Actor Alexander Volkov: biography, private life

The life of the actor is changeable and unpredictable. This statement was reflected in the creative development of Alexander Volkov.

Childhood and youth

The Volkov family lived in the village of Snegiri near Moscow. Parents were far from creativity, especially from cinema and theater. Gennady Mikhailovich worked as a modeler, Tatyana Vasilievna was engaged in home and children. The family grew up three children, two boys and a girl. One of them is the famous actor Alexander Volkov.

Sasha was born on September 21, 1975. In the first place for the boy was not studying at school, but physical development. School classes he attended without much enthusiasm, so he wanted to get a certificate quickly and do what he liked. Alexander wanted to become a professional boxer. He brought up rigor in himself, was engaged in kickboxing. The ideal for the young man was Van Damme. But, according to the coach, for boxing it is necessary to be more cruel and aggressive.

The school is behind us. Boxing is closed. Alexander tries himself in different professions: carpenter, carpenter, advertising agent, security guard. The understanding comes quickly enough: one must obtain a higher education. So a mediocre student becomes a diligent student.

Students

The choice of the son was a complete surprise for the parents. Sasha did not want to connect his life with the cinema. But they respected his independence and allowed him to solve such important issues of his own destiny.

The future actor Alexander Volkov enters the preparatory courses of L. Yu. Cherkova. Her statement about the right of a person to go on the stage has sunk into his soul. To retain this right and to be able to use it all his life pushed Sasha to continue his studies.

The young man becomes a student of VGIK named after S. Gerasimov. Courses G. Taratorkina were the best option. 2001 is the year of the receipt of the actor's diploma and the start of professional activity. In parallel, Volkov learns another profession - a stuntman. Physical training, boxing only helped to master the implementation of complex tricks.

Theatrical career

It was great to work as a stuntman. But acting gave more scope for the development of talent. Immediately after the completion of his studies, actor Alexander Volkov enters the troupe of the Nikolai Gogol Theater in Moscow. Here he worked for five years. The brightest performances were "The King is amused" and "The Last Lover is always the best." Alexander plays in many performances, honing his skills.

In 2006, a new turn in his life makes Volkov Alexander Gennadievich. The actor moves to the private theater "World of Art". Here he plays in plays "Pomegranate Bracelet" (Yolkov) and "Mother's Heart" (Vitka).

Participation in the project "Peter Pan. Online-version "gave Sasha the opportunity to play the role of Captain Hook. At the end of 2012, the actor begins to serve in the Maly Theater. His debut as Francis I in the presentation of the play "Secrets of the Madrid Court" opened up new facets of his artistry. Ahead was a new steep career break.

The beginning of a new life

Actor Alexander Volkov started acting in films with small roles. The first appearance on the screen occurred in the image of a bodyguard in 2002 (the film "The Secret Sign"). Serious work in cinematography began with the role of paratrooper Dmitry Sokolov in 2005 ("Rope from the sand"). For the fate of the main character was watched not only by a large audience of the series, but even the father and mother of the actor. Parents were convinced of the right choice of a profession by their son.

But only the following role of the noble prince Repin considers his luck as Volkov Alexander Gennadyevich. The actor suffered many difficulties in order to play the role of aristocrat. Posture, gestures, growing up and aging with his hero were not easy, but they were worth it. According to the artist himself, there is nothing aristocratic in his appearance. Even the natural stoop was against him. But the role was presented perfectly.

Popularity

The real triumph was shooting in the movie "Return of Mukhtar." The protagonist Maxim Zharov was not such as, according to Volkov, there should be a hero. Too perfect. But it was living in this image that brought fame and love to the audience. Playing in the frame with the dog for the actor was a new challenge. He never had a dog. To the shepherd obeyed and played the host's commands, it was necessary to live with her, take care and caress her. Alexander and Mukhtar (real name of the dog Vaks von Weissrund Kirschental) became friends. The actor refused further shooting without his constant partner.

But without work, the actor Alexander Volkov did not remain. Biography as if compensated for his unrealizable dream: to engage in boxing. Popularity is gaining momentum. The films "The Lights of the Big City", "Pechorin. Hero of our time". A sensational series "The Wedding Ring" moved the actor to a new stage of popularity. In the role of Igor Gritsenko, the actor had the opportunity to create the image himself. The real Alexander is the exact opposite of his movie hero. But there are common features, the main of which is that they are both from the village.

Of the latest works are known movies "Upside Down", "Believe Me", "Moscow - Lopushki", "Dog Red."

Personal life

The creative way is thorny. Very good, when there is a deep and reliable rear - the wife of Alexander Volkov. The actor attracted this girl in her youth. The family of Taisia in the village of Snegiri had a dacha. The family of the future wife moved the young man to higher education. Mom did not want to give his daughter to marry a man without a diploma. Mutual understanding and support of his wife helped to finish the courses stuntmen. Only there you can feel your masculine essence, says the actor.

Alexander and Taisia were married in their student years. With such a wonderful wife, the personal life of actor Alexander Volkov has developed quite safely. Soon after the wedding they had a daughter, Alexandra Alexandrovna. Now the family is growing up two heirs - Nikolai and George.

In his native village the Volkov family has a huge house. His wide arms embrace all the numerous friends. Everyone has a place, warmth and love. Here hospitably receive guests. Here, Roy, the son of the famous parent, who once played the role of Mukhtar together with the master, found his refuge.

Although there is not much free time, but every minute Alexander Volkov tries to spend with his family. The actor and his wife are fond of landscape design. Alpine hills, a pond with fish create a paradise on their native land in the suburbs.

Loves Alexander to sit with a fishing rod. To mankind is philosophical: on Earth all people can be divided into two categories - good and bad. All the rest (age, nationality, financial position) does not matter.
