Artyom Semakin

The audience remembered this actor for his role in the sitcom “Don't Be Born Beautiful”. Artem Semakin played Kolya Zorkin, an absurd and insecure bespectacled man, a friend of the main character Katya.

Artem was born in July 1980 in Chelyabinsk, the boy grew up in an incomplete family. Artyom and his younger sister Dasha were raised by their mother Natalya Mikhailovna, who had to work a lot and hard to make ends meet and put two children on their own. Natalya Mikhailovna, having a musical education, worked wherever she could get a job.

Since childhood, Artyom has been diagnosed with a rare bone disease that leads to frequent fractures. But the disease developed in Semakin in a mild form, which allowed the young man to subsequently lead a full-fledged lifestyle. From childhood, the boy sang well and felt the music. At the insistence of his mother, the son entered the music and pedagogical college, where he studied for only 2 years.

Artem did not like school: he dropped out of school after the 9th grade. The guy had a dream - to enter a theater university in the capital. To save money for an expensive trip, Semakin did a lot of work. The young man worked as a courier, carried bulky theatrical scenery. When he collected the required amount, he went to conquer Moscow. I went with a friend who had a similar dream.

Both entered. Artem Semakin - to the Shchukin Theater School, a friend - to the Moscow Art Theater School. In Shchukinsky, Semakin got on a course with a talented teacher Yuri Shlykov. In 2001, the young actor was admitted to Oleg Tabakov's "Snuffbox".

In the famous "Snuffbox" Semakin made his debut as Novikov in the production of "Soldiers". But after 2 years he moved to the Center for Contemporary Drama and Directing, where he was engaged in the play "Not Spoken".

The cinematic biography of Artyom Semakin began in his student years. The actor starred in a small role in the series "Simple Truths". The aspiring actor got his first experience of filming a movie and earned money, which was by no means superfluous in Moscow. The Simple Truths were followed by episodes in Down House and The Joker.

The first significant role went to Artem Semakin in 2002, when the young man was in his last year of university. The famous director Nikolai Lebedev invited the young man to one of the main roles in the military drama "Star". The artist played the scout Sparrow (Private Vorobyov). A thin, tall young man (Semakin's height is 178 cm) is forced to fight against the enemy along with experienced comrades in arms.

In the image of private Vorobyov, the tragedy of a generation of young people who left for the war, who had not even begun to live, was shown.

On the set of the film, Semakin first realized what the hardships of acting are. The motion picture was shot in Alabino near Moscow in 40-degree heat. The group lived for three months in an army barracks. After grueling filming, the artists fell into the local river right in their uniforms.

Actors who were not familiar with military life were trained on a voluntary basis by the military who had gone through the Chechen campaign. During such training, the performers of the main roles really felt the meaning of what was happening in the frame.

After the release of the film, Artem Semakin woke up famous. The actor played the role of a spy who died tragically so soulfully that the State Duma deputies who were present at the premiere watched the scene of Sparrow's death while standing. It was a success.

In 2003, Semakin played a cameo role in the rating series "Kamenskaya". The artist appeared in the 3rd season, in the Stylist series. And in 2004, luck again - a noticeable role in the film by Karen Shakhnazarov "The Rider Called Death". The young actor brilliantly reincarnated as the terrorist Ivan Kalyaev. It was a difficult job, because Kaliayev claims that he is a deeply religious person, and at the same time throws a bomb. With the help of a talented director, Artem managed to find the right solution and play reliably.

The starring role that made Artyom Semakin widely known came to him in 2005 along with the TV series Don't Be Born Beautiful. Loser Kolya brought incredible success to the young actor. Later, the artist admitted that he is in many ways similar to his own hero.

Artyom also had to wear second-hand clothes and look, to put it mildly, a provincial simpleton. The only thing that distinguishes Artyom from Nikolai is his glasses. They save Kolya from myopia, and the artist Semakin wears an accessory "for the image."

The next major role was not slow to appear. As soon as the shooting of the sitcom was over, Semakin was offered to play in a film with fantasy elements called "Wolfhound from the clan of the Gray Dogs." The film was released in 2007 and received loud and controversial reviews.

However, almost all projects in which Artem Semakin appeared, caused a great resonance. Such were the films "Last Weekend" and "Dead Daughters". As Artem Semakin later admitted, it turned out to be really scary to play in thrillers. But viewers and critics were convinced once again: the actor is capable of roles in different roles - from light comedic ones to heavy ones, requiring deep psychology.

In 2015, fans of Artyom Semakin's talent saw the actor in a new adaptation of the play by Alexander Vampilov "Duck Hunt", which was made by Alexander Proshkin and Alexander Rodionov. The drama was named "Paradise Tabernacles". The role of Zilov went to Evgeny Tsyganov, and Semakin played Kuzakov.

In the life of Semakin - two unsuccessful marriages. The first wife of the actor was a colleague, the beautiful Anastasia Milyaeva, with whom Artem studied together on the same course. The couple had a daughter, Sophia, after which Anastasia decided to devote herself entirely to the family. But this union could not stand Artyom's betrayal. On the set of "Don't Be Born Beautiful", the actor met another beauty - Maria Mashkova, the daughter of People's Artist Vladimir Mashkov, and left his first wife.

But the marriage with Masha lasted only 3 years, although it all started rosy, and in an interview Mashkova admitted that she felt great happiness from the fact that Artem was next to her. The second family broke up for the same reason for which it was created.

Artyom again had an affair, this time with the actress Sofya Kashtanova, on the set of the film "Moon-Moon", which took place in early autumn in Yalta. The romance of the coastal nature also influenced the relationship between the actors. The artist could not hide new feelings from his wife and honestly confessed to Maria in treason.

The personal life of Artyom Semakin is heard again. The actor has a new lover - Frenchwoman Cecile Plangy. According to rumors, the actor plans to marry and adopt Cecile's child from a previous marriage. Rare joint photos of young people have already appeared in the media. Artem Semakin does not use social networks for his own promotion, including Instagram, the actor is completely immersed in work. But the artist has an account on the VKontakte network.

Artem Semakin appears exclusively in rating projects. With the participation of the artist, the shooting of three projects was completed in 2016: the disaster film "The Crew", where Artem appeared as a volcanologist, the biographical series "Kharms", in which Semakin reincarnated as the writer Nikolai Zabolotsky, and the detective "The Route of Death".

In the last series, the artist tried on the image of the genius of IT-technologies Yegor Potapchuk, who helps the investigation in search of criminals who cruelly deal with accidental victims on the Moscow highway. The film is based on real events. The main characters were performed by Sergei Makovetsky, Andrey Merzlikin and Agniya Kuznetsova.

In 2017, the actor's filmography was replenished with a role in the film "Salyut-7" about a docking in orbit of a working spacecraft, where there were two cosmonauts, and a space station that was in an emergency state. Soviet pilots Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh (played in the film by Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Pavel Derevyanko) conducted in 1985 the most difficult flight in the history of world cosmonautics. Artem Semakin got the role of Shubin's assistant in the motion picture.

Now the premiere of Karen Oganesyan's comedy "Life Ahead" has taken place, where Artem Semakin starred as the hero of Andrei Osokin, a former student of 11-B, who came to a meeting with his classmates. Soon the screening of the thriller "Sleepers" started, in which it was about the operation of foreign special services inside Russia. In the second film, Artem Semakin got the episodic role of an opposition activist.
