It is very difficult for young actors to break through to the heights of fame. Now the artist Sergei Chekanov, who is already very well known in Stavropol, is living and working in Moscow. He is practically the namesake of the famous actor Sergei Chekan, who actively starred in the eighties, and then engaged in voiced films. It was the voice of Sergei Chekan that the “Distributing hat” spoke in the famous Harry Potter saga. His young almost namesake is also a man with great creative potential.
Period of study
Sergey Chekanov was born in Stavropol, where he received the profession of a teacher of history. Already during the period of receiving professional education, the young man realized that his vocation was a stage. He actively participated in the life of the institute, worked with the KVN team and earned considerable popularity among students.
In addition, Sergey Chekanov worked at the Grani Student Theater, where he became deputy director and gained invaluable experience working with other actors. Now this experience helps him in organizing a variety of events. During the training Sergey managed to collaborate even with the large organization Stavropol-Gazprom, under whose patronage he organized the Student's Night festival.
Work
Sergei Chekanov did not want to work at school. Therefore, the first time after graduation, he was engaged in organizing children's parties and acted as an animator. One of his favorite heroes was Jack Sparrow. Later, he began to organize holidays for young people in the "Center for personal development."
Later he worked in a karaoke club and in a show center. His last job glorified him practically throughout the city, and Sergey realized that he needed to go to Moscow for development. At that time, he prepared a lot of holiday scenarios for private clients of various levels.
Famous almost namesake
In Moscow, Chekanov was to find out that he had a well-known almost complete namesake. This caused some bewilderment in the acting agencies, because Sergey Chekan (actor) died in 2005. The famous artist was killed by an addiction to alcohol. Until 1993, he actively starred in various films.
Later, Chekan took up the scoring of Hollywood films, series and animated films. In his early seasons, Brandon from Beverly Hills 90210 spoke with his voice, and then he began to voice Steve. One of the first films voiced by Chekan was the Police Academy, where he was entrusted with becoming the voice of the Mahoni’s most important rebel. Sergey Chekan worked on one of the last voiced Harry Potter tapes with his daughter Polina, who is actively filming now.
