Igor Livanov

Igor Livanov is a Russian theater and film actor, since 2004 - Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. He had to overcome obstacles and find the strength to survive in the hardest life situations not only on the screen, but also in life. The tragic fate did not break him, the actor found his happiness not only in creativity, but also in life, finding family peace after 50 years.

The actor was born in Kiev into a theatrical family. Livanov's parents, Evgeny Aristarkhovich and Nina Timofeevna, worked as artists, and at the time of the birth of their son, they headed a puppet theater at the Kiev House of Pioneers. Igor has an older brother Aristarchus, who also became an actor.

As the artist later admitted, the moment of meeting his future mother and father took place at the front, during the battles near Kiev. Nina Timofeevna, a medical lieutenant, found the shell-shocked Evgeny among the dead soldiers after an air raid. The girl went out to the special forces in the hospital, after which the young man proposed to her. The front-line marriage turned out to be strong, and the family was friendly.

During his school years, Livanov Jr. was much more interested in the boxing ring than the theatrical stage. Igor was engaged in power sports, and attended the boxing section starting from the 5th grade. Nevertheless, after receiving the certificate, the young man did not deviate from the family tradition and left for Leningrad, where he began to study at the State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography on the course of the famous teacher and director Igor Gorbachev.

After the university, the newly-made actor was not expected at all by the stage, but by the bridgehead. Igor Livanov was drafted into the army and did military service near Vladivostok in one of the divisions of the Marine Corps. After demobilization, the actor moved to Rostov-on-Don and got a job at the local Theater of Young Spectators, but soon transferred to the Rostov Academic Drama Theater named after Maxim Gorky, where he served for more than 10 years. He also had a chance to teach acting at the Rostov School of Arts.

In 1988 Livanov went to the capital to join the troupe of the experimental theater "Detective", where he was personally invited by artistic director Vasily Livanov, the star of the series "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson." At the moment, the actor is involved in the troupe of the Moscow Theater of the Moon, which is directed by People's Artist Sergei Prokhanov.

The role of Nikolai Torsuev in the lyric drama "Unrequited Love" directed by Andrei Malyukov, which was released in 1979, became the first work in the cinematic biography of Igor Livanov. She did not bring him national fame, but the experience of cooperation with artists Leonid Markov and Inna Makarova turned out to be very useful.

Igor Livanov's first major film work took place in 1984. The actor reincarnated as the main character, a front-line cameraman, in the military drama "Report from the Line of Fire". The artist's filmography was gradually replenished. In the 80s in his repertoire appeared small roles in the films "Stargazer", "The Mysterious Heir", in the early 90s Igor appeared in the drama "Chernobyl. The last warning. "

The country started talking about a new star in 1993, when the detective action film "Destroy the Thirtieth!", In which Igor played the special forces officer Sergei Cherkasov, nicknamed the Thirty, was shown on the screens. The actor says that the period of service in the Marine Corps helped him in understanding the psychology of his hero.

By the way, the actor performs all the tricks that the viewer sees in the picture independently. This action movie also stars the brother of the actor Aristarkh Livanov, playing the role of the captain of the Eleventh, the best friend of the Thirtieth. The brothers are 6 years apart, and on the screen it is done in such a way that their friendship is perceived as father-sons.

The image of a strong man was also demonstrated by Livanov in the popular serial film "At the Patriarch's Corner", where he plays the role of police captain Sergei Nikolsky. It is interesting that in one of the episodes, when the authorities congratulate Livanov's hero on a successful investigation, the role of the detective was played by the real policeman Vladimir Kolokoltsev, at that time an employee of one of the Moscow offices, and later the Minister of Internal Affairs of Russia.

Igor Livanov did not remain within the framework of the role of "superman in uniform" and played quite diverse characters, but they were always united by one quality - they were good characters. For a long time, the actor deliberately avoided negative characters, with the exception of the crime drama "Screw", in which he tried to portray a gangster nicknamed Khan. Livanov did not like this work so much that in the future he decided to live on the screen only the lives of morally honest people.

Among the heroes in which the actor is reincarnated is businessman Petrov from Vadim Abdrashitov's film A Play for a Passenger, where Livanov played in tandem with Sergei Makovetsky, an approximate of the Duke of Anjou in the film adaptation of The Countess de Monsoro, where Alexander Domogarov, Dmitry Maryanov also appeared, Ekaterina Strizhenova, Yuri Yakovlev, Lev Durov.

For 4 years he starred in the series "Impostors", and then followed a series of leading roles in the projects "Empire under attack", "Beauty Salon", "Homeland awaits". The audience remembered Livanov's performance by the character Andrei Khomenko in the adventure drama “Lord Officers”. The film is about three army friends who meet again 20 years after serving in Afghanistan.

The actor actively replenishes his repertoire with films about the military, including "72 meters", "Saboteur". Igor Evgenievich tried his hand again in the form of a negative hero, appearing in the role of a killer in the film "All inclusive". Later Livanov reincarnated as a successful doctor in the project "It Happens", party organizer in the TV series "Big Oil", a general in the social drama "Robinson".

The artist was lucky to star in the leading role of the rating project "Steep Banks" and in the popular comedy "Country of OZ". In 2013, he again decided to enter the image of evil in human form and played Adolf Hitler in the mystical drama Vangelia, based on real biographical facts from the life of the Bulgarian clairvoyant Vanga.

In 2016, Igor Livanov appeared as Petrov in the crime comedy Against All Rules. The film depicts an absurd situation in which a robber, a desperate single father, and a national security agent disguised as a bank client, spying on foreign spies, face a robber, desperate single father.

In 2017, the actor played the main role in the ironic drama Don Juan the Virgin. The film tells about the life of an elderly director who is rehearsing a play based on the play of his own deceased older brother "The Virgin, or Don Juan". The director is already 60 years old, and the hero is lonely: relatives, friends, wife and son have gone all over the world, leaving him alone.

Also in 2017, the actor played the role of the king in the adventure mini-series "The Testament of the Princess". Livanov's character is the ruler of a small country in Central Europe, Saint-Lumiere, where such a structure of a just society has been achieved, which humanity has dreamed of for centuries. But the nearby France demands from the king to immediately return the old loan taken by the country. Otherwise, France threatens to swallow the happy state.

In 2018, Igor Livanov's acting biography was replenished with another major role. He played in the social crime drama "The Embassy" of the Russian diplomat, the first secretary of the embassy in one of the countries of Eastern Europe, Gennady Markovich Vedeneev.

The plot is centered on a diplomatic scandal. Hero Livanov, under mysterious circumstances, is detained by local special services and found in his possession of a case with drugs. This event instantly becomes a major international scandal, and Russian diplomats will have to figure out what is happening and turn the situation for the good of the country.

In 2003, the actor took part in the third season of the popular reality show "The Last Hero" on Channel One. In this program, he, along with a group of other show business stars, ended up on one of the islands of the Caribbean Sea, located near Haiti, and for a long time had to demonstrate endurance and the ability to survive in unusual conditions.

After 4 years, Livanov again decided to try himself in a television program, especially since the format of the new show allowed the actor to remember the hobby of his youth - boxing. Livanov agreed to become one of the participants in the "King of the Ring" program, which was led by the world-famous Russian boxer Kostya Tszyu. Over the years, the artist has not lost his shape: with a height of 176 cm, his weight was stably kept at around 75 kg. After several victories, the man received a broken arm in training and stopped participating in the project.

It cannot be said that life was condescending to Livanov. The actor has experienced a number of tragedies in his personal life. Igor lost his wife and children from his first two marriages. In his youth, the artist met his colleague Tatyana Piskunova. In an interview that Livanov gave to Boris Korchevnikov in the program "The Fate of a Man", he recalls that he had tremulous feelings for the girl.

For him, she long remained an unattainable ideal. The relationship between the actors began during the filming of the children's film "Ivan da Marya", where Tatiana played. At first, the married couple lived on the periphery: in Ulyanovsk, then in Rostov-on-Don. A daughter was born in marriage. But once a happy family life was cut off forever.

The actor's wife and his 8-year-old daughter Olga tragically died on August 7, 1987. This happened at the Kamenskaya station due to the fact that the brakes of the freight train failed, and it crushed several cars of the passenger train. Many people died in the crash, including those close to Igor Livanov.

For several years, the actor could not get away from the death of his daughter and wife, but later Irina Bakhtura, a student at the art school in which the man taught, was able to return Livanov's interest in life. He realized that only the birth of children would save him from difficult memories. The couple got married, and in 1989 they had a son, Andrei. The marriage of Igor and Irina lasted until 2000. The reason for the divorce was the wife's romance with Sergei Bezrukov. The woman took the name of her new husband and became known as Irina Bezrukova.

It was a doubly difficult moment for Igor Evgenievich - on the eve of parting with his wife, he received a severe spinal injury while performing stunts on the set of the film "Destroy the Thirtieth!", As a result of which he fell out of the cage for a long time. The actor was forced to spend all his savings on health restoration. Livanov managed to get on his feet thanks to the unique technique of one doctor.

Over the next years, Igor tried to devote his free time to meetings with his son and was in a wonderful relationship with him. But in March 2015, the actor lost his second child when Andrei Livanov died suddenly at the age of 25. The cause of death was a tragic accident.

The guy, already by this time suffering from a severe form of diabetes mellitus, fell on the floor at his home and received a small but fatal blow to the head. The death of his son knocked down the actor even more. Despite this, Igor Livanov did not give up trying to start a family and live a happy life with his wife and children.

Igor Livanov will become a father for the fourth time 37-year-old wife of 61-year-old actor is expecting a child. In the family of an honored artist ...

Today Igor Evgenievich is married for the third time. The new darling Olga has nothing to do with show business. The wife is engaged in legal transactions in the sale of securities. In the family of Igor and Olga, who is 25 years younger than her husband, two sons are brought up - Timofey and Ilya. The actor protects the peace of his family, so photos of his wife and children rarely appear in official sources of information.

Now Igor Livanov took a short creative break and appears only on the stage.
