Especially my hero is a high-quality plastic surgeon. In the picture there were excellent consultants-doctors who taught actors. When I was a child, did you want to become a doctor?No never. I'm afraid of blood, I can not put myself an injection. Once I had to do it, I remember with horror. Doctors have to be detached, sometimes cynical, otherwise it's impossible to engage in this profession. And I feel very sorry for the sick, I can not abstract and miss experiences through the heart, which, maybe, is wrong. Probably, I could not even become an oculist. In Sklifosovsky you, like in the series "Kamenskaya", play with Elena Yakovleva couple. I read that it is not easy to work with Yakovleva. This is true?With Lena it's always difficult, always you need to be on the alert. She likes to provoke partners for improvisation, she can add something to her text, skillfully sharpen it. It is very organic to match, you need to keep a certain level. But it's easy and interesting with it. It does not allow you to relax, this is an excellent actor's quality. Probably, I could not even become an ophthalmologist!frame from the series "Sklifosovsky" Photo: "Russia 1" Is it true that your grandfather and grandmother were Old Believers?They lived in the village of Larionovo, near NizhnyNovgorod, where I was born. As a child, parents sent me to them for the whole summer. Grandfather was a front-line soldier, the head of the farm, grandmother - a noble milkmaid. It is unlikely that they could have been Old Believers. But in their house stood icons, and all the villagers were very devout. When we with the boys ran around the yards, sometimes in the closets they came across crosses and other funeral paraphernalia, which made the children's imagination draw dreadful pictures of the other world. The villagers traditionally, during their lifetime, prepared everything necessary for their funeral. All the grandfathers were with bearded beards and rare Old Russian names - Parthen, Ephraim, Agathon. My father was called Epifan Illarionovich. The atmosphere in the village was, of course, unusual. There lived very thorough, but at the same time incredibly kind people. I still really love these places, and when I'm in Nizhny Novgorod, I try to visit them. How did you meet your wife Inga Rutkevich?She worked as an editor on television.Several years ago, a film crew came to my dacha to film a show. That's how we met, our relationship began to develop, and eventually we started a family.
