Childhood and youth


Mikhail Vasilyevich was born at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War in Samara, where at that time his mother was in evacuation. From the end of the 30s, my father served in the state security organs. Mikhail also had a younger sister.

At the first opportunity, the Zhigalovs returned to Moscow, but soon the family moved again, this time to Czechoslovakia, where the head of the family was sent to serve. There the boy went to school. As a child, Misha has a dream about theater.

When, a few years later, the Zhigalovs returned to the capital of Russia, Mikhail had to adapt to the local everyday and educational realities, which were very different from what he was used to. It was hard for the guy to find a common language with his peers at school and in the yard, not understanding and not accepting their interests.

After graduating from school, Mikhail Zhigalov tried to enter the institute, but did not pass the competition and worked at the plant for a year, doing Komsomol work. The second attempt to become a student was crowned with success, and he entered the Moscow Institute of Chemical Engineering, and after receiving a diploma, he got a job in the laboratory of theoretical filtration of the research institute.

His career was successful, he was even offered to go to England to finish work on a dissertation, which at that time was considered an incredible success. But Zhigalov by that time had already become disillusioned with engineering work and decided to realize his childhood dream - to become an actor.

He quit the research institute and began to study at the drama studio at the Central Children's Theater, then enters his troupe. A few years later, Mikhail Zhigalov was invited to the prestigious Sovremennik Theater, where he is still involved. The artist considers the most successful theatrical works to be the performances "Days of the Turbines", "Plakha", "Cabal of the holy man", "Three sisters".

Movies


Simultaneously with theatrical activity, Mikhail Zhigalov began his film career. In 1972, he made his screen debut as a police lieutenant in the drama The Last Day, which was the first and last directorial experience of the famous actor Mikhail Ulyanov.

Since cinema was not a priority for Zhigalov, he agreed to episodic roles - solely for the sake of experience and additional income. Due to a frivolous attitude to work in cinema, Mikhail at one time refused to play in the film by Dmitry Meskhiev "Gambrinus".

He also did not pass the casting in the film of Alexei German - the elder "My friend Ivan Lapshin", although already in the 80s his filmography began to replenish with vivid images. To believably play the role of a drug addict named Sudar in the film "Petrovka 38", Zhigalov visited a neuropsychiatric dispensary. Soon his repertoire was replenished with vivid images in the films "It's not always summer in the Crimea", "Special Forces", "Lawlessness".

Due to the superficial attitude to the choice of scenarios, the actor did not immediately notice that he was playing only three roles: a man in uniform, bandits and alcoholics, especially since the artist's appearance was conducive to such images. The wiry short figure of Mikhail (height 168 cm and weight 72 kg), his focused gaze and ability to get used to the role were appreciated by the directors.

He even liked to play negative characters, because in order to convey such an image realistically, you need a truly creative approach. But soon Mikhail Vasilyevich was faced with the fact that it was impossible for him to get a role outside this role, since the directors stated that it was impossible to approve for the role of a hero someone who the viewer associates with a thief or a drunkard.

Only in 1990, thanks to the director Marlen Khutsiev, the actor managed to break this stereotype. In the painting "After the Duel," he recreated the image of one of the great Russian intellectuals, poet and diplomat, Prince Peter Vyazemsky. Despite the fact that the film never made it to the big screening, Mikhail Zhigalov warmly recalls this work, believing that Khutsiev saved his career, because the directors ceased to perceive him exclusively as a criminal character, new interesting proposals appeared.

Soon the performer's filmography was replenished with the popular projects "Afghan Breakdown", "House of Dating", "Confession of a kept woman". Mikhail Vasilyevich played the main role in the drama Operation Lucifer, the plot of which echoes the biography and the latest events in the life of Igor Talkov.

In the famous television film “Border. Taiga Romance ”he got the heroic role of the unit commander, Colonel Borzov. In the early 2000s, Zhigalov appeared in the popular projects Turetsky's March, Brigade, and Men's Work.

And in the most popular melodramatic television series of 2005, “Don't Be Born Beautiful,” Zhigalov portrays the father of the main character Valery Sergeevich Pushkarev. This role became not so much dramatic as comedic, as the actor had to create the image of a strict father, overly worried about his daughter and thus aggravating her problems.

And in life, Mikhail, on the contrary, pampers children. By adding a little bit of himself to Pushkarev, he made the character lively and comic. His screen wife was the actress Irina Muravyova, with whom Zhigalov studied on the same course in the studio at the Children's Theater.

In an interview, Mikhail Vasilyevich once noted that in his creative life he played a lot of military men, people in uniform, which he was tired of. But he could not refuse the role of the Hero of the Soviet Union - General Vasily Filippovich Margelov in the film "Airborne Dad". The film became a popular hit.

Since autumn 2013, the STS TV channel has been broadcasting the sports multi-part film Molodezhka, which tells about the fate of the Bears youth hockey team. In this film, Mikhail Zhigalov plays the former head coach of the team, Stepan Arkadyevich, nicknamed Grandfather. The project has become one of the most popular TV series of the channel in recent years, so 6 seasons have been released during its show.

Among the last outstanding works in Zhigalov's repertoire is the crime film "Such a breed", in which he played a representative of the older generation of the Gavrilov family. In 2017, he played a cameo role in the war film "Red Dog".

Mikhail also has another son, Arkady, born in 1983 out of wedlock. With his mother, the translator Regina, Zhigalov had a short romance. But with none of these women, the actor's personal life did not work out.

Mikhail Zhigalov and wife Tatyana

Since 1989, the man has been living in a civil marriage with Tatyana Zhigalova, a doctor by profession, whom he met in the hospital when he was being treated for bad habits. In 1991, they had a daughter, Anna Zhigalova, who is called Nyuta in the family. In 2002, Mikhail and Tatiana officially signed at the registry office.

Arkady is the only child who tried to follow in his father's footsteps: he graduated from a theater university, starred in episodes of several films, but later focused on directing.
