Evklid Kyurdzidis

Euclid Kurdzidis is a Russian film and theater actor of Greek origin, Honored Artist of Russia and South Ossetia.

Today he is known for his roles in the films "War", "More Important Than Love", "Life After Life". He equally brilliantly succeeds in the images of heroes-lovers and emperors, intellectuals and bandits.

Euclid Kurdzidis was born on February 22, 1968 in the southern town of Russia with a Greek population, but in most interviews he prefers to call the city of Essentuki his home. In the family of the boy's parents, who are Greek by nationality, four children were raised. Euclid's mother, Lamara Konstantinovna, worked in a cinema, and his father, Kiriak Antonovich, was a mathematician, and he suggested giving his son such an extravagant name.

The son often ran to work to his mother to watch the latest film distribution. Already at the age of 4, he knew that he would become an artist, although he had not yet decided on the genre. He liked to make people laugh and put a smile on their faces, he was seriously considering the option of becoming a circus performer.

Soon the Kurdzidis family moved to Essentuki, to the Stavropol Territory, where the young Euclid went to a comprehensive school. At school, the boy read a lot, was fond of the poems of Nikolai Gumilyov and Alexander Pushkin, the works of Vladimir Nabokov and the stories of Nikolai Gogol. In his youth, he began to read the philosophical books of Carlos Castaneda, Vasily Rozanov, George Gurdjieff and others.

In Essentuki, Euclid studied 8 classes, after which he decided to make his dream come true and enter the Dnepropetrovsk theater school, where they accepted boys and girls from the age of 14. At the school, he studied acting and mastered a new Ukrainian language for himself. Educated in 1987, Euclid was assigned to the Drama Theater of the city of Lutsk.

The artist managed to play a little on stage before he was drafted into the army. The guy was sent to Astrakhan, to the company of the missile forces, where he served at the Kapustin Yar cosmodrome.

After the army, Euclid decided to continue his education, focusing on cinema. He applied to the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography for the acting department. He passed the exams easily, but he was not considered a promising student, despite the excellent marks. The teachers did not see him as a future star of Russian cinema and predicted a career for him as a director. Time after time, Kurdzidis tried to prove them wrong, and in the end, in 1997, he graduated from the institute with honors.

While still a student, Euclid often visited his parents, who by that time had returned to Greece. In 1996, he received Greek citizenship, which is incredibly proud of.

The first theater to accept Euclid Kurdzidis was the Drama Theater of Lutsk, where the guy got on distribution after graduating from the theater school. After the army, he also played for a short time at the Pyatigorsk Theater, where he got the role of Mizgir in the play The Snow Maiden.

However, Euclid's ambitions demanded more, and soon he went to the Russian capital. In Moscow, I faced a competition for places in the theater: even graduates of Moscow institutes could not always get there, and the guy had no chance with a diploma from the Dnepropetrovsk school. A significant role in this was also played by the atypical appearance of the artist, which he was often told about at the institute.

After a career in cinema, the actor was invited to take part in theatrical performances. One of his first performances on the big stage was the production of "Hamlet" by Peter Stein, where he played several roles at once.

In the future, the actor embodied many more roles in various performances, among them the Marquis de la Rondo from the musical production "Annie", Revun-Karaulov from "Wedding" and others.

In 2002, Euclid was invited to the extraordinary performance “Ladies Night. Only for women". One of the features of the performance was the presence of a male striptease at the end of the show, which is why the actor refused to participate for a long time. But after reading the script, the artist changed his mind and performed in a production the same year. Euclid has been playing in it for several years now, touring Europe with other actors.

One of the last works of the actor is participation in the production based on the work of the Greek playwright Sophocles "Antigone", where he got the role of Creon. The actor also appeared in the “Rose with a Double Scent” entreprise, where he played along with Larisa Udovichenko and Zhanna Epple.

In 2017, the actor presented his author's work - a solo performance "Alone with You", in which, in addition to his dramatic talent, he also showed musical abilities. Euclid performed Russian and Greek songs, poems and prose passages throughout the story. The play was staged at the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan.

Kurdzidis got into the cinema thanks to his exotic appearance for Russia and a fit figure (with a height of 177 cm, Euclid's weight did not exceed 78 kg). In his second year at VGIK, he was noticed by director Vladimir Motyl, who at that time was filming the picture "The Horses Carry Me". In the tape, the guy got the cameo role of a Greek, for which he cut his hair and grew a mustache.

Subsequently, Euclid began to be invited to the characteristic roles of various foreigners. In the 1997 film Intermed, he played a French machinist, and in 2000, an Italian.

Since 2001, Euclid has been actively filmed in the images of Chechens and people of the Eastern nation. For the first time in such a role, he appeared in the television series "Men's Work", where he played a Chechen fighter nicknamed Scar. In 2002, he appeared in the film "War", where he played one of his favorite roles in his career - the elderly shepherd Ruslan Shamaev. In order not to become an actor of one role, Euclid became more selective in the choice of such images.

In 2003, Kurdzidis became a participant in the filming of the film "Babi Yar", which tells about the terrible events during the Second World War. The film was produced by the German Arthur Brauner and directed by the American Jeff Canew. Although the actor got a cameo role, the shooting seriously influenced his perception of the world and his attitude to war.

In 2005, the TV series "My Personal Enemy" directed by Vladimir Popkov was released, where the actor played the atypical role of a Frenchman who came to Russia to write a book. For this work, Euclid had to learn French, combining it with the study of English - at the same time he participated in the auditions of a Hollywood film. The picture brought Kurdzidis success and showed his acting versatility, taking him out of the role of an action villain.

In the future, the actor's repertoire was replenished with works in popular projects - "Traffic Light", "Sklifosovsky", "St. John's Wort-3" and "Odessa-Mama". Euclid played the main character in the thriller Life After Life, where he starred with Yulia Mavrina and Anton Pampushny. Later, Kurdzidis appeared in the comedy "Holiday of Disobedience", the melodrama "I Will Get Married" and the detective story "Purely Moscow Murders".

Euclid tries not to talk about his personal life and wives. Journalists have long dubbed him an inveterate bachelor, but in one interview, the actor admitted that he had already been married three times. The artist, according to Kurdzidis, simply needs to be constantly in a state of love.

Euclid considers himself to be an amorous person, unable to reliably act out love on stage or in a movie, without being carried away by a partner. Perhaps due to this factor, as well as the lack of official comments from the star, journalists often attribute novels to him.

In early 2017, the actor's fans started talking about his alleged romance with Larisa Guzeeva. The TV presenter at that time was just going through a crisis in her relationship with her husband, and joint photos with Euclid on her Instagram prompted subscribers to think. But there were no comments from the artists, besides, soon Guzeeva announced that they had reconciled with Igor Bukharov.

In an interview, Kurdzidis calls himself a sociable and generous person. The actor loves to invite friends to visit and travel. The Russian Greek prefers to spend all his money on his loved ones, creating a holiday around him. Once he even mentioned that he was not averse to trying on the image of a millionaire in life, which he had repeatedly portrayed on the screen. But then the artist would spend all the money on helping disadvantaged and sick children.

Greece remains a favorite place on the planet for Euclid, despite the fact that he grew up in Russian culture. At every opportunity, Kurdzidis goes to Thessaloniki, where his relatives still live. At home, the name of Euclid is known to his compatriots. The Greeks call the artist “Russian Alem Pacino”.

In 2010, the actor even ran for mayor of Thessaloniki. Euclid did not expect to win, his goal was to cheer up the people of Greece, who were going through hard times due to the difficult economic situation in the country.

The actor's friendliness is manifested in everything: he will never refuse fans who approached him on the street for an autograph. For the sake of communication with friends and connoisseurs of his work, Euclid started personal pages on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. On his behalf, there is a website where the actor pleases readers not only with new photos, but also with small literary notes.

Kurdzidis remains a popular actor in Russian cinema. His extraordinary appearance allows him to play foreigners, and his acting skills open up a wide range of roles for him: from comedic characters to serious and lyrical characters.

The artist acts in serials, but chooses only those tapes that attract him with the original script and characters. The filmography of Kurdzidis includes dozens of different paintings.

In 2018, the actor became a guest of Tatiana Ustinova's program "My Hero", where he spoke about his creative biography and plans for the future. The artist has already realized one dream in the spring of the same year. Euclid became the organizer of the Crystal Source Film Festival, which took place in Essentuki.

In the future, Kurdzidis plans to create his own film studio in the North Caucasus region. The festival program included the films "The Tsar Bird" by Eduard Novikov, "Frostbitten Carp" by Vladimir Kott, "Cold Tango" by Pavel Chukhrai, "Unforgiven" by Sarik Andreasyan and others. The actor will continue working on holding the next film festival in 2019.
