At the same time, on the set, he met with such masters of Russian cinema as Nikolai Karachentsov, Natalya Egorova, Sergei Shakurov, Vladimir Ilyin, Inna Churikova, Dmitry Kharatyan and a dozen other artists whose persons do not require presentation. And Dima was lucky to learn acting from Alexei Batalov himself. It is just right for the artist to write his memoirs about those legends with which he was lucky enough to communicate and work.

Dmitry Verkeenko is a native Muscovite. He was born in December 1982 and from childhood aimed at the acting profession, although there were no artists in Dima's family. The future star of the historical film Svetlana Druzhinina studied at the capital's school number 279, having time to attend ballroom dancing (Dmitry gave them 7 years) and act in films.

The young actor got to the set in the 4th grade: the agents of the film almanac "Yeralash" looked at a Moscow school in search of talented guys with a memorable appearance. A boy with blue eyes and flaxen hair, artistic and relaxed, got a chance to "get on TV."

Dima went to auditions with his grandfather Alexander Semenovich, who believed in the talent of his beloved grandson and did not doubt his success. Parents also supported their son, seeing that hobby for cinema is not self-indulgence.

"Yeralash", which opened the door to the world of big cinema for many actors, whose names the whole country knows today, gave Dima Verkeenko a happy chance. The director of the children's almanac advised the candidacy of Dmitry to Svetlana Druzhinina, who was looking for the right type among teenagers for the role of the young emperor Peter II.

After leaving school, the Muscovite, whose creative baggage included work in 5 films of the sensational series, easily entered VGIK. He was enrolled in the workshop of the legendary Batalov. In 2003 Dmitry Verkeenko became a certified actor.

At first glance, Dmitry Verkeenko's career looks impetuous and brilliant. In an interview, the actor lifted the veil of secrecy over his film debut, telling that he could have “flown” past the starring role.

The series "Secrets of Palace Revolutions" was filmed with significant interruptions due to lack of money. After the 1st episode there was a 9-month intermission. When the group started filming the 2nd episode, the director Druzhinina gasped: Ivan Sinitsyn, who played the imperial son in childhood, became a mustachioed young man. An urgent need to replace the actor.

Of the dozens of boys who passed the casting, the director opted for the blonde Dima Verkeenko, whose candidacy was suggested by Semyon Morozov. Outwardly, the teenager was suitable for the role, but the fast Moscow dialect, more like an indistinct patter, upset Druzhinina. Then Svetlana Sergeevna asked Dmitry to read Romeo's monologue, which required placement and slowness. Got the same result.

The grandson was "saved" by his grandfather, who felt that he was slipping away from Dima. He brought Druzhinina a videotape where the boy dances tango and rumba. The director was fascinated by Dmitry's plasticity and artistry. Taking into account the fact that the young emperor Peter had to fence and ride on horseback, Verkeenko was approved. After working on diction, the actor began to act and did not disappoint Druzhinin.

On the set of the tape, the schoolboy experienced stormy "romances". According to the plot, the young emperor is in love with the beautiful Elizaveta Petrovna, played by Ekaterina Nikitina. And the daughter of Menshikov, Maria, became the bride of Peter II. Haratyan's wife, Marina Maiko, reincarnated in her.

Work on the last episode, where Verkeenko starred, ended in 2003. Dmitry's character died in terrible agony in the 6th film with the telling title "Death of the Young Emperor".

Further filmography of the artist did not bring fame commensurate with the project of Druzhinina. Dmitry starred in the melodrama "Winter Affair" with Juozas Budraitis and Ada Rogovtseva in the lead roles, played a character named Sniff in the comedy film "Bachelor Party, or Big Sex in a Small Town", appeared in the TV series "Young and Evil", which was released in 2006 year.

In 2008, Roman Prosvirnin's 2-episode melodrama "Call My Door" was released, where Dmitry Verkeenko got the episode. He played the same small roles in the series "House on the Ozernaya" and "Angelica".

But in 2010, the Muscovite was lucky: in the youth comedy "Real Boars" he was entrusted with the main role, which Dmitry shared with Evgenia Dobrovolskaya, Ivan Okhlobystin, Anfisa Chekhova, Daria Charusha and other stars. Verkeenko played Boris, the screen son of Dobrovolskaya and Okhlobystin.

In 2011, Irina Gedrovich's 4-episode action-packed "spy" saga "SMERSH. A legend for a traitor. " The artist had to reincarnate as Arvydas, a soldier of the group of "forest brothers".

The admirers, who, after the release of the pictures with Dmitry's participation, are a great many, are attracted by the "Scandinavian" appearance of the artist. A blond with gray-blue eyes has no chance of getting lost in the crowd. With a height of 1.76 m, Dmitry Verkeenko's weight does not exceed the norm: the actor keeps himself in good shape.

In 2017, he celebrated his 35th birthday, but he is still not married. Verkeenko does not like to talk about his personal life, keeping it in strict confidence. There is no information about the actor's wife and children, and whirlwind romances "for show" happen exclusively on the screen.

After the show of the series by Svetlana Druzhinina, Dmitry woke up famous. They recognized him on the street, asked for an autograph, and kept watch at the house. Young fans came to performances with the participation of Verkeenko, gave bouquets, in which they put love notes with phones. The actor admits that there was a temptation to call, but what stopped him was that his mobile number would go to “walk” around strangers, and as a result he would have to change the SIM card. Dima knows some fans by sight.

The filmography of the artist as of 2019 includes a few pictures and TV series, the last project dates back to 2011. Verkeenko does not speak about new films, but complains that he is not offered roles, in depth and scale commensurate with the one he played in Druzhinina's series.
