Vasily Funtikov: the actor of "the most honest rules"

His name is familiar to all grown-up girls and boys of the Soviet Union, because 30-40 years ago he was the star of the screen. And although fans and fans knew his name, otherwise Krosh did not call him. Yes, yes, for sure everyone has understood who will be discussed in this article. It is he, the same - honest, noble and fair Sergey Krasheninnikov, that is Vasily Funtikov, an actor.

How did he get to the cinema?

Little Vasenka was born in Moscow on July 5, 1962. His family was very far from the world of cinema. Mom is a leading expert on patent-licensing works of Mosenergo of the USSR. Dad is a senior inspector of the GiproNII of the Academy of Sciences. Seven years later they had another boy, Vasya's younger brother. By the way, he became, after some time, a deserved coach of Russia.

Vasily Funtikov, an actor (so far the future), spent his childhood, studying music notation. He played the accordion and violin. The boy even thought to connect his life with music, but he had to forget about it, as soon as his life burst into the cinema.

One warm summer evening, Vasya walked along Mosfilmovskaya Street, where his childhood passed, with a dog. When they passed by the studio, a woman approached him, who subsequently assisted the director Rolan Bykov. She handed the boy a note for Mom. It was Mother who led little Vasya to screen tests.

And let in the film "The car, the violin and the dog Blot" Funtikova not approved for the main role, and he starred only in the episode, so began his journey to the film industry. By the way, the young actor at that time just recently celebrated his ninth birthday.

The path to the role of Krosh

His first major role is schoolboy Vasya, who came into the fight against poachers in a team with his friends and dog Kolchan. This was 1975. Then the role for him was voiced by Maria Vinogradova, the famous actress. Four years later, in the acting biography of Funtikova, another role appears - Sasha Gannushkina in Vilen Novak's "Camerton."

It was on these shoots that the boy celebrated his 14th birthday. Since the shooting took place in Odessa, the film crew descended to the sea. And Vasya jumped so hard that he twisted his leg, because of what he had to be removed in plaster for several days.

When Grigory Aronov conceived to make a picture of "Krosh Vacation" (the author of the story - Anatoly Rybakov), a lot of children came to the tests, but the director saw the main character in Funtikov.

By the way, at the beginning of filming Vasily Funtikov, an actor, passed final examinations at school. And, in spite of the fact that he read a lot, he knew a lot of poems by heart, in the exam in literature he was given a deuce. The shooting was on the verge of failure, but the second director asked the film camera to wait for him and went to class. After talking with the teachers, he returned, and Vasily was called again. He read the Yesenin lines and received a solid four. The shooting started.

The plot line of the picture

The story under the simple title "Krosh Vacation" tells of a very honest and just young man who adores Pushkin's work. It won millions of viewers. The great sense of responsibility of the protagonist before people and the inability to deceive made him different from the rest of the youth of the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century.

According to the story, Sergei Krashennikov (Krosh) once met a fanatical collector of Japanese Netsuke figures, Vladimir Nikolaevich. But this at first sight an interesting and friendly person dragged Krosh into his mean machinations, and the young man decided at all costs to untangle them.

How it all ended, whether the main character was able to restore justice, you can find out by watching the 4-episode film.

Since it was demonstrated before the program "Time", the young actor instantly became an idol of youth of those years.

VGIK or "Pike"

Since the actor Vasily Funtikov, whose biography interested all the fans of the film, already had some work experience on the set, he did not want to choose another profession.

It is interesting that despite the fact that he was taken to VGIK without going through all the tours, Funtikov really wanted to study in "Pike", on the course of A. Burov. But in 1980 he did not get a full half-point, and therefore went to classes as a volunteer. He even began to receive summons to the army, but the teachers (A. Burov, V. Shlesinger and Yu. V. Katin-Yartsev) managed to knock out one more place for the young man. So Vasily Funtikov, an actor, officially became a student. In the diploma performance titled "The School of Slander" he played Sir Charles - the main role.

Movie and family

Funtikov did not forget about the set. Once again, viewers saw his Sergei Krosh in 1984 in the film about an unknown soldier, and four years later - in the detective picture "Sunday, half past seven", here already an adult Krosh - a student of a law institute - is investigating the case of the death of Sonya Smirnova.

But in the image of Krosh his screen works did not stop there. There were others - Mikhail in the film "The Presumption of Innocence", the inspector of the State Automobile Inspection in the "Wedding umbrella" ...

In the theater named after A.S. Pushkin Funtikov went on stage in military and children's plays, and there was a time when he was busy so that he practically lived there.

In recent years, the actor from time to time is removed to the movies: "Wood grouse", "Pechorin. Hero of Our Time "," MUR is MUR "...

About his personal life, little is known except that Funtikov Vasily Vladimirovich never married, but he has a daughter, Darya, very similar to her father, on his personal confession.
