Karen Badalov

Karen Badalov is an actor equally successful in theater, film and television. Colleagues characterize the artist as a categorical, meticulous and reliable person, and Badalov himself calls himself a person of the past millennium.

The actor was born in March 1965 in Moscow, in Nastasinsky lane. When the boy moved to the 2nd grade, the house where the Badalovs lived was demolished, and the family received an apartment in Chertanovo. In the region, which now has a population of 400 thousand people, street scenes of Eldar Ryazanov's film "Office Romance" were filmed in those years.

Badalov spoke about parents and childhood in the program of Tatyana Ustinova on the TVC channel "My Hero". Karen Karlosovich's mother was an elementary school teacher, his father was a cameraman, who began his career as an illuminator in cinema. In the filmography of Carlos Badalov there are such films as "The Adventures of the Yellow Suitcase" and "Dumas in the Caucasus", but the man did not have a higher education, and the position of Badalov Sr. was called "assistant operator".

Karen's father took the boy on business trips to the shooting and tried to use him as a young artist. However, the obstinate son refused. The world of cinema did not attract Karen at all as a child. Young Badalov was not interested in the art of photography, to which his father wanted to introduce him.

Karen was fond of physics and mathematics and after school tried to enter the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology named after Nikolai Bauman, but failed and became a student at the Institute of Steel and Alloys. During the day, Badalov was engaged in descriptive geometry and sopromat, and in the evenings he attended the plastic drama studio located in Neskuchny Garden.

Having defended his diploma, the young engineer applied to all theatrical universities in Moscow. The Shchukin and Shchepkinskoe schools, as well as the Moscow Art Theater School, did not take Badalov, but in GITIS Karen chose between the workshops of Leonid Kheifets and Pyotr Fomenko. Badalov went to Pyotr Naumovich because he was very fond of his film "For the rest of his life."

Badalov does not flaunt his personal life. The actor calls his “Peter Fomenko's Workshop” his family. The great director treated the graduates like children.

The marriage, concluded in his youth and quickly disintegrated, gave Karen a son. In an interview in 2017, Badalov said that the son dreams of following in the footsteps of his grandfather, becoming a cameraman, and is studying at the preparatory courses of VGIK. In 2018, Alexander Karenovich Badalov entered the studio of Professor Vadim Alisov, who, as a cameraman, made films such as "Station for Two" and "Cruel Romance". The name of his ex-wife, Karen Karlosovich, will not be made public.

The final performance of the Badalov course was the staging of the play by Alexander Ostrovsky "Wolves and Sheep". Petr Naumovich recommended Karen to “play fast”. Only years later, the actor understood the meaning of the mentor's advice: Badalov's character Berkutov is a Muscovite who came to the provinces, and to the landowners his gait and manner of speaking seem impetuous.

The play won the Grand Prix at the Polish festival "Contact-93" and entered the repertoire of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop theater, which was formed on the basis of Badalov's course. Other famous theatrical roles of Karen Karlosovich include Solyony in Three Sisters, Signor Pindemonti in Egyptian Nights and King Lear in the tragedy of the same name by William Shakespeare, which was staged using five versions of the text translation into Russian.

In cinema and on television, a non-Russian type of actor is often exploited. In films, the Armenian Badalov plays not only the heroes of his nationality (in particular, Anastas Mikoyan in the series Once in Rostov and Yuri Kara's drama The Chief), but also Jews (in the TV series Casus Kukotsky, Heavy Sand, Sklifosovsky "and the Russian-Ukrainian film" Match "), Chechens (in the comedy" Yolki-2 "), Arabs and Turks. In the social drama "Belly Dance", the actor created the image of Khasan, the beloved heroine of Anastasia Nemolyaeva.

In the film "Stormy Gates", nominated in 2007 for the State Prize of Russia, Karen Karlosovich reincarnated as "a bandit in a mask of Santa Claus." The picture, like the series "Casus Kukotsky", released a year earlier, became a joint work of Badalov and Yuri Tsurilo.

The actor has repeatedly revived the images of celebrities of bygone eras on the screen. This is Osip Brik in the mini-series “Mayakovsky. Two Days ", Sergei Efron in Mikhail Kozakov's film The Charm of Evil, Mikhail Loris-Melikov in The Emperor's Love. In 2004, Karen Karlosovich was awarded the title "Honored Artist of the RSFSR".

Good news for fans of Karen Karlosovich's talent: in 2020, the adventure thriller Ad Libitium directed by Polina Oldenburg with the participation of Badalov was to be released. In the center of the plot is a journalistic investigation, during which the correspondent German Krylov finds himself in a company that sells feelings of love. The title of the film is a musical term, translated from Latin, meaning "at your own discretion."

The coronavirus pandemic, which covered the world in the spring of 2020, made adjustments to Badalov's work. In order not to lose touch with the audience during the ban on attending public events, the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop Theater puts on the Internet a project called Extracurricular Readings, in which the troupe's artists read excerpts from their favorite works. In the performance of Karen Karlosovich, fans who are on self-isolation heard the chapters of Boris Vakhtin's story "One absolutely happy village", which were not included in the theater production of the same name.

On April 12, 2020, Yandex.Efir broadcast a recording of the "Workshop" play "Twelfth Night" with Badalov as the Jester. According to the recollections of Karen Karlosovich, joy and improvisation reigned at the rehearsals of the play by William Shakespeare.
