Andrej Merzlikin

Andrey Merzlikin is gladly invited to projects by Nikita Mikhalkov and Pyotr Buslov, Valery Todorovsky, Fyodor Bondarchuk and Nikolai Dostal. But few fans of the actor know that their favorite was not at all eager to become an actor and in his youth dreamed of another profession.

The fact that there are theater institutes, Andrey was told by friends from the Ivanteevskaya group. Outside are the dashing 90s, and every city was stuffed with such guys with an impeccable reputation. Merzlikin did not believe it, but went to Moscow and, as he later said, “fainted”. For the sake of experiment, I applied to 5 theater universities at once.

Andrey Ilyich Merzlikin was born in Korolev near Moscow in March 1973. The boy grew up in a strong and friendly family. Andrey's father is a professional driver, and his mother worked as an accountant. A few years after the birth of the future star of Russian cinema, his parents gave him his sister Lena. Ilya and Nina Merzlikin, the actor's parents, tried to devote a lot of time to raising children.

As a teenager, Andrei dreamed of being in space. The young man seriously thought to improve his physical data (the actor's height is 181 cm), to take the necessary training course in order to comply with the rules for recruiting candidates for astronauts. Therefore, after the end of the eight-year period, the guy entered the local technical school of space engineering. But by the time he graduated from this educational institution, Merzlikin had matured and changed his mind to surf the galaxy. Having received the qualification "radio technician", he went to study further.

In 1996, Andrey Merzlikin was awarded a red diploma from the capital's academy of the sphere of everyday life and services. Nevertheless, he was not going to give preference to the organization of production and management, because at the time of graduation, the young man had already studied at the famous VGIK.

The Boomer star has never been an exemplary student. Andrei repeatedly got into trouble and adventures, as a result, the young man was still expelled from VGIK. But Merzlikin could no longer imagine life without a stage, so he returned to the institute, enrolling in a paid department. In 1998, the young artist was awarded another honors degree.

Andrey Merzlikin's cinematic biography began with the short film How I Spent My Summer by Natalia Pogonicheva, which was released in 1999. For this work, the aspiring actor received the first award at the VGIK International Student Festival.

After graduating from the theater institute, the aspiring actor worked for some time in the international theater project of Ivan Popovski "Hotel" Europe ", visited the largest European theater festivals in Vienna, Avignon, Stockholm and Bologna.

However, it cannot be said that Andrey Merzlikin's career was developing brilliantly. For 10 years, the artist played on the stage of the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Here the actor perfected his skills every day and tried his hand at creating diverse images. Theatergoers appreciated the artist's performance in the productions of The Marriage of Figaro, Three Sisters, The Inspector General and The Powder Keg. But the ambitious artist was hardly satisfied with his work. Most of the proposed roles were secondary. The actor was invited to take part in the filming, but even here the roles of Merzlikin can hardly be called bright and memorable.

Andrey appeared in the films Ailoster, Finale, Why Do You Love Me ?, Love in Russian, Truckers and Old Nags. Surely in these pictures none of the viewers will remember Merzlikin.

A breakthrough in his creative biography happened in 2003, when director Pyotr Buslov invited the artist to the Boomer project, suggesting the role of Dimon Oshparenny. This picture became cult, and the artists who participated in the tape gained phenomenal popularity and All-Russian glory. Participation in "Boomer" allowed Andrey to become one of the most popular actors in the country. In 2006, Buslov shot the sequel to the drama "Boomer-2", in which Merzlikin again played the main character.

In the filmography of the actor appeared roles in the sensational films "Burnt by the Sun-2", "Swing", "Two" and "Family House". Later, the paintings "Brest Fortress" and "Boris Godunov" will be released, which will become successful for Andrey. For his work in the first, Merzlikin received an award from the FSB, and for his role in a historical project, the actor was awarded the prestigious Nika award. In the future, the artist will become famous thanks to his participation in the series.

In 2011, Andrei Merzlikin tried his hand at a different role as a director. In 2012, he presented his own work - a short film "GQ".

Film critics and directors claim that Andrei Merzlikin is now universal, one of the best dramatic artists. He easily transforms into both negative and positive characters, does not confine himself to strict genres, and also conveys characters on the screen in an unconventional manner. Fans of melodramas appreciated the skill of the actor in the films "Swing" and "Treason", where Andrey brilliantly played in tandem with Maria Mironova.

The artist's fans are happy to watch new projects in which Merzlikin participates. The films Chkalov, Ladoga, Pyotr Leshchenko. Everything that was ... "," Rodina "and" Leningrad 46 ".

In 2015, the action-packed drama "The Teacher" was released, in which the artist played the special forces colonel Kadyshev, who was leading the operation to rescue schoolchildren. According to the script, Kadyshev is a former student of the teacher who took the graduates hostage. As it turned out, Andrei Merzlikin also studied at the school where the film was shot.

The author of "Closed School" Oleg Asadulin gave Merzlikin a full-fledged leading role in the drama "Green Carriage" about what people have to sacrifice in order to comply with the rules adopted in the film industry. The main character is a fanatic of the profession, so talented that he is nominated for an Oscar, but who paid for the success with the life of his loved ones. Victoria Isakova and Anna Chipovskaya played the role of wife and mistress. The music for the film was written by Evgeny Rudin (DJ Groove).

The actor agreed to shoot only from the third time, and then with the blessing of the priest, because, having found features similar to the character, he was afraid of the projection of the screen story onto his personal life.

In 2016, the project "Drunken Firm" was released, in which the actor appeared in the form of Anatoly Chubais. In the new film adaptation of Alexei Tolstoy's novel "Walking through the agony" Andrei's character, Lieutenant Zhadov, won the heart of nurse Lisa, played by Svetlana Khodchenkova.

In the biographical tape “Yakov. The son of Stalin ”Merzlikin was reincarnated as the son of the leader of the peoples. The film is dedicated to the last days of Yakov Dzhugashvili in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

The popular sports series "Molodezhka" gave Andrey the opportunity to skate. The actor's friends play hockey, and he enjoyed every free minute to go out on the ice. The hero of Merzlikin is Maxim Streltsov, the coach of the Bears rivals. When he was an NHL player, the hockey player injured the character of Denis Nikiroforov, because of which he left the sport. And the final match of the wards is a philosophical dispute between representatives of different styles, power wrestling and thoughtful tactics.

The series “Route of Death” tells about real events that took place from 2009 to 2014 on the federal highway M-4 “Don”, when the criminal gang “GTA” was operating on the roads. In the crime drama, Merzlikin got the role of Major Zvonarev. The operational group under the leadership of an officer conducts an investigation into the circumstances of the crimes.

The film attracted a wide audience of viewers, because the action-packed series is full of exciting events. According to film critics, "Death Track" has become one of the best in the actor's track record.

The personal life of Andrei Merzlikin was successful, although he got married relatively late - at 33. Anna Osokina, his wife, is a psychologist by training. The couple has four children growing up. The artist's family is strong, and this is a rarity in the world of modern cinema and show business.

The eldest son Fedor was born in 2006. Two years later, the daughter of Seraphim was born. And 2 years later, her parents gave her sister Evdokia.

After Andrei Merzlikin got married, he became a surprisingly family and "domestic" person. Although earlier, when he was a bachelor, not a single noisy "party" could do without him. A fundamental turning point in the life of the actor happened in 2004. After another party, the actor's car rammed the fence and flew out onto the ice-bound Moscow River. The car was almost completely submerged. Andrei and his comrades only miraculously managed to survive.

The rescuers, who arrived at the scene, pointed the instantly sobered young people to the monastery, which could be seen on the other side, advising them that they needed to "go-about-there." Since then, the actor is a deeply religious person. He has a confessor.

In January 2016, it became known that Andrei Merzlikin became a father for the fourth time: his wife gave him a second son, Makar.

It is known that Andrei Ilyich went to the Holy Land in April 2017 as part of the delegation of the Fund of St. Andrew the First-Called. Together with Maria Zakharova, an official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, the actor delivered the Holy Fire from the Church of the Resurrection of Christ to the Easter patriarchal service. The delegation, which visited Jerusalem on the eve of Orthodox Easter, included statesmen and public figures, journalists and businessmen, as well as clergy.

Fans of the artist also closely monitor the health of the idol. In 2016, the press reported that Merzlikin was in the hospital after a tour in Nizhny Novgorod. It turned out to be the result of a combination of pneumonia treatment and stage performances.

Merzlikin posted on Instagram a photo taken in a hospital ward, in which he is under an IV. The artist himself called the incident a "reboot" by the will of the Lord. Seeing such an image, the artist's subscribers promised that they would pray for his speedy recovery.

In 2018, the name of Andrei Merzlikin reappeared in the credits of the film dedicated to the era of Boris Godunov. In the new saga about the Russian tsar "Godunov", the role of the first elective master of the throne is entrusted to Sergei Bezrukov, Malyuta Skuratov to Viktor Sukhorukov, his daughter Maria, Boris's future wife Svetlana Khodchenkova. Merzlikin played the boyar Vasily Shuisky.

Special Forces Colonel Kadyshev from "Uchilka" migrated to the sequel to the film, called "The Last Test". This time, the history teacher performed by Irina Kupchenko herself becomes a victim, being taken hostage at the premiere of the musical at the House of Culture. The crowd involved people who suffered during the seizure of the Theater Center on Dubrovka in 2002. This method of overcoming fears was advised by psychologists.

Sergey Makovetskiy and Andrey Merzlikin starred in the sequel to the detective story about dangerous country roads. In the second season of "Trail of Death", the major and the colonel have one goal - to solve a series of crimes, only the officers follow different paths. In addition, the personal conflict that "inherited" the heroes from the first film also interferes. The plot of the new series tells in more detail about the members of the GTA gang, patrons from power structures, and how the killers tried to evade responsibility.

Together with Yulia Peresild Merzlikin played the so-called functional, which opened 28 parallel worlds, in the fantastic film "Draft". Sergei Gorobchenko, Evgeny Tsyganov, Nikita Tarasov and even Irina Khakamada took part in the film adaptation of Sergei Lukyanenko's novel. The politician read the book and agreed to shoot without persuasion.

In the adventure film "Tanks" Andrey got the main role - design engineer Mikhail Koshkin, the developer of the legendary "thirty-four", the Victory tank. The press later noted that the designer in Merzlikin's presentation came out not as a traditional, as is customary, "reflective professor with glasses", but almost as a military officer, not afraid of adventures.

Andrey is involved in the first Russian-Chinese cinematographic project "Wii: The Secret of the Dragon's Seal" with a budget of $ 70 million. The Chinese side is also promoting an adventure film with elements of horror at the box office, the film is predicted to profit only in China in the amount equivalent to 26 billion rubles. The world stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rutger Hauer and Jackie Chan are involved in the participation. Merzlikin was entrusted with the role of the head of the security of Prince Menshikov, and this image was tried on by Pavel Volya.

The spy detective "We will not say goodbye" illustrates the events of the Great Patriotic War. In the film, Merzlikin played the military commandant Kalinin (now Tver). The character of the actor is a major of the NKVD Pavel Sysoev who really lived in the city at that time.

Andrei said that for the first time in his career he got a hero, about whom it cannot be said that he is strictly positive or negative.
