And although during his life he did not manage to play the main roles, the artist was very remembered by the wide audience and fell in love with his funny and emotional episodic roles. The main series, which made Andrei famous, is a multi-series film "Secrets of the Consequence." However, it should be noted for the sake of justice that in addition to this work, Andrew worked in other Russian TV series.

Biography

Sharkov Andrew was born in January 1958 in the north, in a cold Murmansk, in a family where the father Anatoly Afanasievich and Zoya Ivanovna's mother were physicians. The parents had the same way for the son, but Andrei, although he did not dislike the medicine, decided otherwise. Predisposition to colloquial art and love of the theater appeared in it even in school years.

Andrew attended a theater group and loved spending time with friends. In general, he was always a jolly fellow, he liked to tell funny stories and anecdotes, for a word in his pocket he never climbed and was very fond of being in the spotlight. Perhaps the genetics here played an important role, since the actor's mom at one time also received a theatrical education, however, the career of the actress did not.

After graduation, Andrei decided to enroll in a theatrical high school in St. Petersburg, but failed to pass the exams and went to torture his fortune in Sverdlovsk. Fate smiled to the actor, he was accepted to the Sverdlovsk Theater School. However, a year later the young man was expelled - the attendance of his studies left much to be desired.

The beginning of the creative path

This fact did not stop Andrei from continuing his way to his goal - he went to Nizhny Novgorod, and entered the local theater school, and immediately to the second course.

This city brought a man with a future friend of life - Evgeny Dvorzhetsky, who later became an actor of theater and cinema, honored artist of the Russian Federation, a well-known personality on television in the late 90's. Unfortunately, Eugene Dvorzhetsky was tragically killed in 1999.

In 1979, Andrei Sharkov finished his studies and went to Latvia - in Riga he had a room that got from his mother. However, the young man was expected to face serious challenges. He could not find a permanent job in the profile - he was not taken to any theater in the city. Sometimes it came to the point that Andrei did not have the opportunity to eat normally.

However, soon the black band ended, and the future famous actor began to act one theatrical sentence after another. Moreover, the man constantly had a choice - where to work and on what terms - for several years Sharkov managed to work in eleven theaters in various cities of Russia. He changed the theatrical stage, mostly because he was looking for an ideal place to work, comfortable - such is where justice and talent are running.

Fulfillment of desires

In 1994 Andrei Sharkov stopped his searches in St. Petersburg. Once in his childhood, as a boy, he dreamed of living in this beautiful city, with a charming atmosphere. The children's dream was fulfilled - the work was found, and not somewhere, but at the Bolshoi Drama Theater under the guidance of Tovstonogov. At first, for Andrey, the theater seemed to be a house in which everything is sublime and not the same as everywhere else. However, later, he realized that this place is not ideal either - behind the scenes of every theater intrigue in the acting environment is the norm.

In general, when talking about the theater, Andrei warns that he does not like unprofessionalism. And with great vexation sometimes he observes the situation when the main interesting roles are bypassed by truly talented people. And in theatrical life, in his opinion, this often happens.

Today, looking back over the years he lived, Andrei is not sure of the correctness of his professional choice and does not know if he would have chosen the acting profession again, introduce himself to him a chance to live life anew. He believes that this is a difficult profession, and among the many talented children entering the theater course, only a few have the opportunity to express themselves in the theatrical profession.

Oh, the theater!

Whatever it was, Sharkov Andrei Anatolyevich works his idol and loves endlessly. With theatrical tours, he traveled all over Russia, most European countries. The actor likes the road, he adores traveling and is doubly pleased with the fact that it is work that makes it possible to translate your personal desires into reality.

Cinema

Working in the cinema for Andrei Sharkov today is shooting in television series. Actors of Russian cinema are often forced to appear in multi-series films in order to maintain a decent level of existence.

I must say that the acquaintance with the cinematography of the man happened quite late - he was already a little over forty. The debut series, in which the actor played a tiny role, was the second season of "The Street of Broken Lanterns." Then there were serials "By the name of the Baron", "Mole", "National Security Agent".

About everything

Andrei Sharkov is an incredibly pleasant companion, with whom it is easy and fun. He has few friends, some of them are actors of Russian cinema.

When communicating with Sharkov, there is some kind of warmth and ease. In addition, he quite frankly responds to a variety of questions, not hesitating to give an assessment of some controversial situations.

He can talk about art for hours. He thinks that the theater in principle is something alive, an organism that can die at some point, but later be born again. According to the actor, today the theater is not as popular as it used to be, it is largely replaced by a TV set, a computer, but still it remains interesting to people. Although, according to Andrei Sharkov, many viewers coming to the theater do not have enough education in some moments - it's very unpleasant to watch when a mobile phone rings at the height of a strain on the stage in the middle of the hall.

Andrei Anatolyevich loves the city in which he lives and will not exchange it for the capital, although he agrees that today all life is concentrated in Moscow. Favorite places of the actor in St. Petersburg - the Field of Mars and the Trinity Bridge.

On questions about what the actor can advise today's enrollees entering the theater institute, Sharkov, without hesitation, answers - think carefully. The actor believes that not always the most talented children pass all the exams and enter the course. And if someone is not ready to fail or to an unfair attitude towards oneself - it is better to file documents with the university for some other specialty.

Ufa is a city of childhood

He loves Sharkov to talk about his favorite corner from his childhood - the city of Ufa. Here passed the childhood years of the actor.

In this city lived his grandmother, where she was evacuated during the Great Patriotic War from Stalingrad. In the postwar years, she remained here to live. Mom actor, incidentally, in this city was educated at the theater school on the vocal department and for a time worked in the Ufa Philharmonic. However, after my marriage I left for another city. But Aunt Andrei Sharkov - Galina Ivanovna Kidul - a person in the city known. She was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Bashkortostan. All her life she gave up the profession - worked in the Ufa opera theater.

For Sharkov, childhood in Ufa is the happiest and carefree time when you could not think of anything, just go to the planetarium and run to swim in the White when the parents and grandmother were still alive.

Sharkov every time with a thrill in his soul comes to his city of childhood. He still has his relatives here, who treats the actor very warmly, he follows all his works. On holidays relatives send their pet gifts.

The actor says that since the time of his childhood, the city has changed a lot, but it only makes Andrei Sharkov happy.

Throughout his adult adult life he walked side by side with his only wife - Tatyana Kapitonova, a colleague in the shop, an actress of theater and cinema. She can be seen today in television series, for example, in "Sea Devils", "Mentovskie Wars", in the TV series "Chef", "Hounds".

They met while they were studying - were fellow students. Andrew confesses that for the first time he drew attention to his future wife, not as a female representative, but as a promising actress in the profession of acting. He says that he always pays attention to people with inner potential, charismatic and extraordinary.

Sharkov was never a ladies' man, a Don Juan, and women did not pursue him on their heels. However, he is a very attractive man, with him incredibly comfortable and cozy. Andrew jokingly draws parallels between private life and acting fate.
