Childhood and youth
Oleg was born in October 1972 in Leningrad. During his school years, he changed three educational institutions: the family constantly moved, solving the housing problem. The boy's favorite pastime was rehearsing in the Rainbow variety group. There Almazov found true friends with whom he still maintains relations.

Actor Oleg Almazov
After school, the young man wanted to enter the theater, but doubted his own abilities. Mom insisted on a communications institute. Oleg did not turn out to be an engineer: with “tails” after each session and a huge number of certificates about missing lectures “due to illness,” the future artist lasted only two courses and went to television.
He worked as an administrator of the concert department for a year and, trusting in fate, ended up at the acting department of LGITMiK, on the course of Tovstonogov’s student, Professor Irina Malochevskaya. In parallel with his studies, Almazov got a job at Eldoradio and entered the top 3 best presenters. One day, a listener called the studio and was about to commit suicide. Oleg talked with him for an hour and a half and dissuaded him from a reckless act.

True, Oleg Almazov himself admitted that he once almost became a hostage of love during the filming process of one of the films and practically fell in love with his colleague, but, fortunately, he was able to take himself into hands.
Oleg spends all his free time from work with his beloved. They love to go to the sea to spend several pleasant weeks there. There are photos on the Internet that show the actor with his wife, as well as during work.
Theater and films
In search of a suitable place to serve Melpomene, Oleg visited the Classical Theatre, the Comedian's Shelter, the Traditional Author's Theatre, the Baltic House and the Liteiny Theater. He took part in the production of “Fugitive Airplane” at the Taky Theater and played Joseph Brodsky in “Vacuum”. In addition, the actor got roles in the plays “Anna” and “Lefty” at ON.TEATR.

Oleg Almazov on the theater stage
As a result, Almazov said that he had never found his native stage, which is why he was floating freely. Now he shines in the one-man show “Conversation in Conversation” at the Chelyabinsk Chamber Theater and in the image of Claudius in the interpretation of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, performed by the St. Petersburg Malyshchitsky Chamber Theater.
Oleg’s cinematic biography began at the turn of the century with the tragicomedy “Exit” about the misadventures of a metropolis resident.
In the film “Time to Collect Stones,” which tells about the work of sappers in the post-war period, viewers saw the artist in the form of a club manager. In the series “Angel Heart” Almazov played a prosecutor, in the film “Alla in Search of Alla” he played the main role of a random passer-by who helps the heroine restore her memory.
Oleg was reincarnated as a doctor in the films “Doctor” and “Unformat”, as a businessman in the film “Instead of Her”, as a psychologist in “Always Say “Always””. In “Secrets of the Investigation” he became a journalist, in “Fierce” he became a policeman. The actor’s name appears in the credits of the projects “Happy Chance” and “The Illusion of Happiness”, “Deadly Force” and “Sea Devils”, “Gangster Petersburg” and “The Last Voyage of Sinbad”. He created vivid images in the films “Cold Calculation” and “Alien Nest.”

Oleg Almazov on the set of the film “A Woman Cleans Up Order”
Almazov’s character in “A Non-Random Meeting” is based on the oligarch Oleg Deripaska. The men have similarities in appearance, and the height is the same - 182 cm.
The actor says about himself that he is a person who likes to constantly surprise his fans. Fans fully confirm the idol’s words, because the role of Ivan Tsarevich in the mini-series “New Year’s Happiness” came as a surprise to many. The tale tells the story of four strangers who are forced to unite for a common goal.
The films “Unidentified”, “Raid” and “The Far Side of the Moon - 2” with the participation of Oleg continued the already familiar list of films in which criminal showdowns became the basis of the plot.

Oleg Almazov in the film “Moscow Greyhound”
In 2017, the film “Alien Happiness” was released on the Rossiya-1 TV channel. This multi-part film tells the story of the complex relationships between childhood friends, whom circumstances turn into rivals. The main characters are ready to overcome any obstacles in order to find happiness in their personal lives, even if for this they have to sacrifice someone else’s. Almazov played just one of the sides of the love triangle. The other two are represented by Yulia Galkina and Ivan Zhidkov.
The audience appreciated this film, demanding that the creators continue the fascinating story. Oleg’s role was discussed on social networks, including on Instagram, and was considered one of the artist’s best works. Almazov himself does not use the capabilities of the Internet platform, but does not refuse fans joint photos, and participates in charity and advertising events held there.
The actor appeared in detective stories with similar plots, “The Bloodhound” and “Moscow Greyhound,” in the social drama “Plant,” which failed at the box office, and in the long-running project about Major Cherkasov, “Operation Satan.” Oleg does not always get leading roles, but he is also memorable in the episodes. The celebrity does not hide the secrets of success among the viewer, since they simply do not exist.

Each person is individual, and everyone has their own recipes. I can only share my small observations, but if it worked for me, it won't necessarily work for anyone else.
Almazov also works on the other side of the screen: he voices foreign films. The artist believes that it is not difficult to speak for Bruce Willis, but the way it turned out in “Pulp Fiction” does not suit him. And the blockbuster “Avatar” is remembered for the fact that the American producers, fearing piracy, did not show a single frame and limited themselves to only the characters’ lines.
Biography of a famous artist
The actor was born on October 16, 1972 in Leningrad. During his school years, he had to change educational institutions three times. The fact is that Oleg’s family quite often changed their place of residence due to an unresolved housing issue, which, however, was soon resolved.
Since childhood, little Almazov was attracted by the stage, and therefore he was sent to a pop club, where he performed until the age of ten. It was in the Rainbow circle that he met people with whom he remains in close contact to this day.
After graduating from school, the actor’s dreams were to enter a theater institute, but his parents insisted on LEIS and Almazov entered it, although the actor was never able to graduate successfully. Several fateful meetings took place at the same university, which brought the actor into the world of theater and cinema. In the first case, Oleg Vladimirovich Almazov meets the person who brought him to the radio, the second meeting instilled a love for theatrical art, and the third helped him star in his debut film.
Personal life
Oleg lives in a civil marriage because he does not believe in the power of a stamp in his passport. In addition, before my eyes there are negative examples from the environment: there are acquaintances whom a trip to the registry office did not save from subsequent separation. His wife Irina Panfilova, a choreographer by profession, is apparently also satisfied with this state of affairs. The couple has no children.

From time to time, rumors appear about the actor’s affairs with other women; he was even credited with a relationship with Tatyana Bulanova. Almazov says that he has been friends with Tatyana for a long time, but there is no hint of love. The actor admitted that once on set he developed a crush on his partner and threatened to develop into something more, but he overcame his passion and pulled himself together.
Oleg has a busy work schedule, leaving little time for the woman he loves. In January, when there are several free weeks, the couple goes to the sea to be alone, away from the outside world. If you have to arrive early in the morning for filming, he has a bottle of mineral water for breakfast. If there is nowhere to rush, a man prefers to eat a hearty meal, drink coffee and listen to his favorite music. Almazov is a fan of blues rock and soul jazz. There are no specific idols, but he would not hesitate to buy a ticket to a Queen concert.
Personal life of Oleg Almazov
Oleg Almazov’s personal life took shape a long time ago - more than seventeen years ago he met choreography teacher Irina Panfilova, who became his only woman. It is noteworthy that the woman is Oleg Almazov’s common-law wife, since they have not yet entered into an official marriage. The couple still does not have children, but they both believe that someday this will definitely happen and they will become happy parents.

The actor himself has repeatedly stated that he and his wife have an excellent, warm relationship, which, in his opinion, does not depend at all on the stamp in the passport.
“Why do you need a stamp in your passport? If people love each other, then they do not need to officially prove it, and if not, then no stamp will save their relationship. I love my wife very much. I am happy that I got this woman. Everything is fine with us. We really want a child, but it’s not working out yet. We don't lose hope."
There are quite a lot of rumors about the actor’s personal life, and he is constantly credited with all sorts of romantic relationships with Russian pop stars, but the artist himself urges his fans not to believe all this and calls himself a monogamist. So, earlier he was credited with an affair with Tatyana Bulanova and was even said that the lovers were planning to leave their other halves in order to start their own family. As it turned out, the artists have exclusively friendly relations.
Oleg Almazov now
Oleg regularly pleases his fans with news from his creative life. The dependence of the acting profession forces him to be unprincipled in choosing roles, and he does not refuse invitations: he may not be invited a second time. Although deep down in his soul a man dreams of the moment when, like Konstantin Khabensky, he begins to make decisions himself.
