Vitaliy Kovalenko

Vitaly Kovalenko is from Kazakhstan, studied in Yekaterinburg, lives and works in St. Petersburg, and travels to Moscow for shooting. He gained popularity among viewers after playing the role of Napoleon in the TV series "Adjutants of Love".

Actor Vitaly Kovalenko was born on September 1, 1974 in an ordinary Pavlodar family. Neither mother nor father had anything to do with theater and cinema. Parents did not share their son's hobby for theater, they hoped that after school the interest would disappear and Vitaly would enter a polytechnic or medical institute.

The young man fell ill with the theater at school, when he first came to the studio "Debut". At the age of 16, Vitaly Kovalenko clearly knew that he would enter a theater university - there was a strong team and a strong teacher in the studio. Surprisingly, even the teacher Vyacheslav Petrov did not want a promising student to become a professional actor - too complex and ambiguous craft.

Vitaly admits that he felt uncertainty and could not fully understand whether he needed it. And yet, having received a certificate, Kovalenko, in the company of seven friends, went to enroll in St. Petersburg. Six fellow travelers immediately failed in the competition, Kovalenko hoped that he had a chance, and went with friends to Moscow for the company.

Friends were late for the entrance exams and decided to try their luck in Yekaterinburg. The first attempt was unsuccessful - Vitaly failed. The young man spent a year attending performances and participating in extras, moonlighting as a driver, getting a job at a furniture factory, then at a thermal power station.

The next year, the dream came true, and Vitaly became a student at the Yekaterinburg Theater Institute. By that time, the parents had come to terms with the son's choice and began to support him. In 1996, Vitaly received an actor's diploma. Since then, began a difficult, but ultimately successful theatrical biography of Kovalenko.

For the first time, Vitaly felt the taste of theater when he was in his third year. Students passed the test on excerpts of Russian classics, Kovalenko got the role of Astrov from "Uncle Vanya".

In 2002, Vitaly Kovalenko was invited to the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. The artist accepted the invitation, although the decision was difficult. Friends, professional and understanding directors remained in the "Red Torch". The first seven years, the actor regretted the move. According to Vitaly, Alexandrinka is a complex theater whose space needs to be conquered.

Kovalenko felt free only in the play "The Seagull", in which he played Shamaev. This role is not the main one - the hero appears on the stage 4 times and changes clothes 3 times.
