The biography of Anatoly Vasiliev, known to the general public on the series "Matchmakers", is quite simple and does not shine with scandalous events.

Vasiliev Anatoly Alexandrovich was born on 11/6/1946 in the Sverdlovsk region, the city of Nizhny Tagil. Classmates recall that he was a cheerful guy, performed at concerts, was the soul of any company - with a guitar, jokes and songs of the Beatles in the repertoire.

Further, the biography of Anatoly Vasilyev continues at the engineering college, where he entered after graduating from high school. And Tolya would be an engineer, but suddenly he takes the documents and, having decided to go into the acting profession, leaves Bryansk, where he then lived, for the capital. In Moscow, he successfully passes the exams and becomes a student at the Moscow Art Theater School, which he graduated in 1969.

Now the working biography of Anatoly Vasiliev begins - from 1969 to 1973 he works in the Moscow Theater of Satire, and a year later he moves to the Theater of the Soviet Army. A deep male voice, textured masculine appearance and temperament - all this makes the young actor special and in demand.

The biography of Anatoly Vasiliev continued superbly inTheater named after the Moscow City Council in a comedy role. In 1995, the artistic director of the theater met Anatoly and invited him to join his troupe for the role of a rogue in the comedy School of Non-Payers.

Mikola Dymov in the film "The Steppe" (director Sergei Bondarchuk, 1977 release) - the first notable film role played by the artist Anatoly Vasiliev. His biography in the cinema was very successful - there are more than fifty films in the actor's filmography. This one of the first roles was positively evaluated by critics.

The main role of Valentin Nenarokov in the film "The Crew", brilliantly played by Vasiliev Anatoly Alexandrovich, became a landmark. From that moment on, his biography as an actor was predetermined: almost all of his subsequent roles were similar to this one - a soft, dramatic character that evokes the sympathy of the viewer.

Roles followed:

• Lomonosov's father in "Mikhailo Lomonosov";
• Shubnikov in "General Shubnikov's Corps" (main role);
• Fomin's role in "Hope and Support";
• Glory in the film "Beloved Woman Mechanic Gavrilov";
• Fyodor from "Lady's Tango";
• "Adventure Firm" and others.

There were unexpected roles in the life of the actor - in the nineties he appeared before the viewer in the role of a vampire in the film "Your Fingers Smell of Incense".

Anatoly has two children - son Philip from his first marriage with Tatyana Vasilyeva anddaughter Varya from her second marriage. The son, like his parents, is a theater actor. With his ex-wife Tatyana Vasiliev, he performs in the same play "Joke", where they play the roles of former spouses.

In 2012, the actor left the project after four successful seasons of the popular comedy series "Matchmakers". As Anatoly explained in his interviews, due to disagreements with the actor Fedor Dobronravov, who played the second matchmaker. The intelligent Vasiliev could not continue to play implausible plots and wanted to bring everything closer to real life, which the team working on the project did not accept and did not understand.
