In the series The Help, Anton Denisenko turned into detective Maxim. His hero works a lot, but does not succeed so quickly in his work. Subsequently, the detective opens his own bureau, and his life changes.

“I spent 4 months in Kyiv, and during this time the city opened up for me from a different side. I have become good at navigating the center, I have many acquaintances and have found places in which I feel comfortable. And now, when I come to Kyiv, I no longer feel like a guest. When my wife flew to me, almost like a local, I showed her Podol, Andreevsky Descent, Khreshchatyk, Bessarabsky Market... We had a great time, tried Ukrainian dishes, walked a lot. Kyiv made a very pleasant impression on my wife. I’m sure she will fly to me again,” said Anton.

He complained that due to the fact that the break between “Three Days Before Kohannya” and “The Help” was not long, Anton did not have time to change his appearance much. But I worked on the character’s inner world, because Soldatov was serious, but Maxim was supposed to be cheerful, and even a bit of a loser, but over the course of the series he changes a lot.

“If we evaluate Maxim’s actions, then in the context of the whole story, he acts as he sees fit at that moment. The most interesting thing is that over the course of 12 episodes he changes. He started out as a failed detective, and over time he becomes more mature and reasonable. It’s always a pleasure to work with such scripts,” the actor praised his character.

He also said that he became very friendly with Valeria Khodos, the second main character, Martha. They could either rehearse together or just sit and laugh at themselves and their characters.
