However, the craving for creativity manifested itself even then, in early youth. The teenager attended a choreographic circle and a music school. And when, according to the general education program, the students passed Woe from Wit, Kirill Zaitsev delighted his classmates with scenes from the play, in which he presented all the characters in the famous work of Alexander Griboyedov.

Friends laughed and joked that in Kirill "the artist is missing." They hardly guessed that 10-15 years would pass, and they would see a classmate on a wide screen and empathize with his characters.

At first, Zaitsev did not see himself as an actor. In graduation classes at the "Shturmanskoe Delo" club, he became interested in sea romance and after graduating from the 1st city gymnasium went to the Northern capital. Zaitsev entered a seaman (Academy named after Admiral S. Makarov), choosing the Faculty of Navigation.

At the end of 2017, the premiere of the film that turned the actor into a celebrity took place. The fact that Russian producers of a sports drama were looking for an actor with a Baltic accent on the role of basketball player Modestas Paulauskas, Zaitsev learned at the Baltic Agency. But on the second day after the audition, he was offered another role - Sergei Belov, to which he willingly agreed.

For the image of Belov, Kirill became a brunette and grew a mustache. Growth was an important criterion when choosing the actors who were to play basketball players. With this, Kirill Zaitsev "grew together": 194 cm with a weight of 85 kg contributed to an easy entry into the role.
