Actor Vladimir Izotov is an actor of a subtle spiritual organization

This sensitive, responsive and, of course, talented lycee, who received the diploma of a prestigious theatrical high school, suddenly became famous thanks to only one role. The image of the younger Sarafanov in the adventurous melodrama of Vitaly Melnikov "The Elder Son" was taken up by actor Vladimir Izotov. And as it turned out later, on the set he played himself: in real life he had much in common with Vasenka, who was vulnerable, sensitive and vulnerable. Having played in the film "Elder Son", he became a famous actor. Directed by Vitaly Melnikov gave the young man a happy ticket, and it seemed that he was simply guaranteed a brilliant career. But, unfortunately, the actor Vladimir Izotov lost it. That was his choice.

Biographical information

Izotov Vladimir Viktorovich - a native of Moscow. He was born on September 10, 1955.

It is known that in 1973 the young man became a student of GITIS, having chosen the acting faculty. His mentor was the famous director Andrei Goncharov. This fact alone already said that the future actor Vladimir Izotov should be fully realized in the chosen profession. And soon fate itself gave him a chance, which promised great prospects in his career.

"Elder Son"

A 20-year-old student receives an invitation to appear in the film "Elder Son" (1975). This is the story of two carefree young men who, in an unfamiliar locality, were lagging behind the train. In search of lodging, they accidentally come to the Sarafanovs' apartment, and soon one of the young people (Busygin) in the person of the head of the family finds a father. How did the actor Vladimir Izotov become the younger Sarafanov?

Everything was decided by His Majesty the case: one of the assistant directors saw a pretty boy and hinted to Melnikov that he could participate in the shootings. And Vitaly Vyacheslavovich agreed.

Colleagues Izotov on the set were young promising actors: Mikhail Boyarsky, Svetlana Kryuchkova, Nikolai Karachentsov, Natalia Egorova. And, of course, Evgenia Leonova, who in the mid-1970s was already famous, should be mentioned separately. On the set of "Elder Son" novice actor Vladimir Izotov especially became friends with Svetlana Kryuchkova and cameraman Yuri Veksler.

Other works in the cinema

As already stressed, the role of Vassenka for the student GITIS was "stellar". He was recognized on the street. Naturally, after the triumphant debut in the movie Vladimir Izotov, whose biography is not familiar to everyone, began to receive proposals from the directors. Yes, he enjoyed acting, but he could not repeat his success in "The Elder Son". Total on his account about 11 works in the cinema.

Today many people know who Vladimir Izotov is. Films with his participation ("Hello, I came", "Honest, smart, unmarried", "Key", "Yaroslavna, the queen of France" and others) was watched by a lot of spectators. His last work in the movie was the film "The Drinking Blood," directed by Yevgeny Tatarsky in 1991.

Works in the theater

In 1977, Vladimir V. Izotov received the diploma of GITIS. Young, but already known for his "Eldest Son", the actor, along with his colleague Vitaly Moskalenko, enters the troupe of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. The next 14 years he will serve on the stage of this very church Melpomene. During this time, the personage will be transformed into a huge number of images, and even if they are secondary, but he will play them masterfully and filigree.

In particular, we are talking about such performances as "Cruel Games" (the role of Terenty), "The Wizard of the Emerald City (the role of a good neighbor)," Barbarians "(the role of Lukin Stepan)," Wolves and Sheep "(Murzavetsky's role).

Leaving the profession

In the early 90's Vladimir Izotov unexpectedly left the theater stage and set. For his colleagues in the shop such a step was a complete surprise. Everyone was puzzled: "Why? What for?"

And no one could give an intelligible answer. The graduate of GITIS was a closed and closed person, therefore he did not like to talk with others about his problems and experiences. It remained only to guess the reasons for his departure from the profession. There were rumors that in his personal life the actor had a crisis, and he began to deeply experience this problem. But it really was not known. He decided to end his acting career and even destroyed all the things that reminded him of the theater. His colleagues said that Izotov was a trusting person and more than once ill-wishers used his weakness. Once the swindlers deceived Vladimir Viktorovich from housing, and he remained without a roof over his head. After that the graduate of GITIS became a real recluse, avoiding meetings with anyone. After a while, both the audience and representatives of the theatrical environment began to ask the question: "And Vladimir Izotov (actor) where now?" But no one could give an intelligible answer.

There was even information that in the late 90's the "younger Sarafanov" tried to rehabilitate himself and again get on the stage of the theater. To this end, he met with the head of the capital's regional theater of the young spectator in Tsaritsyno. But the interview, the once famous lycee did not pass.

Life today

And today many people remember about the performer of Vasenka's role in "The Elder Son". Naturally, many would like to know: "And Vladimir Izotov (actor) where now?" According to some testimonies, he tries not to contact anyone from a past life. He was seen untidily in the lobby of the Moscow subway. Once they noticed how the actor moonlighted at one of the gas stations. He continues to live a recluse and does not wish to share secrets concerning his personal life with anyone. Well, the viewer can only revise the pictures in which the actor demonstrated brilliant and filigree work, and enjoy them.
