— How did you end up in the series “Fizruk”? How long did the audition take?
— Participation in such a project is not always a quick story. About four months passed between my first visit to the casting and the invitation to audition with Foma.
— How did you like working with such actors as Dmitry Nagiyev and Viktor Sukhorukov?
- Fine. When a master is on site with you, it mobilizes.
— What do you think of this type of man like Foma? Do you like brutals?
— Since childhood, I liked the image of an action comedy hero: Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others. But in life there is not a single person with such a set of qualities. So, my attitude towards the so-called “brutals” is the same as towards dragons and talking mice.
— Do you understand the main character - a man from the dashing 90s? His actions, image, style of behavior? What do you know about those harsh times?
— Yes, I probably understand it, I managed to capture a little of the 90s. I was probably lucky - it was the least difficult time in my life. It seemed to many that something depended on them, that they had the power to change reality, and looked into the future with curiosity. Today everything looks more severe.
— Do you already realize that after the premiere of the fourth season you will become more recognizable? How do you feel about fame?
- It will probably appear. My lifestyle is not very suitable for recognition and fame. But I think this wave will subside over time.
— Tell us how you came into the profession?
— I came into the profession from college. And already being in the profession, I continue to learn every day.
— What are you doing now besides cinema?
— I work at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. There is always something new being worked on here.
— Which actor is your idol and why?
— One of my idols is actress Irina Gorbacheva. I would rather erect a monument to her, and not to a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Watch the final season of the series “Fizruk” from Monday to Thursday at 21.30 on TNT.
