2024 Author: Leah Sherlock | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-17 05:25

Among Russian actors there are celebrities whose names are on everyone's lips, and there are modest theatrical "horses" who carry the load of background roles all their lives or, as the theater-goers say, extras. Vinogradov Sergey Alexandrovich is an actor who managed to make himself known and become a noticeable, and very extraordinary figure in art. But at the same time he is also a person who does not like the burden of enchanting glory, he likes to ride the subway unrecognizably, go shopping. Perhaps that is why there is so little information about him. Let's try to slightly open the veil of obscurity of his subtle nature, and, perhaps, the number of his fans and admirers will become even greater.

Begin biography

On a beautiful summer day in 1965 - June 16 - another Muscovite, the future actor Sergei Vinogradov, announced his birth with a loud cry. The photo shows how he was in his youth.

As he himself recalls, his family could not decide on a name for a long time, dad and mom dreamedto see him as Dima or Pavlik, but his aunt, who at that time was 15 years old, and his younger brother staged a hunger strike in protest. They demanded that the newborn be named after grandfather Seryozha. And so it happened that now we are admired and surprised by the actor Sergey Vinogradov, and not Pavel or Dmitry. His ancestral roots stretch to Uglich (his mother was born there) and to Rzhev (her father is from there). But Sergei himself considers himself a native Muscovite, and not only because of the mark in his passport, but at the call of his soul. In one of the interviews, he admitted that a long stay away from the capital is fatal for him.

Childhood

Actor Sergei Vinogradov grew up in an ordinary, moderately we althy, but quite happy, intelligent family. His biography is generally the same as that of hundreds of other guys of his era. His parents worked as engineers, brought home a standard salary for those times, which was surprisingly enough for sweets, and for pioneer camps, and for going to the movies, and for classes in various sections.

Seryozha liked volleyball, he played so well that he even won diplomas, prizes and other nice awards, and in 1982 he even managed to become the capital's champion in this sport. In due time, he became a first-grader at mathematical school No. 444. Seryozha studied well, especially since the sciences were easy for him, especially German and mathematics. His nickname was "Flex", which he, in principle, liked.

After the tenth grade, following the family tradition, he entered the Moscow Aviation Institute. But the desire to become an actor outweighed the desire to be an engineer, and he, despitethe fact that he was an excellent student at the institute, he left the third year to enter the artist.

First tryouts

Actor Sergei Vinogradov began to be interested in theater at school. While in a pioneer camp, he took part in the production of an amateur play, where, thanks to his remarkable appearance, he was entrusted with the role of Jesus Christ.

At school, in the tenth grade, Sergei began studying at the theater studio that existed at the youth theater "On Krasnaya Presnya". At that time, Vyacheslav Spesivtsev was the leader in it. Entering the Moscow Aviation Institute, Sergei began working in parallel as an actor at the Moscow State University Agitation Theater, which in those early years was directed by Chetverkin.

In the theater he played the poet in the play "The Rhythms of Rome", Schmidt in the "Post Novel", the leader of the old people in the production of "Playing Lysistrata". Sergey continued to live by art in his MAI. In lectures, he often did not outline mathematics or aerodynamics, but secretly wrote plays. All this ended in a logical finale - he became a student of the Pike, or rather the Shchukin Theater, without exams enrolling in the course of Stromov and Kalinovsky. One of his teachers was Sergei Yursky.

Students

Sergey Vinogradov is an actor whose personal life does not impress with sharp ups and downs and spicy plots that are so fond of grinding in the yellow press. Only relatives and friends know that Sergey is a very gambling (but not risky) and emotional person.

For example, the episode about his admission to the "Pike" is often remembered. Upon learning that he was enrolled, Seryozha with joyyelled so loudly that he almost disrupted the performance that was then going on the stage. For some reason, fellow students gave him the nickname "Venik", and Sergey still believes that something more original could have been invented.

At the theater institute, he not only learned the nuances of acting, but also tried himself as a director. As a third-year student, he staged the play "Scenes from Family Life", where, in addition to everything, he played a leading role. Also a significant milestone in his student life was the role of Desmoulins in the staged Jura play "Danton". Vinogradov graduated from the Shchukin School with honors.

Career start

A young specialist - a certified actor Sergey Vinogradov - received several offers from various theaters of the capital at once, however, for the role of the third plan. He chose the Satyricon, which was led by the explosive and emotional, talented and completely devoted to his work Konstantin Raikin. In his team, Sergei Vinogradov worked on a very busy schedule, since the Satyricon gives 29-30 performances a month. Here the young actor gained rich experience, but a year later, for reasons that he does not cover, he moved to the Roman Viktyuk Theater and worked there until it collapsed in 1995.

At Viktyuk's, Sergei Vinogradov played in many cult performances, the most sensational of which was The Maids (the role of Madame Solange). Here the actor had to seriously engage in choreography, the skill and knowledge of which was required in the course of the action. As Sergei recalls, the performances were verynon-standard, the public accepted them in different ways. For example, at the premiere of The Maids in Riga, he even had to use the services of bodyguards, as they tried to steal a handsome young actor with a beautiful torso. For his role in The Maids, his fans presented him with flowers, made gifts with a hint, such as rings. But Sergey himself chuckles, remembering all this, and explains that he has a completely normal sexual orientation.

Working in movies

Being an actor of the Viktyuk theater, actor Sergey Vinogradov began to try himself in the cinema. His filmography today includes about forty roles in diverse tapes. Among the most memorable are Count Kelyus in The Countess de Monsoro, Max in The Patriotic Comedy, Majorov in The Trap, Vislenev in On the Knives, Sherstobitov in The Forester and many many others, about 40 works in total.

And his first role was Lord Arthur in the film based on Wilde's novel "Lord Arthur's Crime", released in 1991. Sergei Alexandrovich believes that at the moment he is able to play any role, but he does not dream of Hamlet, he does not aspire to receive an Oscar, he is not eager for the Cannes Film Festival, he only wants to create, and to create in his own manner, not being afraid to experiment. For example, during the production of the play Can-Can, its actresses amazed the audience by performing can-can with their mouths.

What is currently doing

After the collapse of the Viktyuk Theater, Sergei Vinogradov, already a well-known and beloved actor, moved to the Theater of the Moon. There he worked for 2 years and entered the AcademicMoscow City Council Theatre. Here Sergey Alexandrovich worked until 2013, and then he went, as the actors say, to serve in the Ryazan Drama Theater, but after a little more than a year he returned to the Theater. Moscow City Council, where he still works. The last performances with his participation are Belly-bellied in Chomsky's production of Energetic People, Dion in Chomsky's Roman Comedy, Shpigelsky in Orlov's production of A Month in the Country. In total, his collection contains over 50 works in the theater.

Vinogradov - director

Sergei Alexandrovich is not limited to the work of an actor. He is passionate about directing. While still working for Viktyuk, he staged the play "The Collector". Now he has about thirty works in his piggy bank.

Sergey Vinogradov makes productions on the stages of the Ryazan Drama Theater, the Mossovet Theatre, but most often in his own small theater, which he called the S. Vinogradov Theater Company. All his works are bright and memorable, evoking a variety of feelings and emotions in the audience.

I would especially like to highlight the play "Dangerous Liaisons", where he played Viscount Valmont, "The Collector" (new version), "Nabokov, Mashenka", "Foam of Days". As he himself says about himself, the past years have added wisdom to him, removed youthful maximalism, but even now, at a respectable age, if suddenly any scene turns out especially well at a rehearsal, Sergey Alexandrovich is able, like a youth, to dance the dance of an Indian from an ancient tribe or something like that.

Television work

And also on TVthe actor Vinogradov Sergey works. On the channel "Culture" he appeared in three guises at once - as an author, actor and director of the program "From the Window". The first issue was devoted to the poet V. Khodasevich, the second - to Japanese poetry in the tanka style.

The verses in the program were read in Russian and Japanese. If we talk about literature, Vinogradov really likes the work of Vian, Fowles, Miller, he is very close to the skepticism, intelligence and wit of Khodasevich, and the pathos of Yesenin, which the actor cannot stand, is absolutely unacceptable.

Sergey Vinogradov, actor: personal life, Yulia Vinogradova

Fans are debating whether their idol is married or not. When the play "Venus" was staged, Vinogradov and the actress Khorkina often lingered in the theater together. According to colleagues, Khorkina hoped for a relationship, but Sergey Aleksandrovich finished them before he could start, precisely because of his marital status.

In general, there are rumors that he is an excellent ladies' man. The Internet even published a list of his mistresses, including 81 persons. Whether this is true or not, only Vinogradov himself knows.

He has a son Ivan, to whom he once took kefir and cottage cheese in the children's kitchen. Now Ivan Sergeevich has already grown up and even managed to enter the Moscow Aviation Institute, deciding not to break the family tradition.

There is no information about the actor's life partner. In any case, Sergei Vinogradov himself, an actor, never talks about it. The wife, as he said in an interview, if she is an actress, demands from her husband-actorplay only in one theater with her and, if possible, in one performance. He escaped this fate. Some fans believe that Yulia Vinogradova became his soul mate, but neither she nor Sergey confirm this.

Hobbies and passions

Sergey Vinogradov prefers not to get into the paparazzi lens, so little is known about his private life. He lives on the outskirts of Moscow, in a house whose windows overlook the forest. Sergei Alexandrovich prefers to hear the singing of birds than the roar of cars. He also enjoys jogging in his free time.

For many years he has been collecting old (until 1925) postcards with women's faces. He really likes the angle of these unique photos, the expression of the eyes of the heroines, the organization of the frame.

Sergei Vinogradov dreams of finally getting enough sleep. He says that Sophia Loren looks so wonderful because she sleeps a lot.

There is Vinogradov's website on the Internet, where everyone can go and write to their favorite actor.
