In his youth he refused to act in “Brother”

A still from the series “Univer”
- What is more difficult for you – working in the theater or on the set?

— In both theater and cinema, it is important for an actor to find his director, and for a director to find an actor. Those who haven’t found it are problematic people, complex people. I am a complex person, unfortunately. I haven't found my director.

You know, when I was still a student, I was scared and refused to act with Alexei Balabanov in “Brother.” I won’t say that they offered me a big role, no, we were students then, young, with impudent eyes, and we could have played some bandit in this film.

But it was Balabanov! And I was scared...

My classmate went to see him, then he said, “he drinks so much, we didn’t smell that much”... Then I really regretted it, because Balabanov is one of the great directors of our time.

Well, then it didn’t work out, I didn’t find my person either in the theater or in the cinema who would offer me the very role that would suit me.

Joaquin Phoenix waited for “The Master,” waited for “Joker,” “for his guys.” And in Gus Van Sant’s film you can see that there is “chemistry” there. And “chemistry” decides a lot in our business. Not ratings, not popularity - the most important thing in our profession is the trust of one person to another.

When he was a boy, he dreamed of flying into space. But after graduating from school, Alexey chose between ordinary educational institutions - a nautical school and an institute of railway transport. In the end, he chose the second option, since the institute was within walking distance from the house where he lived. A year later, Klimushkin decided to leave the railway institute, realizing that he would not work in his specialty. He got a job at the Youth Theater, but not as an actor - first as a watchman, and then as a lighting technician, after which he was drafted into the army.

After serving in the navy, Alexey again applied to a theater university. In 1987 he was accepted into the theater institute.
