Film career of Denis Buzin

During this period, Denis Buzin also starred in the full-length film “Father” with a cameo role as a boy named Vasya, a classmate of the heroine Svetlana Ivanova, as well as in the TV series “The Hour of Volkov”, playing the authority figure Glushakov in his youth.

And thanks to his memorable voice, they began to invite him to voice-over foreign films.
However, Denis’s real popularity came after the premiere of the sitcom “CHOP,” where the young actor played Slava, a security guard from the private agency “Kedr.” He worked well with his “partners”: Sergei Stepin, Sam Nickel, Gennady Maslennikov and Sergei Tereshchenko, and gained fame as a joker and joker unrecognized by his colleagues. He very often jokes out of place, so his colleagues do not always understand jokes, thinks a lot, and is not at all endowed with such qualities as kindness, responsibility and honesty.

Alexander Denisov (I)
Soviet and Russian actor.
KinoPoisk: https://www.kinopoisk.ru/name/294916
Graduated from the Belarusian Theater and Art Institute in 1968. Since 1967 - actor at the Yanka Kupala Theater (Minsk). He played more than a dozen roles on the Kupala stage. He acted in films for more than twenty years. Honored Artist of the Belarusian SSR (1980).
The popularity of the actor of the Kupala Theater, State Prize laureate Alexander Denisov, even now leaves many Russian actors of his level and range behind. This is what they say about such people: he will even play a telephone directory. Character actor. With the appearance “what women like”, the constitution “our proud “Varyag” does not surrender to the enemy and at an age when the trees are always big: Do you remember the physics teacher from the film “Schedule for the Day After Tomorrow” in a chic ensemble of actors led by Oleg Dahl and Margarita Terekhova? And the television series (action movie at that time) “State Border”, after which all the sighted women of the Soviet Union fell in love with the energetic sailor Gamayun?.. It turns out that happiness, like misfortune, also happens to the fullest. Fate favored Denisov - in 1985, long before his retirement anniversaries, he received the title of laureate of the State Prize for the performance of the best play by Alexei Dudarev “Private Ones”, plus national fame and love.
Olga Klebanovich is a prima of the Russian Theater with a beauty daring for the stage: bright, tall, stately: For some reason it seems that her career never depends on the director’s decision - she is painfully confident on stage. Each of her roles is an event in theatrical life. The appearance of this beautiful couple - Denisov and Klebanovich - in any company was a good sign for a good mood. You know, like in the circus: no one gets angry at the red-haired clown or takes offense at the reasoner. Proud Olga allowed the “hussar” Denisov to please women, without at the same time exploiting the primitive feminine move - cheap flirtation with one of her colleagues: “If the husband is the head, then I am the neck. I can always turn events around 90 degrees,” said Olga Mikhailovna. But fate turned their future lives 180 degrees.
In the late 80s, it turned out that only overseas doctors could save their terminally ill daughter. True, it was impossible to get to the USA just like that - this country doesn’t believe in tears either. Alexander Denisov became a disruptive force that overcomes all authorities. As a result, the family of famous actors is divided: father and daughter leave for America, and mother and son remain in Belarus. It seemed that life had only temporarily changed, but it turned out that a different life had begun: not bad and not good, just DIFFERENT.
Over the past 12 years, Belarusian actor Alexander Denisov has never been able to come to Minsk. I was leaving the Soviet Union, and was supposed to come to the sovereign Republic of Belarus. Although he managed to save his daughter: she has now graduated from the University of Ithaca.
Passed away on March 3, 2012.
Cinematic creativity: the beginning
The next year after his debut role in “Boys”, actor Nikolai Denisov appeared as Mitka in the comedy film “The Shores”, consisting of three stories, where the main characters are a dentist, a lecturer and a projectionist who travel on a small boat along one of the rivers of the North . The same year he starred in the film “And in the Pacific” about the civil war, where he breathed life into the character Seryozha. In Khasan Bakaev’s 1973 drama “Near These Windows” it is not difficult to recognize him in Vitka. In this visual narrative, the main character is the projectionist Mikhail, who on the eve of the elections begins to show himself as an active public figure.
