At least, this can be said about the actor Sergey Gorobchenko: until 2003, his filmography included 5-6 works, and the roles were exclusively episodic. A special breakthrough in Gorobchenko’s career did not happen, but he began to trust him more often in the main roles in television projects.
Andrey Merzlikin as Dimon
Actors of the film “Boomer”, who really were able to seize the opportunity, are Andrei Merzlikin and Vladimir Vdovichenkov. Of the whole team, they have achieved the greatest popularity.
“Boomer” is a film in which the actors were forced to play mainly “thieves” and other gangster elements. So Merzlikin played one of the legendary four - Dimon scalded. After Boomer, Merzhlikin’s filmography included such worthy projects as The Red Chapel, The Shtrafbat, Franz + Polina, The Piranha Hunt, and many other good films.
The main role went to Merzlikin in the military drama "Brest Fortress", the paintings "Dragon Syndrome", "Petr Leshchenko. All that was ”,“ Shaggy Fir-trees ”and“ Owl Cry ”.

Maxim Konovalov, who played Lech, never made a dizzying movie career. He flashed in the series "Voronin", "Sea Devils", "Brotherhood of the landing," but rarely received the main roles.
"Boomer" is a film whose actors mostly remained in the shadows.
