In 1963, Kanevsky began acting in the cinema. He rarely got major parts, but his characters were always remembered by the viewer. Unfortunately, in 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Leonid immigrated to Israel. But even there he did not leave the acting profession: together with his friend Yevgeny Arie Kanevsky created the dramatic theater "Gesher", in which he plays to this day.

"The Diamond Arm"

Leonid Kanevsky prefers to play character characters. This is his hero - a foreign smuggler - in the film "The Diamond Hand" by Eldar Ryazanov.

It was to this smuggler that Senya Gorbunkov got into an absurd accident, and then she was in the center of criminal events. The character Kanevsky appears on the screens only two times, but the comic moments, during which he swears in an unknown language with his accomplice, are among the most striking in the film.

Buanassie was remembered by the spectator as a petty and vile human, who, for his own well-being, was ready to "sell his mother". Kanevsky was able to convey the character of his hero, to which one involuntarily feels contempt. But it was not without humor, because it was a rare actor's quality that Leonid Kanevsky possessed to provoke sincere laughter.
