Sergey Koshonin: biography and creativity

There are a lot of actors that we remembered from the roles in the series. At the beginning of the 2000th, thanks to the participation in several seasons of "Slaughter Force", St. Petersburg actor Sergey Koshonin became famous. The first of his filming took place in the late seventies, but he received national love only after this series. Since then, he is often invited to shoot, but the main roles are no longer offered.

Carier start

Since childhood Sergei Koshonin dreamed of becoming a military man. For this he wanted to enter the Gorelov School, but eventually he went to a theatrical competition. Despite the lack of training, his talent was noticed and enrolled the youth in the ranks of students. It is worth noting that at that time he already had minimal experience on the acting path - he played Igor in the film "The Diary of the Principal". At that time he studied in the 8th grade and got on the set completely by accident - liked the director. Oleg Borisov, who was busy in this film, persuaded Sergei to go to GITIS.

Sergey Anatolievich Koshonin acted accidentally in LGITMIK. He went to the institute of interest, decided to see what is needed for admission. He purposely did not prepare anything, and he distinguished himself from other entrants. Instead of a musical number, he played a simple melody on aluminum spoons. His course was quite strong, along with Sergei on the student bench sat Igor Sklyar and Andrei Krasko.

"Destructive force"

You can not talk about Sergey's biography without mentioning his most famous role. On the set Sergey Kosonin came along with his friend. For a long time the director could not decide how to distribute roles between them. Sergei initially had to get the role of Zhora Lyubimov, but again everything settled the case - Verigin's suit did not fit his partner in the series and friend - Eugene Ganelin.
For this role, Sergey Koshonin (actor) received the title of "Honored Artist of the Russian Federation". With the partners on the series, he parted friends, but with the producers dialogues were not always peaceful - because of a small scandal, Sergei did not even take pictures in South Africa and America.

Around the same time, the actor starred in other series about power structures. In 2010, together with Yevgeny Leonov-Gladyshev (who played Shishkin in "Slaughter Force"), he visited the Kalashnikov plant, the history of this weapon master became the basis for the series "Honor I have", where he took part.

Personal life

Sergey Koshonin (actor) is married. His companion of life Lolita is engaged in the economy and educates his son Ivan. They met at Lenfilm, where she worked as a playboy-decorator. The actor repeatedly noted that he was very lucky with his wife. In order that the family did not need anything, he made every effort. At a time when wages were very small, he even moonlighted as a private driver after the main work in the theater, and later became a businessman at all.

Some time ago, gossip began to dissolve about the actor's family. The media reported that Sergei Kosonin is the father of his daughter's daughter Anastasia Melnikova (starred in "The Streets of Broken Lanterns" as investigator Abdulova). It is not known what became the cause of speculation, but the actor's family endured this scandal stubbornly. Probably, it happened because of the participation of actors in the play "Scandalous incident ...", where Sergei played the lover of Anastasia. In the same performance, he acted as a producer.

Why did Sergei leave the theater

One of the most beloved actors is Sergey Koshonin. Films with his participation are recognizable by the people, but recently he began to appear less and less often on the screens. The fact is that recently he was increasingly attracted to business. He became quite a successful producer. This he was engaged in earlier, just now began to give the promotion of performances and performers more time.

"Go into business" made him want. The actor did not want his family needed, so at first he took up the promotion of the gypsy group "Cabriolet", and later began promoting the performances. Producing was the only way for Sergey to stay in the theater. For a long time he was forced to abandon roles in the movie, as the director did not let him go. In the theater they paid little and did not give to earn on other projects. It was more like a vicious circle, only business was helping out of it.

It is interesting that all of its members worked for the well-being of the family in difficult years for the Koshonins. Son Ivan followed in the footsteps of his father and at the age of 13 played the first role in the cinema. He voiced a lot of American cartoons, than often earning more than his father. Perhaps, it was the example of the child who pushed Sergei to the decision to quit the theater. Nevertheless, as an actor he did not lose the scene, he continues to do his favorite thing at the same time as producing.
