Actor Pirogov Kirill: biography, creativity, photo

Many viewers consider him the most charming actor in Russian cinema. Some respect his creativity, others - with adoration watch films with his participation. In this article we will talk about the life and creative path of a famous theater and film actor named Pirogov Cyril.

Childhood and adolescence

The future actor was born on September 4, 1973 in Iran, where his father was engaged in labor activity (export of products), and his mother taught Russian. Due to the fact that his father was always busy, the mother devoted all her free time to raising her son. That's why Pirogov Kirill grew up as a comprehensively developed boy who, from an early age, spoke fluent English and French.

Also, Cyril liked to practice fencing and go to the theater studio. Perhaps the latter fact played a decisive role in choosing a profession. Despite the plans of his parents, Cyril decided to "plunge" into acting.

Training

Among all the educational institutions, the choice of Cyril fell on the Shchukin School, in which he was accepted on the first attempt. The young man turned out to be a student in the course of Vladimir Ivanov.

After completing her studies in 1994, Pirogov was lucky enough to get a role in a theatrical performance organized by the students of GITIS and the Shchukin school. The performance was called "Noise and Fury". After the show, there was an unprecedented event - Kirill Pirogov was invited to Peter Fomenko in his "Workshop". Previously, none of the graduates did not immediately go to this well-known troupe. According to Cyril himself, he then turned out to be "under the wing" of the teacher not only in the profession, but also in life.

The beginning of the creative path

With new strength and fresh looks, the young actor began his work on the stage of the theater at Fomenko. Here he got completely different roles, in which the young talent was revealed from different sides. In particular, in the play titled "Wolves and Sheep" Pirogov Cyril played the role of Claudius Gorodetsky - a negative hero. And in the production of the novel "War and Peace" he showed the image of a nobleman, performing the role of Nicholas Rostov. In addition, Cyril participated in such productions as "Month in the Country", "Mad from Chaillot", etc.

Debut in the cinema

The beginning of work in the film industry turned out to be no less successful for the actor. Thus, the very first opportunity to appear in the cinema, which Pirogov Cyril received, was the main role in the film of the famous director Georgy Danelia. This happened in the distant 1995. The director chose Cyril, despite his utter failure at the castings in this film. During the filming, Danelia showed great patience in working with Pirogov, who was experiencing great excitement. Actor still managed to present the audience with the image of the idealist Oleg in the film "Eagle and Tails".

Shooting in movies

For the whole five years Kirill did not receive invitations to appear in films. But here again came to the rescue a happy opportunity: Pirogov was offered a role in the film work of Alexei Balabanov "Brother 2", which was released in 2000. As the director later admitted, he noticed the actor on another casting and he liked the "dynamic" face of Pirogov. So, in the most popular film, which won the hearts of millions of viewers, Ilya of Network played exactly Kirill Pirogov. The actor after this film did not sit idle - he immediately offered to star in the movie "Sisters", where he fell a negative role. Again, Cyril was satisfied with the creators of the tape, and the audience - the image of the villain was conveyed reliably.

Separately, film critics note the participation of the actor in the film directed by Kirill Serebrennikov called "Rostov-Pope, or South Decameron." It was necessary to play a young man who was madly in love with his girlfriend from childhood.

Acting career: our days

According to many kinomanov, one of the fateful roles for Pirogov was the image of a scoundrel in the serial film "The Diaries of the Murderer", also filmed by the director Serebrennikov. In this tape, Cyril showed the audience a complex character, but at the same time an ordinary person. The hero, by the will of fate, was suppressed by terrible events in his life and after that he did not continue to live, but simply to exist.

No less exciting role of Pirogov was in the TV series "The Red Capella", where he happened to play a mute. Of course, the hero did not have words, but Cyril managed to convey all his experiences to the public with the help of gestures and live facial expressions. Participating in this film, even greater popularity was acquired by Kirill Pirogov, whose photo is adorned with our article.

Also, the actor starred in the multi-series project "Doctor Zhivago", where Gyrdon became the hero of Cyril. This film does not accurately convey the content of the novel, but its main essence is not lost. In recent years, Pirogov managed to take part in such films as "Triptych", "Admirer", "Admiral", television series "Revelations."

"Slicing" from personal life
