The acting past of one of ...
On April 29, 1951, a new representative of their famous surname was born into the Yankovsky family. The boy was called Igor. The baby's dad was Rostislav Yankovsky - a wonderful theater and film actor. Uncle Igor was a magnificent and unforgettable Oleg Yankovsky (“The same Münghausen”, “In love with his own will”), who for many years was, is and remains an adored actor by millions of viewers.
Even in childhood, parents noticed artistic inclinations in their son. They decided to support him in the future, if he decides to connect his life with cinema. This happened a few years later. Yankovsky Igor did not want to lag behind his eminent relatives. He followed in their footsteps.
In 1974, he received a diploma from the Shchukin Theater School. And then he entered the troupe of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. In the shadow of these wings he served for nearly twenty years.
His film masterpieces
Igor Yankovsky, whose family supported any of his endeavors, came to the set in the mid-seventies of the last century. For two decades, he was "under the gun" movie cameras, playing a huge number of interesting and diverse roles. Each of his characters is a personality. And it doesn’t matter if he is a positive hero or not. The main thing is that embodying each of them, Igor Yankovsky gave them a piece of himself.
And the characters were indeed quite entertaining from the point of view of an ordinary viewer, and at the same time a professional critic. This is Geraldine Jr. from a fascinating film about the adventures of Prince Florisel, and Viktor Korablev from the Soviet detective Charlotte's Necklace. And the treasure hunter Oleg Nikolayevich Torchinsky, who is hit by a car, from the action plot “Golden Mine”, and businessman Vadim from the film “Confession of a Container of the Woman”, and Dmitry Selivanov from the sports film “At the beginning of the game”, and Peter Krasov from the drama “Like Us ! "
In those distant years, Igor Rostislavovich was a very famous, popular actor. His photographs adorned almost every issue of magazines telling about the affairs of theater and cinema. But once an important moment came for him, because he decides to leave his beloved profession.
Actor businessman
In an interview written shortly after leaving the big movie, Igor Yankovsky, whose biography is not as widely known as that of his "star" relatives, shared with reporters that everything happened too spontaneously and unexpectedly for himself. His friend acquired a brokerage firm and provided an opportunity for Yankovsky to work for his own benefit in tandem with him. Igor Rostislavovich thought and agreed.
Initially, they traded in grain. After some time, their joint business went pretty well. They came up with the idea of doing advertising.
Napara with Vladimir Yevstafyev Yankovsky Igor creates an advertising agency. In such a simple way, old friends became peculiar pioneers of this new business at that time in the country.
For some time he tried to combine a new business with past work - theater and cinema. Unfortunately, he had to part with art, because, as he himself seriously declares, advertising must be either taken seriously, or not at all.
Serious occupation
Due to the fact that he was closely engaged in business, for the second decade since 2004, Igor Yankovsky is a co-founder and head of the Advertising Cartel agency and president of the Association of Communication Agencies of Russia.
Sometimes he sincerely regrets that cinema has remained for him in the distant past. But as you know, there are some exceptions to the rules. Therefore, in 2002, Igor Rostislavovich with great pleasure accepts the offer from his cousin Philip Jankowski to star in his picture entitled "In Motion". It was a wonderful time, a return to youth. True, after this film there were no new paintings in his biography. Not yet. So admirers of Igor Yankovsky’s talent should not lose hope of seeing his new work in cinema.
Such is he, Igor Yankovsky. His personal life is not carried beyond the boundaries of the family clan. Only one not very pleasant fact is known. A few years ago, his son Denis was detained by law enforcement officers when he sold two drug bags. "Star" dad was not aware of the addictions of his big-age child, who was sentenced to four years probation.
