Actor biography
Timofey Karataev is a young and successful Russian actor, whose talent first appeared on television screens in 2007. In a short career, he was able to reach unprecedented heights on the big stage and theater stage. He started gradually with supporting characters and gradually reached a high level; now he is offered only key roles in top-rated films and TV series. Our hero's creative streak began to manifest itself in his childhood, so let's move to the capital of Russia in 1986 to find the answer to the immediate takeoff of his career.
On December 9, the future actor Timofey was born in Moscow. His parents were very far from the world of cinema and the theater stage, despite this, their upbringing influenced the development of the boy’s talent. The young man grew up in a intact family and entered the first grade of a local high school.
Since childhood, he was fond of cinema and loved to visit cinemas in any free time. A dream arose in his heart to become a professional actor and every year it grew and grew until it finally turned Karataev’s head. As a school student, he attended drama school after school hours. At the same time, our hero’s new creative hobby appeared; he attended reading competitions several times, for which he received the highest awards.
Timofey’s parents did not put a spoke in the talented guy’s wheels and fully approved of his choice of life path. After successfully completing his studies at school, he decides to take an important step and submits documents to the M. Shchepkin Theater School. As a result, he was enrolled in V.I. Korshunov’s course. During his student years, the young man diligently began to comprehend the secrets of the acting craft and from the first year he was distinguished by high academic performance.
Teachers noted his perseverance and predicted a successful future on the theater stage and in big cinema. Outside the window it was 2007, when our hero became a prize-winner in the Maria Yermolova reading competition and received an honorary award. A year later, he competes at the international level and only receives a bronze place, but this does not sadden the guy at all because everything is still ahead.
His debut performance in the play took place while still studying at the theater school; he tried on the role of Yegorushka in the play “Poverty is not a vice” on the stage of the Maly Theater. It was a successful performance, during which the guy was able to show all his talent, which pleasantly surprised the teachers and spectators. As a result, other offers rained down on him.
Timofey played significant roles in the classics “Hamlet”, “Invitation to the Castle”, “Profitable Place”.

A new period of young talent begins - a professional career. He plays the main role of Kai in the play “The Snow Queen”, the baron in “Tsar Boris”, Mr. Masterov “Children of the Sun”.
He also has the production of “The Heirs of Rabourdin” and “Smart Things” under his belt.

Timofey Karataev in films and TV series
As for film and television work, in this regard everything is quite ambiguous for the Russian actor.
Already in 2009, Timofey Karataev played two fairly large roles in the series “Gypsies” and the television film “Children of the White Goddess”. Almost immediately after this, our today’s hero was cast in the role of Alexander, the main character of the Russian science-fiction thriller “Phobos.” Fear Club." This project brought enormous success to the aspiring actor, but Timofey failed to gain a foothold in the positions he had gained. The Sniffer is one of the latest works by Timofey Karataev. Official trailer After his first prominent role, his work on television began to fade away again. Our today's hero starred in the Russian-Ukrainian comedy "Dads", and then appeared in the detective drama "Run" and the historical film "Furtseva. The Legend of Catherine". Timofey Karataev starred with such Russian cinema stars as Dmitry Nagiyev, Irina Rozanova, Maxim Averin, but was often just a pale shadow against their background. As a rule, the young guy only got small cameo roles. The only exception to this rule was the comedy “A Little About Myself,” in which Timofey got a fairly large role as a successful young man in love with one of the central heroines.
After this, a new series of small cameo roles began in the career of our today’s hero. The only outlet for the actor was the theater. As a result, it was he who helped Timofey survive difficult times and return to the world of television with renewed vigor.
In 2012, the Russian actor played a fairly large role in the family comedy Five Stars. After this, Timofey Karataev appeared in the romantic mini-series “If I Were a Queen” and the military drama “The Spaniard.” In each of these projects, our today's hero played minor roles, but against the backdrop of past works, all this could be considered a real success. Timofey Karataev's career moved smoothly upward. And very soon the happy story had a continuation.

The year 2013 was especially successful in terms of career for the young Russian. During this period, he starred in the Ukrainian TV series “The Sniffer”, and also played the main role in the joint Ukrainian-Russian melodrama “You Will Be Mine”. After this, two main roles appeared in the filmography of our today’s hero - in the mini-series “Life Will Judge” and the melodrama “From a Clean Slate”. The actor’s role in the romantic film “The Shores” was somewhat less significant.
Timofey Karataev is currently working on his new roles. His career is steadily moving upward. And the new role of our today’s hero will certainly be another clear confirmation of this. In this film, a Muscovite will play the main role. Judging by the film's budget, which is already $1.5 million at an early stage, the project promises to be quite large-scale.
