Childhood and family of Andrei Barilo
Andrei’s hometown was Siauliai, his entire childhood was spent in Lithuania (now the actor’s parents and older sister live in the Krasnodar region).
My father was a military man, he served as a communications engineer, and my mother was a nurse in a military unit. The family had three children. Andrey has an older sister and brother. It is not surprising that both Andrei and his older brother spent most of their time in the unit. They were able to accurately determine the model of a flying airplane by sound. Andrey and his peers studied at the flying club. The boy made his first parachute jump at the age of thirteen. Already at fourteen, he could fly a glider on his own, and also performed aerobatic maneuvers at high altitude with an instructor. According to this instructor, the boy would make an excellent pilot. Andrei’s older brother is today a Boeing commander; he works for Transaero. The parents were sure that their youngest son would also become a military man. According to Andrei, his brother Yuri was named in honor of Gagarin, which is probably why he became a pilot. His parents named him after Andrei Mironov; most likely, this influenced his irresistible craving for cinema.
Movie
Real popularity came to Andrei Barilo thanks to cinema. His screen debut took place in the early 90s. His first prominent film role was Valery, the capital’s rake in the film “The Thief.” In 1992, he played the main role in the film “Running on the Sunny Side.”

The actor became widely known for his work in the TV series “General Therapy.” His hero is Andrei Lazarev, who is distinguished by his irresponsible attitude towards his former family, in particular his son.
“I have never divided heroes into negative and positive. I love playing complex characters. If it’s not written out like that in the script, then you need to come up with something yourself,” says Barilo.
In 2013, Andrey played Valera in Yuri Vasiliev’s full-length New Year’s comedy “The Toy Seller” - he starred with the famous Pierre Richard.

More often the guys performed Nautilus and Tsoi, which were incredibly popular in the eighties.

Andrey went to Moscow to enroll. His parents believed in him and were not against the choice of their youngest son. He tried to enter all the capital's theater universities. He was accepted into the Shchukin School. Andrey took the course of V. Ivanov. His fellow students were Maria Aronova and Kirill Pirogov.
Together with Aronova, Andrei came up with an interesting parody of Pushkin’s Onegin, namely the scene where Onegin meets Tatiana. The guys were a success, the parody turned out brilliantly. This was invented specifically for their graduation performance.

Despite the fact that the young man was drawn to aviation and airplanes, deep down he dreamed of an acting career. Barilo tried to watch all the films that were broadcast on TV. He often went to the cinema, looking for interesting new releases, followed the news of world cinema, and studied the biographies of famous artists.
At some point, the guy became fascinated by music and learned to play the guitar. In high school, Andrei even formed a musical group, to which he invited his school friends. This group was invited to all school events, where young musicians performed compositions by the Nautilus group and Viktor Tsoi.
After receiving the certificate, Andrei moves to Moscow and enters the Shchukin School on the course of Vladimir Ivanov.

Andrey is reluctant to talk about his personal life in an interview. It is known that he has two daughters - Sasha and Katya. They are no longer small, Sasha graduated from school, Katya is a high school student. Both are creative people. Their father was proud of them.
On the set of “General Therapy,” Andrei met an actress named Alexandra Solyankina. Today she is his girlfriend.

They have a tradition of wishing each other happy birthday and giving gifts at midnight. In an interview, Andrey said that these gifts are unexpected. So, he gave Alexandra a coffee machine instead of an engagement ring. According to him, coffee is their favorite drink.
During the filming of “A Medical Secret,” the actor had to smoke on camera more than once. Andrei did not smoke at that time, so it was difficult to casually smoke cigarette after cigarette. He claims that after that he felt bad. There is footage where Barilo is seen holding a cigarette “incorrectly”. By the way, he smokes now. It is possible that the beginning was made on the set of this series.

In the nineties, the actor was supposed to start filming in a film by Polish director Jerzy Hoffmann, where he was approved for the main role, but due to the crisis, filming never began. Later, the actor received an offer to star with Agnieszka Choladn, but the role “didn’t work out” there either.
Andrey admires the works of Quentin Tarantino; among our directors, he likes Uchitel, Zvyagintsev, Ursulyak. My dreams are to act in films based on the works of Bunin, Chekhov, Nabokov, Beaumarchais, and Oscar Wilde. Andrey is learning English in the hope that he will be able to work abroad.
Recently, Barilo, with the help of Alexander Shirvindt, bought a one-room apartment in the capital, where he lives with Sasha. According to him, he fell in love with her at first sight and considers his beloved his angel.
Andrey is not attracted by the prospect of buying a country house, nor does he dream of a bathhouse. All this is not his. As he admits, he doesn’t know how to save money at all.
To relieve stress, Barilo likes to play computer games, but does not sit in front of a screen for several hours. An hour is enough for him to rest.
