Theater

In 2006, he entered service at the famous Sovremennik Theater. It was from here that the professional career of the future master started. He easily accepted any offers to participate in performances. This is exactly how the biography and personal life of actor Smolyaninov developed at that time. He very often recalls his initial stages in his interviews.

Arthur Smolyaninov and Sergei Garmash

Being very busy in cinema did not allow me to stay for a long time as actors in various productions. Thus, his repertoire includes about ten theatrical productions based on domestic and foreign authors. A considerable number of interesting performances were staged according to a revised script, that is, in a modern way. For Smolyaninov, any role is a new stage in his career, which he approaches with particular seriousness.

An excerpt characterizing Melnikov, Daria Alekseevna

Anna Mikhailovna sat down next to him, wiped away the tears from his eyes, from the letter they had dripped, and her own tears with her handkerchief, read the letter, reassured the count and decided that before lunch and tea she would prepare the countess, and after tea she would announce everything, if God will help her. Throughout dinner, Anna Mikhailovna talked about rumors of war, about Nikolushka; I asked twice when the last letter from him was received, although I knew this before, and noticed that it would be very easy, perhaps, to receive a letter today. Every time at these hints the countess began to worry and look anxiously, first at the count, then at Anna Mikhailovna, Anna Mikhailovna most imperceptibly reduced the conversation to insignificant subjects. Natasha, of the whole family, most gifted with the ability to sense shades of intonation, glances and facial expressions, from the beginning of dinner her ears pricked up and knew that there was something between her father and Anna Mikhailovna and something concerning her brother, and that Anna Mikhailovna was preparing. Despite all her courage (Natasha knew how sensitive her mother was to everything related to the news about Nikolushka), she did not dare to ask questions at dinner and, out of anxiety, ate nothing at dinner and spun around in her chair, not listening to her governess’s comments. After lunch, she rushed headlong to catch up with Anna Mikhailovna and in the sofa room, with a running start, threw herself on her neck. - Auntie, my dear, tell me, what is it? - Nothing, my friend. - No, darling, darling, honey, peach, I won’t leave you behind, I know you know. Anna Mikhailovna shook her head. “Voua etes une fine mouche, mon enfant, [You are a delight, my child.],” she said. - Is there a letter from Nikolenka? Maybe! – Natasha screamed, reading the affirmative answer in Anna Mikhailovna’s face. - But for God's sake, be careful: you know how this can affect your maman. - I will, I will, but tell me. Won't you tell me? Well, I’ll go and tell you now. Anna Mikhailovna told Natasha in short words the contents of the letter with the condition not to tell anyone. “Honest, noble word,” Natasha said, crossing herself, “I won’t tell anyone,” and immediately ran to Sonya. “Nikolenka... wounded... letter...” she said solemnly and joyfully. - Nicolas! – Sonya just said, instantly turning pale. Natasha, seeing the impression made on Sonya by the news of her brother’s wound, felt for the first time the whole sad side of this news. She rushed to Sonya, hugged her and cried. – A little wounded, but promoted to officer; “He’s healthy now, he writes himself,” she said through tears. “It’s clear that all of you women are crybabies,” said Petya, walking around the room with decisive big steps. “I am so very glad and, truly, very glad that my brother distinguished himself so much.” You are all nurses! you don't understand anything. – Natasha smiled through her tears. -Have you not read the letter? – Sonya asked. “I didn’t read it, but she said that everything was over, and that he was already an officer...” “Thank God,” said Sonya, crossing herself. “But maybe she deceived you.” Let's go to maman. Petya walked silently around the room. “If I were Nikolushka, I would kill even more of these French,” he said, “they are so vile!” I would beat them so much that they would make a bunch of them,” Petya continued. “Be quiet, Petya, what a fool you are!” “I’m not a fool, but those who cry over trifles are fools,” said Petya. – Do you remember him? – after a minute of silence Natasha suddenly asked. Sonya smiled: “Do I remember Nicolas?” “No, Sonya, do you remember him so well that you remember him well, that you remember everything,” Natasha said with a diligent gesture, apparently wanting to attach the most serious meaning to her words. “And I remember Nikolenka, I remember,” she said. - I don’t remember Boris. I don’t remember at all... - How? Don't remember Boris? – Sonya asked in surprise. “It’s not that I don’t remember, I know what he’s like, but I don’t remember it as well as Nikolenka.” Him, I close my eyes and remember, but Boris is not there (she closed her eyes), so, no - nothing! “Ah, Natasha,” said Sonya, looking enthusiastically and seriously at her friend, as if she considered her unworthy to hear what she was about to say, and as if she were saying this to someone else with whom one should not joke. “I once fell in love with your brother, and no matter what happens to him, to me, I will never stop loving him throughout my life.” Natasha looked at Sonya in surprise and with curious eyes and was silent. She felt that what Sonya said was true, that there was such love as Sonya spoke about; but Natasha had never experienced anything like this. She believed it could be, but she didn't understand. -Will you write to him? – she asked. Sonya thought about it. The question of how to write to Nicolas and whether to write and how to write was a question that tormented her. Now that he was already an officer and a wounded hero, was it good of her to remind him of herself and, as it were, of the obligation that he had assumed in relation to her. - Don't know; I think if he writes, I’ll write too,” she said, blushing. “And you won’t be ashamed to write to him?” Sonya smiled. - No. “And I’ll be ashamed to write to Boris, I won’t write.” - Why are you ashamed? Yes, I don’t know. Embarrassing, embarrassing. “And I know why she will be ashamed,” said Petya, offended by Natasha’s first remark, “because she was in love with this fat man with glasses (that’s how Petya called his namesake, the new Count Bezukhy); Now she’s in love with this singer (Petya was talking about the Italian, Natasha’s singing teacher): so she’s ashamed. “Petya, you’re stupid,” Natasha said. “No more stupid than you, mother,” said nine-year-old Petya, as if he were an old foreman. The Countess was prepared by hints from Anna Mikhailovna during dinner. Having gone to her room, she, sitting on an armchair, did not take her eyes off the miniature portrait of her son embedded in the snuffbox, and tears welled up in her eyes. Anna Mikhailovna, with the letter, tiptoed up to the countess's room and stopped. “Don’t come in,” she said to the old count who was following her, “later,” and closed the door behind her. The Count put his ear to the lock and began to listen. At first he heard the sounds of indifferent speeches, then one sound of Anna Mikhailovna's voice, making a long speech, then a cry, then silence, then again both voices spoke together with joyful intonations, and then steps, and Anna Mikhailovna opened the door for him. On Anna Mikhailovna's face was the proud expression of an operator who had completed a difficult amputation and was introducing the audience so that they could appreciate his art. - C'est fait! [The job is done!] - she said to the count, pointing with a solemn gesture at the countess, who was holding a snuffbox with a portrait in one hand, a letter in the other, and pressed her lips to one or the other. Seeing the count, she stretched out her arms to him, hugged his bald head and through the bald head again looked at the letter and portrait and again, in order to press them to her lips, she slightly pushed the bald head away. Vera, Natasha, Sonya and Petya entered the room and the reading began. The letter briefly described the campaign and two battles in which Nikolushka participated, promotion to officer, and said that he kisses the hands of maman and papa, asking for their blessing, and kisses Vera, Natasha, Petya. In addition, he bows to Mr. Sheling, and Mr. Shos and the nanny, and, in addition, asks to kiss dear Sonya, whom he still loves and about whom he still remembers. Hearing this, Sonya blushed so that tears came to her eyes. And, unable to withstand the glances directed at her, she ran into the hall, ran up, spun around and, inflating her dress with a balloon, flushed and smiling, sat down on the floor. The Countess was crying. -What are you crying about, maman? - Vera said. “We should rejoice at everything he writes, not cry.” This was completely fair, but the count, the countess, and Natasha all looked at her reproachfully. “And who did she look like!” thought the Countess. Nikolushka's letter was read hundreds of times, and those who were considered worthy of listening to it had to come to the countess, who would not let him out of her hands. Tutors, nannies, Mitenka, and some acquaintances came, and the countess re-read the letter every time with new pleasure and each time, from this letter, she discovered new virtues in her Nikolushka. How strange, extraordinary, and joyful it was for her that her son was the son who had barely noticeably moved tiny limbs inside her 20 years ago, the son for whom she had quarreled with the pampered count, the son who had learned to say before: “ pear,” and then “woman,” that this son is now there, in a foreign land, in a foreign environment, a courageous warrior, alone, without help or guidance, doing some kind of manly work there. All the world's centuries-old experience, indicating that children imperceptibly from the cradle become husbands, did not exist for the countess. The maturation of her son in every season of manhood was as extraordinary for her as if there had never been millions of millions of people who matured in exactly the same way. Just as she couldn’t believe 20 years ago that that little creature that lived somewhere under her heart would scream and begin to suck her breast and start talking, so now she couldn’t believe that this same creature could be that strong, a brave man, an example of the sons and men he was now, judging by this letter.

Movies

The career of the future actor began long before entering GITIS, but his first serious role was the drama “Triumph”. The film was dedicated to people who live in remote cities and towns in Russia, about their difficult life. Afterwards there was an equally socially important work, “The Secret Sign”.

Arthur Smolyaninov in the film “Who If Not Us”

A detective story dedicated to modern problems of drug addiction. There were also comedies “Chic”, “Mars” and so on. The actor was constantly in demand and did not need any approval from critics. His roles were so bright and lively that the audience immediately fell in love with him.

Complete success came after the film “9th Company”. In 2005, Arthur auditioned for the role of “Mona Lisa,” but he didn’t get it, so he got into the character of “Fierce” even better. For Smolyaninov, this was a serious stage in his life, as he moved to a completely different level of professionalism. More than once, answering questions from journalists, he said how lucky he was to be invited to shoot this film. At that time, Arthur Smolyaninov’s personal life was not connected with anyone, so he happily agreed to any serious roles.

Arthur Smolyaninov in the film “9th Company”

“I’m Standing on the Edge” is an interesting film where Smolyaninov played the role of a border guard. The role was quite serious and complex. First of all, he had to play not only a full-fledged border guard, but also a disabled person, since in the story, bandits took revenge on him for discovering a large shipment of drugs. This is a serious film that tells about the strength of a person’s will and the sacred belief in one’s prejudices.

Still from the film “Standing on the Edge”

Eduard Topol, who was the director and screenwriter of this film, talked about the difficult filming. All scenes were filmed in the summer in Uzbekistan, where there is sultry weather around the clock, which not everyone can endure. He spoke of Smolyaninov as a person who had a great future and prospects. Thus, even then he began to gradually strive for various social programs. Upon arrival in Moscow, Arthur supported the action of wheelchair users.

Arthur Smolyaninov's roles were never the same. He is a versatile actor ready to work with any director or genre.

Still from the film “Heat”

Thus, in 2020, he takes part in the historical project “1612”, then in the comedy ZHARA.” Then he received offers from the famous Nikita Mikhalkov, who invited him to star in the modern version of “Burnt by the Sun.” Arthur was very glad to work with such a master of his craft.

The series “Samara” is also very famous, where Smolyaninov’s role was very noticeable. The actor himself said that he does not really like serial films and almost always refused them. But I couldn’t play the role of a doctor. Thus, in 2011 the debut took place in this genre. And a few years later, a continuation of the series was filmed. Thus, Arthur Smolyaninov was able to show his acting skills in projects of this format.

Arthur Smolyaninov in the film “My Boyfriend is an Angel”

One cannot fail to note his work with Vinnie Jones when he starred in the film “Skid.” This picture is made in Lithuania, which is quite unusual for domestic viewers. But still, here Smolyaninov was able to earn recognition from critics.

There was also a role of a completely opposite plan. In the film “My Boyfriend is an Angel” he had to play a real angel. It was a romantic comedy that received great recognition from the female half of television viewers. In this film, it was very difficult for him to play an angel, since he was completely different from him. Despite all the difficulties, the picture turned out to be quite interesting and became popular. Of course, after that there were even more interesting roles.

“Spiritless”, “Christmas trees”, “The Book of Masters” - these are the actor’s latest works in which he took part. The most important thing is that Arthur Smolyaninov continues to delight his fans with new achievements. Every day you can hear more and more good things about him. Of course, these are not his last roles and in the future we will be able to see him in even more serious films.
