The main actors of the film "Election Day" themselves are involved in the idea of the picture and the script, so they well understood their task in the frame. Prior to that, all performers of roles more than once lived the lives of their characters on the stage.
Screen version of the play
In 2007, at the premiere of the picture, the viewer saw one of the most successful comedies in domestic cinema and on television. In the frame, the actors of the film “Election Day” are filming their own popular performance. The musical group "Accident" and the theater troupe "Quartet I" were preparing to please lovers of light comedy without any claim to an instructive effect or descriptions of topical problems.
The heroes of the film simply laughed in an atmosphere understandable to the viewer. Workers in a popular metropolitan radio station should promote a fake candidate in the outback. After tiring and comic troubles, they will realize that they were mistaken in the region. According to critics, “Election Day” (2007 film) for some time was supposed to even become a trendsetter in the comedy genre.
Alexander Demidov
In the work, the actors of the film “Election Day” at the time of filming already had considerable experience. Davydov did not stand out among them, he significantly strengthened the crew for his participation.
Alexander Demidov was born in 1970 in Sverdlovsk. As an actor, one of the few survived the collapse of the Union and did not fall out of the profession. The work relies on a good education. Immediately after school in 1988, Demidov entered GITIS and there he will study pop art for 5 years. Already on a student's bench he will play the first role in the movie, his debut will take place at 21. The beginning of a career coincided with difficult times for the state. In the early 90s, it was difficult to count on a good job in the specialty. With my friends and colleagues I had to create my own theater group “Quartet I”. Over time, its founders will gain good experience and their loyal audience of fans.
In parallel with work on the stage, Sasha occasionally appears on the big screen with equal success with critics and spectators.
Today, it has been playing roles for 25 years, and has also made controversial attempts in his career to write scripts for films.
Rostislav Chait
On the big screen debuts relatively late in the film adaptation of the play, Hait survived this experience in 36 years. Other actors on Election Day feared for their filming partner. The theatrical play and the role in the movie are significantly different and require a few other skills, but the fears did not materialize. Rostislav did an excellent job in the frame. His hero did not spoil the overall impression of the film. The actor played a DJ on the radio, before that in the theater he had already repeated this role many times.
A native of Ukraine, Odessa Rostislav Chait was born in 1971, he grew up in a creative and educated family. The dad of the future actor played in KVN, later the brother of Rostislav will also take this path in his career.
Chait himself begins his ascent to success by entering GITIS and meeting his future partners in the scene. “Election Day” will make it famous not only in the theatrical environment, but also for the mass audience, now Rostislav is already 46 years old.
