck on an alien planet. The script of the film partially overlaps with Ridley Scott's Hollywood blockbuster The Martian.

In the crime thriller "Dead Lake" we are talking about murder again. The cast, in addition to Smolyakov, included Pavel Tabakov, Evgeny Tsyganov, Polina and Ksenia Kutepov.
