Igot Lyakh

The most famous role of actor Igor Lyakh in the cinema was his debut work: he played Lyonka, the son of the main character, in the popularly beloved comedy Love and Doves. Despite a powerful start, the artist gave the first and only interview to a print publication only 27 years later. The reason - in modesty and dislike of stories about personal, and not at all in the absence of roles.

Immediately after Menshov's film, Lyakh got the main roles in several feature films and television series. The troubled era of the 90s forced him to switch to work far from acting, but, in the end, the artist was able to return to his beloved work.

Igor Lyakh was born on August 16, 1962 in the Moscow region. Then the hometown of Sergiev Posad was called Zagorsk. Here the future actor studied at school number 9. Teachers and classmates remember him as a cheerful and mischievous child. In the summer, the family went to rest at the Vali Kotik pioneer camp "Fakel" in the Moscow region.

Since childhood, the boy was fond of playing and theater, so after school he decided to get an acting education. Igor Lyakh entered the Shchepkin Higher Theater School. The student studied in the studio of N.N. Afonin, and the artistic director of the course was Nikolai Annenkov.

The famous actor was already over 80 years old, but age did not in the least affect the quality of teaching. Among his students were the "stars" of Soviet cinema: Vitaly Solomin, Viktor Pavlov, Oleg Dal. Annenkov himself did not leave work at the theater until his 100th birthday.

In 1983, Igor Lyakh completed his education. And shortly before graduation, the aspiring artist learned about the casting for the upcoming comedy "Mosfilm". The decision to try his luck on this project changed his life.

It seemed that everything was lost: according to the results of the tests, Vladimir Menshov approved Alexander Ozerov for the role of the ruffy, but fair and kind Lenka Kuzyakin. Then he was an actor in the parody collective "Bim-Bom", and later became a member of the "ExBB" quartet. Who, if not a comedian, star in a lyrical comedy. But difficulties arose with the head of the Bim-Bom association.

In the documentary film "Channel One" "The Birth of a Legend. Love and pigeons ”, the director of the film, Alexander Litvinov, said that the head of the team could not discuss the shooting schedule for Ozerov. As a result, the chosen actor himself refused to act.

By that time, the creative team was already at the filming location in Karelia - there was no question of a new casting. After reviewing the sample material, the director decided to call Igor Lyakh. The call, received late and, moreover, not from Mosfilm, but from the filming location, was a surprise for the artist. Gathering in haste, Lyakh rushed to Medvezhyegorsk. Imagine his surprise when he found a competitor there.

Alexander Ozerov told the director that he changed his mind and was ready to act. Menshov was at a loss. In the end, the filmmaker decided to rely on the opinion of the creative team. The production designer Felix Yasyukevich spoke out the clearest of all: once they pulled the guy from his place, then he must be confirmed. So Igor Lyakh became a part of one of the most famous Russian paintings.

Due to the difficulties with the shooting schedule, the scenes with the participation of Igor Lyakh were filmed in one day. At the same time, the episodes did not go in order, and they had to start in general with the climax. The young actor who had just arrived at the site was to act out with Alexander Mikhailov a scene in which the unlucky father, having changed his mind, returns to the family, and then an angry son rushes at him with an ax.

After the release of the picture, Lyakh began to be recognized on the street, but he reacted calmly to popularity. The main wealth of working with Menshov was experience. Finding himself on the same site with eminent actors, a university student sensitively absorbed advice. According to the artist's recollections, Nina Doroshina acutely felt the falsity. If one of her colleagues went too far, the actress tried to send him in the right direction.

In the late 80s, Lyakh got leading roles in several films, but they did not have a wide distribution. At the same time, he starred in serials. One of the brightest roles is the young builder of communism Ivan Shishlov from the television movie "Once upon a time Shishlov" by Vladimir Motyl. Shishlov, an ardent adherent of ideology, does not notice how excessive efforts ruin the lives of people around him, but, in the end, he has to admit mistakes.

After 1993, Igor Lyakh stops acting and goes to the theater. The first place of work is the Maly Theater. But due to material difficulties, the artist was forced to leave the stage and get a job not related to art. After a while I was able to return to my calling. He played in productions of the Theater of the Russian Army, the Moscow Drama Theater named after MN Ermolova, the experimental theater "Detective". Has performed over twenty roles.

In 2000 he returned to the Shchepkinskoye School as a teacher of acting. In 2003 he got a role in the TV version of the play "Numer in the hotel of the city NN", directed by Valery Fokin. This production received the National Golden Mask Prize and the State Prize of the Russian Federation.

In 2007 Igor Lyakh returned to filming. The filmography was replenished with the films "Holy Cause" (Dobrenkov), "New Year's Tariff" (police major), "Christmas trees 3" (Santa Claus in the bullpen), "Thirst" (school director). For his role in the last tape, he received an award as best supporting actor at the Cheboksary International Film Festival, whose president is Karen Shakhnazarov. In 2012 he starred in the television series "Life and Fate" by Sergei Ursulyak.

Igor Lyakh did not give interviews and did not talk about his personal life. Whether he had a wife and children, the press has not yet been able to find out. It is known that Igor Vladimirovich has a brother, Yuri, his life is not connected with theater or cinema. The last photos of Igor Lyakh were published on the website of the Schepkinsky school.

The main activity of Igor Lyakh in recent years is teaching acting at the Schepkinsky school.

Since 2009, the actor has received course guidance. Among the graduates are Yekaterina Volkova, Alexey and Andrey Chadovs, as well as students of the Kalmyk and Bashkir studios, who serve in the republican theaters. For his contribution to education, Lyakh was awarded the title of Honored Art Worker of these republics.
