Nikita Tatarenkov: photo, filmography, wife, family

For a wide audience of young lyceum, Nikita Tatarenkov became famous for the popular comedy "Golden Calf", directed by Ulyana Shilkina, where he made his debut in the cinema. And he got far from the secondary role of Shura Balaganov, and the young man was preparing for her thoroughly. One way or another, but for some, Nikita Tatarenkov is an ordinary actor who got into the cinema not so much due to his acting abilities, but rather to the patronage of the eminent man of the Soviet and Russian epoch, Oleg Menshikov. The press repeatedly wrote about the fact that the cute Ostap Bender and Shura Balaganov established the warmest relations. However, they do not comment on their friendship in any way, thereby giving even more cause for gossip and rumors.

What, in fact, was Tatarenkov's way to the acting profession? Let's consider this issue in more detail.

Facts from biography

Nikita Tatarenkov is a native of Serpukhov. He was born on September 15, 1975. His father was a military man, so the Tatarenkovs' family often moved from town to town. In his youth, the boy did not even think about being an actor. However, the time came when his father Nikita was transferred to the capital. It was there that the boy first met with great art. In the neighborhood where he lived, there was a youth theater of Vyacheslav Spesivtsev. After going several times to the performances that were staged in this Melpomene church, the young man, without hesitation, entered the theater studio to learn the basics of acting. It was on the stage of the youth theater that Nikita Tatarenkov played his first role (Shakespeare's Romeo).

In the future, he intended to devote his life to this art.

Years of study

After receiving the certificate of maturity, the young man did not change his plans and submitted documents to the Shchukinsky Theater School. He was assigned to Yuri Shlykov's course. The mentor spoke with warmth of his ward: "He knew how to arrange to himself, possessing simply a discouraging charm."

Started

On the course, the young man very soon became a true leader: the degree of his activity and the level of bubbling energy sometimes just went off scale. He knew how to organize festive events, parties, birthdays in such a way that everyone present on them felt the real atmosphere of the holiday.

In addition to his love for the Melpomene temple, Nikita Tatarenkov felt a passion for music. His idol was the leader of the Doors group, Jim Morrison, who loved to shock the audience with his antics. He also had a good command of the guitar, singing on it the songs of such famous bands as "Chaif" and "Kino". Naturally, the hearts of girls at the sight of Nikita with a guitar smashed to smithereens.

Incident threatening with expulsion

There was a time when the student Tatarenkov was almost kicked out of the "pike". An unpleasant incident occurred during the exam. Before the teachers, the young man went out to play with blue lips, which put them in a real shock. As it turned out, our hero, thirsty, drank from the bottle behind the scenes, and there were ink. However, the members of the examination committee were not satisfied with this explanation of what was happening. They were sure that the young man intentionally wants to disrupt the "process". I had to spend a lot of energy and energy to convince the mentors in the opposite, and they relented on Nikita.

In his student years Tatarenkov brilliantly plays in the play "The Idiot", which is staged in the theater on Malaya Bronnaya. The young man is reincarnated as Kolya Ivolgin and in 1996 he was awarded the "Debut of the Year" prize for this work.

Acquaintance with Menshikov

To the graduate of the theatrical high school with great difficulty managed to get some image in the theater, and even more so in the cinema. And this was well understood by Nikita Tatarenkov, the beginning of the lycee. The filmography of the actor has only a few roles in the movie, but they are all significant. His "test ball" in the cinema can be considered a film by Nikita Mikhalkov "The Barber of Siberia", the role in which went to a young man when he was trained in the sixth year of the "pike". It is then on the set he meets Maestro Menshikov. The talent and organic nature of Nikita immediately caught sight of Oleg Evgenievich. Between the novice actor and venerable actor, the warmest relations began. In the media there was information that Tatarenkov and Menshikov unite "carnal" passion. Some could unreservedly believe in these rumors, especially since the maestro did not like to appear in public, did not confide in personal topics.

Yes, and Nikita Tatarenkov, whose photo was regularly published in the press after the triumph of the "Siberian barber", did not comment on his relationship with Oleg Evgenievich.

One way or another, but the novice lyceum has canceled the contract with the theater on Malaya Bronnaya and began to serve in a creative structure called "Theater Association", which belonged to Menshikov.

Work in the cinema

In addition to the "Siberian Barber", actor Nikita Tatarenkov remembered the viewer for the role of Shura Balaganov in the comedy "Golden Calf". Journalists put forward one after another the version that this image for the graduate of "pike" was procured by Menshikov, who was to play the great combinator. Initially, Oleg Derevianko was to be partner with Oleg Evgenievich's stage , but the maestro insisted that the role be given to Nikita. Participants in the filming process saw firsthand how Tatarenkov and Menshikov together came and left the site to the hotel. In addition to the "Golden Calf", Nikita took part in such films as "Mad November", "Admiral", "At Risk", "Hunt for the Shadow".

After filming the film "Empire under attack" (2000), the young man had a break in his work, which lasted for five years. In 2005, he was approved for the role in the Golden Calf.

Personal life

The actor does not like to talk about his own vicissitudes in his personal life.

Even in his student years, he experienced a passionate feeling for Alena Ivchenko, who today is in demand serial actress. Few know that the lyceum is tied up in marriage. Nikita Tatarenkov, whose wife is a graduate of a theatrical high school, is categorically against the fact that the public knew about his relationship on the love front. Also, the young actor has a daughter Sofia. He is very proud of his beauty. That's it, he, a graduate of the Shchukinsky Theater School, Nikita Tatarenkov. The family for him is by no means of secondary importance in life, despite any gossip and rumors. The fact that the actor has not played a very large number of roles in the cinema, he does not upset. He considers the main place of work as a theater. And he has almost no time for rest.
