The actor had a difficult fate. Gennady Voronin was born in the difficult post-war period (in 1946), when there was devastation on the streets, and mourning reigned in the houses, and almost no one had enough food.

Immediately after his birth, G. Voronin ended up in an orphanage. Almost nothing is known about his relatives.

Career

But thanks to his naturalperseverance, the artist managed to get a role in the movie "They drove a chest of drawers through the streets …" He played a small third-rate role - the character of Otrochev.
