Anton Shagin was born in one of the cities of the Bryansk region on April 2, 1984. After graduating from the ninth grade, he, together with his grandmother, made a difficult decision about the need to enter a vocational school. It should immediately be noted that he no longer had parents at that time. He studied in his city of Karachev as a locksmith. Naturally, he took part in amateur performances. After the school was over, he decided to leave for Moscow to enter the Moscow Art Theater. He did it the first time. Graduated from Anton Shagin Studio School in 2006.

First Prize for Theater Performance

During his studies, he took part in the play "Do not part with your loved ones." There he was given the role of Mitya. For an excellent game, Anton was given the Golden Leaf award. In addition to this performance, he took part in such productions as "The Shores of Utopia" and "Valentine's Day".

Debut of an actor in the film industry

The first film in which Anton Shagin made his debut was Stilyagi. Despite the fact that at first glance the film seemed easy and fun, in fact, the shooting in it proceeded quite difficult and hard. Filmingdragged on for almost two years. The release of the film on television was constantly delayed.

There was even a fairly high probability that an interesting line-up would be lost. But Valery Todorovsky, who acted as a director, selected each individual actor with great care. Over time, Todorovsky repeatedly recalled that there was a feeling that a little more and the film crew would be involved in the shooting of other films. And to say that you have to wait and refuse other offers is not very nice.

Filming a new movie

And so that the actors would not run away, Anton Shagin and other stars were involved in the filming of the film "Vise" under the direction of the same Valery Todorovsky. As a result of the efforts, a dynamic motion picture with numerous chases and shooting was obtained. The essence of this film was that friends wanted to get easy money. To do this, they robbed a small dealer and took several batches of ecstasy from him. As a result, three friends fell into the hands of a mafioso, who obliged them to work off the debt. Anton Shagin, whose filmography was replenished with the first film, played one of the main roles.

Besides Anton, Maxim Matveev, Ekaterina Vilkova, Evgenia Khirivskaya and many other actors of the film "Dandies", the original name of which was "Boogie on the bones", took part in the shooting.

The desire to make the movie "Dandies" was very high

Todorovsky said more than once that he wanted to shoot just such a picture. Prohe learned the dude during his studies at VGIK. After that, he began to show interest and ask people what dudes are. After that, he decided that this story would be a good enough subject for filming a musical.

The film script was written by Yuri Korotkov, who was a friend of Valery. However, there was no money for filming, so filming had to be postponed for an unknown period. As a result, the musical remained in the director's dreams for a long time. However, there was no time to think. He took a lot of pictures. But he didn’t forget about the stylists either. It was very important for him to make this movie.

The meaning of the film was conveyed completely and accurately

As a result, the film director's dream came out on television, in which Anton Shagin, the hero of this review, also took part. Photos from the filming attracted quite a lot of attention, as, in fact, the film itself. We can say that the musical was watched in one breath.

It should be noted that the genre was not chosen by chance. Leaving everything connected with the "darkness", the director quite accurately conveyed the spirit of the dudes, which was characteristic of the late 1950s. It should be noted that the film tells more about free people who put forward a protest against everything that is connected with gray routine and rigid framework.

The main role of a popular actor brought him popularity

Anton Shagin got the role of Mels in this film. This is such a kind of abbreviation for Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin. At the very beginning of the picture it saysthat the hero of Anton is a pronounced member of the Komsomol, whose main goal is to round up dudes. However, in connection with love, he gradually moved to the opposite side. And only at the moment when Mels became a dude, he began to look at the world in a completely different way.

The next day after the movie "Stilyagi" was released on television, Anton was simply enormously popular. However, among theatrical works there are those that can attract the attention of a large audience. For example, "Red and Black", as well as "Shores of Utopia".

Shooting in new films

2011 was marked for Anton by the start of filming in the comedy film Kiss Through the Wall. There he played along with such stars as Ivan Okhlobystin, Pavel Volya, Karina Andolenko, etc. Anton got the role of Innocent, who sought the heart of his girlfriend in all possible ways. However, he understood that keeping a girl is much more difficult than just getting her attention.

In the same year, the actor took part in the filming of the film "On Saturday", in which he played the role of one of the eyewitnesses of the Chernobyl accident. He was also nominated for the "Crystal Turandot" award, which is considered the most prestigious among theatrical figures.

The life of an actor outside the filming process

Anton Shagin tries not to talk about his personal life. His wife, as it became known not so long ago, graduated from a studio school with him. However, her acting career was not decidedcontinue and retire from her profession. In addition, Veronica is not at all embarrassed by the fact that she is in the shadow of her husband.

Veronika Isaeva, wife of Anton Shagin, believes that the success of her beloved man is also her success. And the main thing for a woman, in her opinion, is the ability to provide a reliable rear. Which she tries to do with pleasure and care.

The acting couple had an affair during their student years. The wedding was played right after the school-studio was over. The girl almost immediately was able to win the heart of Anton. In this she was helped by spiritual beauty and openness. It should also be noted that the course in which Anton studied turned out to be stellar. Ekaterina Vilkova, Miroslav Karpovich, Maxim Matveev, Anna Begunova and Petr Kislov studied with him. Anton Shagin and Veronika Isaeva today have two children - a son and a daughter.

To be continued…

Regardless of the fact that the actor himself considers himself a theatrical figure, his filmography contains a voluminous list of roles that he played in films. And besides the musical "Dandies", there are eight more projects. Among the most successful films with his participation in the title role is "To the Touch".

It should also be noted that the actor does not refuse filming in television series. Regardless of his fairly large employment, he considers absolutely all offers that may somehow interest him. And more than once he stated that a large number of creative works await him ahead.and interesting roles. And Anton's success will depend only on him. Therefore, one should wait for new films in which the talented actor will take part.
