Russian actor Vadim Kolganov was born in 1971, January 17, in the Ulyanovsk region in the small village of Baranovka. There were two children in the family: Vadim and Natasha, his older sister. Soon the Kolganov family moved to Orenburg, where Vadim spent his childhood years. He came to his native village only for summer holidays.

Serious passion for theater

In the sixth grade, the boy became seriously interested in theater and began to play in productions of the local Youth Theater, where his older sister took him. Around the same time, Vadim seriously went in for sports: he played football, hockey, showed good results in boxing. However, he had to leave his sports career due to he alth problems.

The first performance, which was called "A Piece of Bread", was staged by Vadim Kolganov when he was a tenth grader. Upon graduation, the young man becomes a student at the Orenburg School of Culture. After graduating from the Department of Theater Directing with honors, the future actor served in the armed forces in Khabarovsk and Kamchatka for two years.

Working on the stage

Immediately after the army, Vadim Kolganov got a job at the Orenburg Center for Children and Youth Creativityand at the same time took lessons at a music school. True, not having completed his last year, the future actor decided to move to Moscow. In the capital, Vadim managed to enter the acting and directing department of VGIK for the course of Reichelgauz and Khutsiev. Already in the first year, the teachers noted Kolganov's talent. Soon he played in the "School of the modern play" - the Reichelgauz theater.

In 1998, the young artist successfully graduated from VGIK and was accepted into the troupe of the Stanislavsky Drama Theater, where for five years he received roles in the plays The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night, Testament in Italian, Masquerade . But then Kolganov decided to return to Reichelgauz, for whom he still works.

Acting career

Vadim Kolganov played his first small movie role in the TV series "Truckers", released in 2001. The following year, he was invited to one of the main roles in the serial film "Free Woman". In the next four years there were several more series with his participation. In 2005, the audience saw Kolganov in the film "Bastards", in 2006 - in the film "Wolfhound". But wide popularity came to Vadim after filming in the successful series "Tatiana's Day", in which he played the role of Viktor Rybkin. The actor was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia in 2007. On this, his creative career did not stop, but continues to gain momentum. Kolganov's participation in several television projects ("Big Races", "King of the Ring" and "Ice Age") only added to the fame of the actor.

Private life

At first, the young actor was not given any roles in films, he often had to appear in commercials. One of the commercials with his participation was filmed in Sochi. Returning from filming, thirty-year-old Vadim Kolganov met his future wife, Ekaterina Goltyapina. There was an amazing misunderstanding - young people were sold train tickets to the same place. During the conversation, it turned out that they work in the same theater, but have never seen each other. Vadim considered this a “sign from heaven” and, having arrived in Moscow, the next day he called the girl.

Soon Katya moved to live in a room allocated to Kolganov by the theater. The young people fell in love with each other more and more every day, until one morning it occurred to Vadim to propose to the girl. On the same day, they applied to the local registry office and a month later played a modest wedding in a bowling center, borrowing the necessary amount of money from a friend. Only after that did the theater learn about their relationship.

Vadim Kolganov's wife from the first days of marriage insisted on changing the image of her husband, because she believed that it was the excessive brutality present in his appearance that prevented him from acting more actively in films. And indeed, thanks to the fact that Vadim said goodbye to his long hair, leather pants and a raincoat-mackintosh (this image of the actor can be seen in the series "Truckers"), he was increasingly invited to filming.

The young husband quickly found a common language with Katya's parents and with pleasuregoes to visit them in Orel. Both the father-in-law and the mother-in-law (both actors) treat their son-in-law very well, finding in him a congenial person. A tradition has appeared in the family - to celebrate every New Year in Orel, gathered together at the festive table, and enjoy the conversation in the amazing creative atmosphere that reigns in the house.

Family for the actor has always been and is in the first place. And as Vadim Kolganov himself says, a wife and children are a great happiness that must be protected from all misfortunes and hardships.
