Gennady Smirnov was born in August 1972 in Vologda. There is little information about the childhood and youth of the future actor. It is known that Gennady grew up in a poor family. The main thing in the boy's life was his mother, whom Smirnov often recalls. About who the father was and whether he was present in Gennady's life, nothing is known.

Gennady Smirnov studied at the 29th Vologda school. Already in the 4th grade, he knew that he would become an artist. Creativity, according to Smirnov, permeated the entire school environment. There were many interesting and extraordinary personalities among the children, teachers and even parents. Concerts, amateur performances and parody evenings were held here regularly. And Gena Smirnov was always present at the performances and was in the forefront of the participants.

Received Gennady and a good musical education. Mom took her son to a music school at the age of 6. So, Smirnov had all the qualities and components for turning a young Vologda citizen into an artist. Therefore, is it any wonder that after receiving a school certificate, the young man went to St. Petersburg.

In 1993, Smirnov received his acting education at the famous St. Petersburg State Academy of Theater Arts, where he studied under the People's Artist of the RSFSR Tamara Abrosimova.

After graduation, the young artist was admitted to the Baltic House Theater.

Theatrical biography of Gennady Smirnov began at the Baltic House. In this theater, the formation of a young man as an actor took place. On this stage and the stage of the V. Komissarzhevskaya Theater, Gennady played many interesting roles. The audience saw the young artist in the role of Jad in the production of "Honoring", Romeo in "Romeo and Juliet", Ferdinand in "The Tempest" and Khlestakov in "The Inspector General".

But it was not theater, but cinema that made the artist recognizable and popular with the Russian public. The actor began acting in the late 90s. Initially, Smirnov appeared in the film-performances "The Legend of Til", "Little Waterman", where he played the central characters.

Soon, the filmography of the aspiring artist began to replenish with popular TV series: "Empire under attack", "Streets of broken lanterns", "National security agent", in which Gennady received cameo roles. Among the heroes that the young actor had to play were bandits and lawyers, homeless people and journalists. From the first years of his film career, Gennady tried to get away from monotony in choosing a role, and he succeeded. Diversity and versatility of Gennady Smirnov was noticed by eminent intellectual directors Mikhail Kozakov, Valery Ogorodnikov, Andrei Konchalovsky and Avdotya Smirnova.

Since the mid-2000s, Smirnov's repertoire has been replenished with works in the adventure film Sea Devils 1, the crime film Plan B. In Avdotya Smirnova's melodrama "Communication", where Anna Mikhalkova and Mikhail Porechenkov played the main characters, Gennady Smirnov appeared in the form of a character named Rinat. In 2007, the actor got the first leading role of Igor Taranov in the detective "A Dozen of Justice". Smirnov's hero is charged with the murder of his wife, but turns out to be innocent of the crime.

A year later, the artist appeared in the film adaptation of Fathers and Sons as Sitnikov. Among Gennady Smirnov's partners were Alexander Ustyugov, Alexander Ratnikov, Sergey Yursky.

Another interesting work of this period is the role of a filmmaker by the name of Bogomaz in the legal drama "Court" by Andrey Silkin. The rating projects of the late 2000s with Smirnov's participation were the detective series Churchill and the melodrama A Word to a Woman.

In addition to serials, Gennady participated in the creation of full-length films, among which the melodrama “Two Days” aroused special interest among film critics. The director of this tape was again Avdotya Smirnova. The location of filming was the Abramtsevo estate-museum, since the film was about the confrontation between the capital's official (Fedor Bondarchuk) and the director of the provincial museum (Ksenia Rappoport).

The manager of the estate for a long time did not agree to place the film crew in the museum building, but after reading the script, she agreed. According to the leader, the central image was as if copied from her. Gennady Smirnov appeared as the hero's assistant Fyodor Bondarchuk.

Gennady Smirnov has a bright acting personality and a special vision of the working material, which is appreciated by directors, so every year the artist's repertoire is replenished with 5-6 projects, among which there are melodramas ("This is my dog", "Father's instinct"), detective stories ("Hounds-5" , "Liteiny-8"), as well as full-length films. The latter include the painting "Cococo", in which Smirnov played the main male role of Leonid Gennadievich. In the film, we were talking about two girls - Liza and Vika (Anna Mikhalkova, Yana Troyanova), the first of whom is a typical Petersburg intellectual, and the second is a provincial party girl.

In the comedy "7 main desires", where the stars of the Russian screen, Anton Makarsky, Igor Petrenko, Irina Pegova, Ekaterina Klimova, Gennady Smirnov managed to embody the image of the picky boss of the main character Masha Zimina (Yulia Kozyreva).

Recently, Smirnov's popularity as a blogger has been growing. Gennady is the author of the LiveJournal blog smirnoff-98 and rather sharply criticizes the current government in Russia, expressing his protest through satire. Many famous politicians have already gotten away from Smirnov. For example, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and State Duma Deputy Elena Mizulina. Gennady dedicated the last song "I call you with my Mizulina", which became popular on the Web.

But it is difficult to find out any details from the actor himself. It is known that Smirnov is not married, but in the life of the actor there was an affair with Avdotya Smirnova. True, this novel "did not last" before the wedding.

Often in the artist's blog, as well as on his Instagram page, photos of pets appear: Gennady is an avid cat lover. The artist claims that cats occupy a huge place in his life, because they are surprisingly independent animals that choose their own owner and are considered the soul of the house.

Now the actor's film career continues to develop steadily. Gennady Smirnov does not lower the bar for the number of films set several years ago. In 2017, the actor tried on the image of the Soviet pilot-cosmonaut Konstantin Feoktistov in the drama Time of the First with Yevgeny Mironov in the title role.
