Actor Leonid Maksimov: biography
Leonid Ivanovich was born on September 9 in the city of Barnaul. Love for the stage, acting and good music led to the fact that after leaving school, Leonid Maksimov went to the cultural capital of St. Petersburg to enter the conservatory. As a result, the young man was admitted to a faculty specializing in the training of musical theater artists.
A year before graduating from the Conservatory, Maksimov was invited to the troupe of the Leningrad State Theater of Musical Comedy, on the stage of which he played the main role in the musical It's Hard to Be a Sergeant.
From 1986 to 2000, the artist periodically changed theaters, but invariably remained the performer of the main male roles in musical theatrical productions. We can say that Maksimov's theatrical career was a success. In the movie, the actor limited himself to participating in episodes.
Beginning of film career
It's no secret that talentedtheater actors often fail to make a dizzying film career. Leonid Maksimov is one of them. In the movies, he appears infrequently, almost does not give interviews. But with pleasure he arranges creative evenings in St. Petersburg, and also participates in variety concerts.
The debut of the actor on the screen took place in 1984. Then he was still a student at the conservatory and appeared in an episode of the biographical film “Ivan Pavlov. Seeking Truth.”
In 1986, Maximov took part in the filming of the film almanac "Exception without rules". The main roles in the project were played by Alexander Galibin, Semyon Farada, Ekaterina Vasilyeva. In the same year, the actor was assigned the role of a ship captain in the drama Breakthrough by Dmitry Svetozarov.
One of the brightest projects of the 80s with the participation of the artist is Alexander Muratov's drama Moonsund. During the filming, Maksimov had a chance to collaborate with Oleg Menshikov, Vladimir Gostyukhin and Nikolai Karachentsov.
Filmography of the 90s
In the 90s. Leonid Maximov did not stop acting in films. He appeared in Sergei Selyanov's drama "Spirits Day" with Yuri Shevchuk in the title role, as well as in the musical film "When the Saints Are Marching" by Vladimir Vorobyov.
In 1991, the performer got a small role in the Russian-Canadian film "Young Catherine" with Julia Ormond and Franco Nero. Then there were the projects "Gadzho", "Game", "Alaska Kid" and "Russian Bride". But the films shot in 2000 brought recognition to Maximov.
Works from the 2000s
In the 2000s. serial films about investigators gained popularity on television,employees of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs who fight crime. Leonid Maksimov, with his brutal appearance, perfectly suited the type of a notorious bandit, in connection with which he was assigned the role of a thug.
In "Street of Broken Lanterns" the artist played a bandit named Speaker, in "National Security Agent" - Iron Felix. But most of all, the audience remembered the eccentric Goose from the legendary series "Gangster Petersburg". It was this image that made Maksimov's face quite famous among film lovers.
New movie roles
Unfortunately, Maximov did not manage to break out of the episodes even after filming in Gangster Petersburg. Although the number of worthwhile projects in the artist's filmography has increased significantly.
For example, in 2005, Leonid Ivanovich played an assistant investigator in the film adaptation of the novel The Master and Margarita by Vladimir Bortko. The serial film has earned high praise from both the audience and critics. The cast of the project turned out to be exclusively "star": Alexander Abdulov, Oleg Basilashvili, Sergey Bezrukov, etc.
In 2013, Maksimov played Sergeant Wilkinson in the TV series Sherlock Holmes with Igor Petrenko and Andrei Panin. In 2017, the actor will appear in Vadim Shatrov's drama School Shooter.
