The childhood of the future actor
The most talented actor Boris Shcherbakov was born in 1949, December 11, in Leningrad. His parents were kind people. From childhood, Boris grew up a mischievous, very lively boy. However, it could not be called a ringleader. But he was always able to take part in some not too large-scale scams. For example, it was not difficult for him to get into the radio room in order to include his favorite music. As a child, he was involved in athletics, played football and tennis.
The family of the future actor lived in a communal apartment, from which a wonderful view of the Gulf of Finland opened. Boris himself often fished, admiring the beauty of the port and ships. Most likely, it was because of this that he wanted to become a sailor.
The beginning of the creative path
At the age of 12, Boris began an acting career. It all started with the fact that representatives of the Lenfilm film studio came to their school. They were just looking for a boy, a blond and fair-haired, who could play the main role of Gleb Prokhorov in the exciting children's adventure film "Mandate". A large number of other boys claimed for this role. But Boris Shcherbakov was in priority. The filmography of a talented person began precisely from this period.

Naturally, he did not hesitate for a second, because the actor had a dream - he was studying with Massalsky. So he decided to try his luck. Initially, Boris did not want to take the summer session. He was going to go straight to Moscow. But the dean of the institute insisted that Boris pass the session just in case: what if he fails the exam and cannot enter Moscow.
The attempt was successful

He decided to listen to the impudent young man. And, of course, he immediately accepted. A few days later, Boris was already transferred to the Moscow Art Theater School.

Many times they thought what kind of surname Shcherbakov was, then they decided that Boris was the son of Pyotr Shcherbakov, who was an artist in the Sovremennik Theater. But later everyone found out that there was no relationship between them.
