The most famous actors do not need vanity tinsel, they do not shout to the whole world about their unique talent, for them fame, fame is not real happiness. For true masters of acting, a priceless reward is a trace in the hearts of the viewer, in the history of cinema, harmony with creativity and oneself. The army of talented and famous actors is huge, but, alas, not all of them become “generals.”

Russia is rich in talents

In the "famous actors of Russia" category, the first to be mentioned are the actors of the Soviet era, whom the modern press would unambiguously call sex symbols:

1. Vasily Lanovoy. The colorful appearance did not fit at all into the image of a simple Soviet hard worker, a shirt-guy, his type required something else. But with the light hand of Simonov, the actor quickly climbed the career ladder. He is familiar to the viewer from the films "Certificate of Maturity", "Anna Karenina", "Scarlet Sails", "Officers", "War and Peace", "Three Musketeers".
2. Vyacheslav Tikhonov. Charming man, a man with kindeyes and an enigmatic smile. His filmography is impressive: "War and Peace", "We'll Live Until Monday", the cult epic "Seventeen Moments of Spring", "Young Guard", "White Bim Black Ear", "Burnt by the Sun", "They Fought for the Motherland", "TASS authorized to declare.”
3. The charming Oleg Yankovsky became the founder of a real acting dynasty, presented the domestic audience with unforgettable and beloved characters in films: “In love of his own free will”, “Shield and Sword”, “Ordinary Miracle”, “Two Comrades Served”, “My affectionate and gentle beast”, “Star of captivating happiness”, “The same Münghausen” and many others.
4. Andrey Mironov (Menaker) made his debut in the movie "What if it's love?" while still studying at the theater school. He was one of the most sought-after and popular actors of his era, his track record is simply colossal - 60 films, including: "The Man from the Capuchin Boulevard", the comedy for all ages "The Diamond Arm", "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia", "Three Plus Two”, “The Straw Hat”, “Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro”, “Beware of the Car”, “Blonde Around the Corner”, romantic “Three Men in a Boat, Not Counting the Dog”, “Sky Swallows”, “12 Chairs”.

This list is too short, too ambiguous. The era of Soviet cinema gave the viewer a lot of charismatic, bright actors who are loved to this day, enjoy their acting and even worship.

Young generation

Modernity gives the world new masters who, no less than "veterans" admire theirtalent. The most famous actors of Russia are our contemporaries:

1. Konstantin Khabensky. He was awarded the title People's Artist of Russia, made his debut in the theater, then starred with Plakhov in the crime series "Deadly Force". Pictures with his participation never disappoint the viewer, and there are already more than fifty of them. The most famous are: “Day Watch”, “Irony of Fate. Continued”, “Admiral”, “Yolki”, “White Guard”, “Geographer drank his globe away”.
2. Ivan Okhlobystin. The owner of multifaceted talent and a pure soul. His best and most inspired works: "Chapaev Chapaev", "Freud's Method", "The Nightingale the Robber", "Generation P", "Office Romance. Our time”, “Interns”, “Conspiracy”.
3. Sergey Bezrukov. A favorite of women and a talented actor. He skillfully, masterfully lives the life of each of his characters. His far from complete filmography: “Irony of Fate. Continuation”, “Vacation of strict regime”, “Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive”, “Match”, “Admiral”, “Master and Margarita”, “Yesenin”, “Plot”, “Alexander Pushkin”, “Brigade”.

These are the famous actors of today's Russia. The audience is accustomed to deifying them, attributing a certain lifestyle, character traits, etc., which in fact do not exist. However, there is nothing terrible or bad in this trend, since heroes are role models and should always be.

Pride of American cinema

Famous actors are notthey know by hearsay how difficult the work of actors is. Most of the viewers see only the outer side of the medal of the acting profession: fame, luxury, brilliance in the spotlight. Therefore, myths about film actors are regularly born that do not correspond for the most part to reality.
