Sergey Varchuk

Sergei Ivanovich Varchuk is familiar to the audience for the wonderful melodrama I Can't Say Goodbye. It is noteworthy that this film, which became the "business card" of the actor, turned out to be a student work of a young actor. Then other roles came, but this one remained the star and the main one.

The biography of Sergei Varchuk is closely connected with his hometown of Sverdlovsk. Here he was born in April 1956. Here, in an industrial city, where there was no sea or ocean even close, he began to dream of distant sea voyages and ships.

After graduating from secondary school, the Ural guy went to Leningrad. Here he planned to enter the Higher Marine Engineering School named after Admiral S.O. Makarov. But it didn’t work out: his vision failed. Then Sergey decided that since he could not become the captain of a ship, he could build these ships, and then test them, going out to sea. But here, too, failure: at the Leningrad shipbuilding university, he failed the exam in physics.

In frustrated feelings, Varchuk returned to his hometown. He applied to the local university for the physics department. I studied here for a year, without desire and spark. But at the end of the year, Sergei's landmarks were completely lost. The guy got to the graduation performance of his sister, who studied at the Sverdlovsk theater school. And suddenly I realized that the scene is what the soul of the young man was passionately drawn to.

Having passed the session, Sergei Varchuk went to repay the debt to the country. The young man was drafted into the Air Force. He needed this break in order to finally understand himself, to decide where the young man is drawn most of all.

After serving in the army, the young man already knew which road he would take. He dropped out of university and went to Moscow. Since he did not have any training, he failed to enter a theater university on the first attempt. But Varchuk was not going to leave the chosen path. In the end, he entered the Moscow Art Theater School and was enrolled in a course with the talented artist and mentor Oleg Efremov.

Sergey and fellow students of the guy were jealous. The guys were looked at as already accomplished artists of the Moscow Art Theater, which at that time was directed by Efremov. But it was not an easy time for the student mentor. The theater was torn apart by contradictions, there was a division. Oleg Efremov came to the students tired. Here he rested with his soul and made plans. Efremov dreamed that together with his "artists" he would organize a new youth theater.

Unfortunately, these plans were not destined to come true. And after four years of study, Sergei Varchuk's fellow students, and he himself, faced the prospect of being sent to the outback.

Between the 3rd and 4th years of the theater university, Sergei Varchuk was incredibly lucky. He starred in Boris Durov's melodrama I Can't Say Goodbye.

The young actor got the role of Sergei Vatagin - a guy who became a cripple due to an accident at a felling. The athletic young man was confined to a wheelchair and lost his zest for life. Actress Anastasia Ivanova became Varchuk's partner on the site. The heroine of the artist Lida turned out to be so in love with Sergei that she went to the outback to be close to her beloved and support him at a difficult moment.

The artist himself later shared that during the preparation for filming he talked a lot with doctors working with paralyzed patients. The young man spent a month at the Institute of bone and spinal traumatology.

Just in time for the end of the Moscow Art Theater School, the film was released and turned yesterday's student into a recognizable actor. The beginning artist was in euphoria. It seemed to Sergei that he would be "torn off with his hands" in any theater in the capital where he came.

However, the reality turned out to be different. There were much fewer theaters in the capital in the early 1980s than they are now. And the time turned out to be difficult: the staff reduction was in full swing in Moscow theaters. Famous artists, whose names were known throughout the country, were sent to retirement. And there was no question of getting a job for a young actor. To stay in the capital, a residence permit was required.

Varchuk was saved by the fact that Oleg Efremov managed to achieve that the graduation performance of his course was introduced into the repertoire of the Moscow Art Theater. The production went 4 times a month and brought Sergey 16 rubles in income. It was not possible to live for that kind of money in the capital, but this gave the right to live in Moscow.

The main source of income for the young artist was cinema. After the melodrama of Durov and the leading role played by Varchuk, they know and invite to act. In 1984, he appeared in the films Good Intentions, How to Become Famous and Haste. And even though these films did not bring him popularity, and the roles turned out to be episodic, the young actor was busy.

In 1985-86, the cinematic biography of Sergei Varchuk develops further. He was offered small roles in the films "Moscow Says", "Secret Walk", "Head of the Gorgon" and "Mikhailo Lomonosov". In the last historical tape, he played Green. But there was no role commensurate with Sergei Vatagin from the 1982 film-leader of the box office "I Can't Say Goodbye", which at one time was watched by more than 34 million viewers.

In the second half of the 1980s, Sergei Ivanovich was filmed much more. The following works appear in the artist's filmography: the adventure film "Gorgon's Head" and the melodrama "And All Love ...". A fresh wave of popularity was brought by work in the action movie "Scorched by Kandahar".

"The dashing 90s" turned out to be difficult for the artist, as for most of his colleagues. Muscovites were surprised when they met the famous artist with a broom or a shovel, cleaning the yard. Sergei Varchuk really had to work as a janitor in one of the capital's housing offices for two years, because people of this respected profession were allowed to get service housing, and after 5 years - a residence permit in the capital. The artist was not exactly ashamed of his work, but he was tired of reacting every time to inquiries and surprised looks from Muscovites who recognized the star. He tried to work early in the morning or late in the evening, especially since he went out on the stage during the day.

To the artist's credit, it must be said that he did not leave the theater for a minute in the most difficult times. Today Sergei Varchuk also steps into the stage: he is an actor of the Stanislavsky Theater. Performances with the artist's participation are also staged at the Moon Theater.

Later in an interview, Sergei shared that he is still friends with his ZhEK. The actor sometimes gives them charity concerts for the holidays, and when necessary, they help the former employee with household issues. Varchuk also worked as a private driver. There the man was recognized more often, but the artist rejected it. He said that he just looked like a famous actor.

Despite the cinematic difficulties in the 90s, Sergey still occasionally flashed on the screen. Varchuk played the main role of George in the film "Marked", appeared in the image of Warra - the leader of the Flying Monkeys - in "The Wizard of the Emerald City", played in all seasons of the television series "Impostors" Grisha, husband of Tanya Shalumova.

The dark streak of lack of demand in cinema has passed since the beginning of the XXI century. The audience saw their favorite actor in the historical drama "Russian revolt", based on the story "The Captain's Daughter" by Alexander Pushkin. He got a small, but bright role - the dashing cavalryman Zurin.

You can see Sergei Varchuk in the TV series. The most popular of them are "Turn of the Key", "Secret Sign" and "Gold of Yugra". The work in the last project almost cost the artist his life. When landing at the helicopter in which the actors were located, the rear propeller fell off. The only thing saved from the disaster was that the wheels of the helicopter got bogged down in the shifting sand.

It should be noted the rating projects of Sergei Varchuk "Countess de Monsoro", "Thief", "Drongo", "Five minutes to the metro", "Detective agency" Ivan da Marya "and" Stanitsa ".

The audience also remembered Sergey Varchuk for his work as a presenter. For a long time he hosted the program "Rescue Service". In addition, the artist was the host of the project “Road Patrol. Investigation".

Many heroes of foreign films speak in the voice of Sergei Varchuk. Thus, in The Perfect Kill he voiced David Shaw performed by Viggo Mortensen, in The Bearbear movie - Nick Wells, played by Robert De Niro, in the movie Who Are You, Mr. Brooks? - Kevin Costner as Mr. Earl Brooks.

It is known that the personal life of Sergei Varchuk has developed happily. But it was not always so. The actor's first marriage ended in divorce. After the release of the debut and mega-popular melodrama, Sergei woke up famous. But the main thing for him was the attention that the beautiful Elena finally paid to him. Before that, the girl to whom Sergei showed signs of attention did not even look towards the artist.

Lena married him and gave birth to a daughter, Sasha. But this couple, most likely, did not have true love. Because soon the wife left for the USA, where she found work. The husband was left alone with his daughter. Elena came home less and less. The marriage has outlived its usefulness.

When the actor was already over 40, he met his current wife Olga. The director Boris Durov played a huge role in the life of Sergei Varchuk. He opened this artist to the audience, starring Sergei in the lead role in his wonderful film, and presented a meeting with the love of all life - Olga. The Durov family made friends with her in Vietnam, where the woman came on a business trip. She had the same sad story - her husband went to work in Europe and stayed there.

The Durovs, who had long been friends with Sergei's families, introduced two lonely friends. So a strong couple was created. A month after they met, Sergey and Olga began to live together. The artist's daughter was then seventeen years old. At first, the girl coolly accepted her stepmother: Sasha hoped that her mother would return to them with her father and they would become a family again.

Soon Olga managed to find mutual understanding not only with Sergey's adult daughter, but even with the artist's ex-wife. And two years later, the lovers officially registered the relationship.

The couple really wanted a common child, but Olga did not manage to get pregnant for a long time. Then the couple went to the doctors, but this did not help either. And then a good doctor, a family friend, advised the husband and wife to put it out of their heads and stop thinking about problems. So they did, and two months later Olga found out that she was pregnant.

Today, the son of the actor, Vanya, is growing up in the family. It is noteworthy that both Sergei and Olga dreamed of having a child with that name long before the meeting. Therefore, the decision to name the boy Ivan was unanimous.

Sergey Varchuk's daughter, Alexander, is already an adult. She has her own family. Sasha works as a designer. She has an excellent relationship with her father and his family.

Sasha has a page on the social network "Instagram", where the girl shares her personal and work photos with subscribers. Often, Sergei's daughter uploads pictures with the famous dad.

Sergey Varchuk is madly in love with animals. He claims that every time he sees a stray dog ​​or cat, he can hardly restrain himself from taking the animal home. After all, he already has two dogs and four cats. And all of them were previously homeless.

Sergey and Olga often travel with the whole family. And they go to events together, because without each other they feel uncomfortable.

Today Sergey Varchuk is a happy husband and father of two children. He is loved by Russian viewers, he is often recognized on the street. And although the last film with the participation of the artist was released in 2016, the actor continues to shine on the theater stage.
