Sole of company

The actor from Alma-Ata woke up famous. Glory fell on him at 45 years old. The film was released in 1988, and Vladimir Tolokonnikov was born in 1943, in the city of Alma-Ata. Grew a boy in an incomplete family - his mother gave birth to him from a soldier who corrected his health after being wounded in this city. And although the woman raised her son alone, she never spoke of her father badly.

Artist talented and mischievous little boy decided to become in school - he constantly mixed everyone, copied teachers, while one of them did not advise Volodya to show their talents on stage. The head of the drama circle Mikhail Azovsky considered the actor's talent in a tomboy, and his eye was well-trained - his pupils were Lev Prygunov and Vadim Abdrashitov.

Persevering and persevering

Vladimir Tolokonnikov was a gifted boy: he painted well and at one time even wanted to become an artist, but the stage won him forever. In his native city, to which the famous actor remained true, he even before the army, participating in the studio Yu. B. Pomerantsev, managed to work on television, and also went on stage (though in extras) one of the largest temples of Melpomene of Kazakhstan - Russian Drama Theater named after M.Yu. Lermontov. For three years, a talented young man tried to enter Moscow's theater universities, but without success. As it turned out later, he was not taken because of his characteristic appearance: they say, he will become an actor of one role. And what is wrong with such an epoch-making role as Sharikov, even if it were the only one? Yes, and not one she is in the actor's record.

Chartered actor

In the army, to which Vladimir Tolokonnikov is very grateful for the excellent school of courage and discipline, he was able to serve in rocket units in Germany. And all the time he participated in artistic amateur performance. After the service in the Armed Forces, there was another attempt to enter the university of Moscow, which indicates the fidelity to the chosen case, and then the entrance to the Yaroslavl Theater School followed, after which Vladimir Tolokonnikov entered the theater he loved. Lermontov in his native Alma-Ata. He is still loyal to this theater.

In one hundred of the best

Acting career developed progressively, but very successfully - from the role of Leszek in "Vasilisa the Beautiful" to Luke in the play "At the bottom." But the actor dreamed of a movie, knowing that he could reveal his talent there even more. And uncovered, and how! The film "The Heart of a Dog" was demonstrated in 32 countries always with unchanging success - Tolokonnikov was crowned with world fame. Of course, the whole cast of the film is brilliant: and Boris Plotnikov in the role of Bormental is magnificent, and in the creative biography of Evgeny Evstigneev, Professor Preobrazhensky is not in the last place. And the fact that no one known actor at least as good as the "aces of the profession" played Sharikova, deserves only admiration. But after all, Nikolai Karachentsov, and Andrei Zharkov , tried this role. About this role, like the movie as a whole, is written a lot, and he is appreciated - he contributed to the hundreds of the best paintings of all time.

Unjustly flouted

After this picture, actor Vladimir Tolokonnikov for some time disappears from the field of view, and this gave the right "borzopistsam" to mix it with dirt. And Vladimir Alekseevich lived in his beloved city, built a house, raised two sons and played on the stage of his beloved theater. And the roles were very good - and Quasimodo in the "Notre Dame de Paris", and Sharikov in the "Dog Heart". This performance was staged hundreds of times, and Polygraph Polygraphovich there is just as brilliant, but somewhat different - the artist is very demanding of himself and all the time he is working on improving the already played roles.

The universal favorite

At one time, VA Tolokonnikov was not very well known in his native Kazakhstan, the popularity came after the series "Crossroads". There were also programs on local television - "In the kitchen with Tolokonnikov" and "Tolobayki". In the last teleproject, together with actor G. Balaev, Vladimir Tolokonnikov seemed to repeat "Gorodok" with Oleinikov and Stoyanov. Vladimir Alekseevich, who himself came up with costumes and scenarios, consoled himself by the fact that Russian colleagues "slammed" the project from Benny Hill. Now V.A. Tolokonnikov in Kazakhstan is a cult figure, and everybody knows him, and "Medeo" (now "Medeu") is skipped for free.

Happy man

And the roles in the movie actor is not offended, there are among them and just good, and brilliant. For example, Filomeev in the 1990 film "Cloud-paradise" (the film collected many international awards) or Kozlevich in the 1993 film "Dreams of an Idiot." The actor plays great even in disastrous films, and this is noted by the press. The role of Hottabych stands apart. In general, the popular Kazakh actor is removed in Russia. In 2009, by the Presidential Decree Vladimir Tolokonnikov (photo attached) was awarded the Order of Friendship. Vladimir Alexeevich loves roses. When he is not on the set in Russia, he likes to go in the morning with a cup of coffee in his rosary. "Hello roses," says a talented and sought-after actor. "Hello, dude!", - answer the flowers. So Vladimir Tolokonnikov, who considers himself a happy person, talks about his morning communication with flowers.
