Among Russian actors there are celebrities whose names are on everyone’s lips, but there are modest theatrical “horses” that have been carrying a load of background roles or, as theater-goers say, extras. Vinogradov Sergey Alexandrovich - an actor who managed to declare himself and become a prominent, and very extraordinary figure in art. But at the same time he is such a person who does not like the burden of enchanting fame, he likes the unrecognizable ones to ride the subway and go shopping. Perhaps that is why there is so little information about him. Let’s try to slightly open the veil of unsolved mystery of his subtle nature, and perhaps the number of his fans and admirers will become even greater.
The beginning of the biography
On a beautiful summer day of 1965 - June 16 - another Muscovite, the future actor Sergei Vinogradov, announced his birth with a loud cry. The photo shows how he was in his youth.
As he recalls, his family could not decide on a name for a long time, father and mother dreamed of seeing him Dima or Pavlik, but an aunt, who at that time was 15 years old, and her younger brother went on a hunger strike in protest. They demanded that the newborn be named after Grandfather Seryozha. And so it turned out that now the actor Vinogradov Sergey, and not Pavel or Dmitry, admires and surprises us. His ancestral roots stretch to Uglich (where his mother was born) and to Rzhev (from where his father was born). But Sergei himself considers himself a native Muscovite, and not only because of the mark in the passport, but at the call of his soul. In an interview, he admitted that a long stay away from the capital was disastrous for him.
Childhood
In an ordinary, moderately wealthy, but quite happy intelligent family, actor Sergei Vinogradov grew up . His biography as a whole is the same as that of hundreds of other children of his era. His parents worked as engineers, they brought home a standard salary for those times, which was surprisingly enough for sweets, pioneer camps, going to the movies, and classes in various sections.
Sergei liked volleyball, he played so well that he even won diplomas, prizes and other pleasant awards, and in 1982 he even managed to become the capital's champion in this sport. In due time, he became a first-grader in mathematics school No. 444. Seryozha was an excellent student, especially since sciences were easy for him, especially German and mathematics. His nickname was “Flex,” which, in principle, he liked.
After the tenth grade, he, following family tradition, entered the MAI. But the desire to become an actor outweighed the desire to be an engineer, and although he was an excellent student at the institute, he left the third year to enter the artist.
First samples
Actor Vinogradov Sergey began to be interested in theater at school. Being in the pioneer camp, he took part in the production of an amateur performance, where due to his remarkable appearance he was entrusted with playing Jesus Christ.
At school in the tenth grade, Sergei began to study in the theater studio that existed at the youth theater "On Krasnaya Presnya". The leader in it was then Vyacheslav Spesivtsev. Having entered the Moscow Aviation Institute, Sergei simultaneously began working as an actor in the "Agitation Theater of Moscow State University", which was led by Chetverkin in those distant years.
In the theater, he played the poet in the play "The Rhythms of Rome", Schmidt in the "Post Novel", the leader of the elderly in the production of "We Play Lysistrata". Sergey continued to live in art in his MAI. At lectures, he often did not take notes in mathematics or aerodynamics, but secretly wrote plays. All this ended with a logical ending - he became a student of "Pike", or rather the Shchukinsky Theater, without exams enrolling in the course of Stromov and Kalinovsky. One of his teachers was Sergey Yursky.
Student
Sergey Vinogradov is an actor whose personal life is not impressive with sharp ups and downs and spicy plots that are so fond of grinding in the yellow press. Only Sergey and his friends know that Sergey is very gambling (but not risky) and an emotional person.
For example, an episode of his admission to Pike is often recalled. Upon learning that he was enrolled, Seryozha shouted with joy so joyfully that he nearly tore off the performance that was then going on stage. Fellow students for some reason gave him the nickname “Broom,” and Sergei still believes that it would be possible to come up with something more original.
At the theater institute, he not only learned the nuances of acting, but also tried himself as a director. As a third-year student, he staged the play “Scenes from Family Life,” where he played a leading role in addition to everything. Also a significant milestone in his student life was the role of Demoulins in the staged Jurassic performance "Danton". Shchukin School Vinogradov graduated with honors.
Carier start
The young specialist - certified actor Sergei Vinogradov - received several offers at once from various theaters in the capital, although in the role of the third plan. He chose the Satyricon, which was led by an explosive and emotional, talented and fully committed to work Konstantin Raikin. Sergey Vinogradov worked in his team in a very busy schedule, since Satyricon gives 29-30 performances per month. Here, the young actor gained rich experience, but a year later, for reasons that he did not cover, he moved to the Roman Viktyuk theater and worked there until it collapsed in 1995.
At Viktyuk, Sergei Vinogradov played in a lot of cult performances, the most sensational of which was The Handmaids (the role of Madame Solange). Here, the actor had to seriously engage in choreography, the skill and knowledge of which was required in the course of the action. As Sergey recalls, the performances of the performances were very non-standard, the public accepted them in different ways. For example, at the premiere of “Handmaids” in Riga, he even had to use the services of bodyguards, as they tried to steal a young handsome actor with a beautiful torso. For his role in “Handmaids”, fans presented him flowers, made gifts with a hint, such as rings. But Sergey himself chuckles, recalling all this, and explains that he has a completely normal sexual orientation.
Movie work
Being an actor of the Viktyuk theater, actor Vinogradov Sergey began to try his hand at cinema. His filmography today includes about forty roles in diverse tapes. Among the most memorable Count Kelus in “The Countess de Monsoro”, Max in the “Patriotic Comedy”, Maiors in the “Trap”, Wislenev in “On the Knives”, Sherstobitov in “The Forester” and many many others, about 40 works in total.
And his first role was Lord Arthur in the movie based on Wilde’s short story “Crime of Lord Arthur”, released in 1991. Sergei Alexandrovich believes that at present he is able to play any role, but he does not dream of Hamlet, does not aspire to receive an Oscar, does not break into the Cannes festival, he only wants to create, and create in his own way, without fear of experimenting. For example, when staging the Can-Can play, his actresses astounded the audience by performing a can-can mouth.
What is currently doing
After the collapse of the Viktyuk Theater, Sergei Vinogradov, an actor already known and beloved, moved to the Moon Theater. There he worked for 2 years and entered the Academic Theater of the Moscow Soviet. Here Sergey Alexandrovich worked until 2013, and then went, as the actors say, to serve in the Ryazan Drama Theater, but a year later he returned to the Theater named after him. Moscow City Council, where it still works. The last performances with his participation are Brukhaty in the production of Energetic People by Chomsky, Dion in the Roman comedy of the same Chomsky, Shpigelsky in Orlov's production The Month in the Village. In total, his collection contains over 50 works in the theater.
Vinogradov - Director
Sergey Alexandrovich is not limited only to the work of the actor. He is passionately engaged in directing. While still working with Viktyuk, he staged the play “Collector”. Now in his piggy bank about thirty works.
Sergei Vinogradov makes performances on the stages of the Ryazan Drama Theater, the Mossovet Theater, but most often in his own small theater, which he called S. Vinogradov's Theater Company. All his works are vivid and memorable, evoking the most diverse feelings and emotions in the audience.
I would especially like to highlight the play “Dangerous Communications”, where he played the Viscount Valmont, “Collector” (new version), “Nabokov, Mashenka”, “Foam of Days”. As he speaks of himself, the past years added wisdom to him, removed youthful maximalism, but even now, at a respectable age, if a scene suddenly turns out to be especially good at a rehearsal, Sergey Aleksandrovich is able, like a youth, to dance the dance of an Indian from an ancient tribe or something like that.
Work on television
Also, actor Vinogradov Sergey works on television. On the channel "Culture" he spoke immediately in three guises - as the author, actor and director of the program "From the Window". The first issue was dedicated to the poet V. Khodasevich, the second - to Japanese poetry in the style of "tank".
Poems in the program were read in Russian and Japanese. If we talk about literature, Vinogradov really likes the work of Vian, Fowles, Miller, he is very close to skepticism, intelligence and wit Khodasevich and absolutely unacceptable pathos Yesenin, which the actor can not stand.
Sergey Vinogradov, actor: personal life, Julia Vinogradova
Fans are debating whether their idol is married or not. When the production of the performance “Venus” was staged, Vinogradov and actress Khorkina often lingered in the theater together. According to colleagues, Khorkina hoped for a relationship, but Sergei Alexandrovich finished them before he could start, precisely because of his marital status.
In general, there are rumors that he is an excellent womanizer. On the Internet, even published a list of his mistresses, including 81 people. True or not, only Vinogradov himself knows.
He has a son Ivan, to whom he used to take kefir and cottage cheese in the children's kitchen. Now Ivan Sergeyevich has already grown up and even managed to enter the Moscow Aviation, deciding not to violate the family tradition.
Regarding the life partner of the actor, there is no information. In any case, Sergey Vinogradov himself, an actor, never talks about her. A wife, as he said in an interview, if she is an actress, requires the husband-actor to play in only one theater with her and, if possible, in one performance. He avoided this fate. Some fans believe that his half was Julia Vinogradova, but neither she nor Sergey confirm this.
Hobbies and hobbies
Sergei Vinogradov prefers not to fall into the lens of the paparazzi, so little is known about his private life. He lives on the outskirts of Moscow, in a house from whose windows a forest is visible. Sergei Alexandrovich prefers to hear the birds singing than the roar of cars. He also loves jogging in his spare time.
For many years he has been collecting old (until 1925) postcards with female faces. He really likes the angle of these unique photos, the expression of the eyes of the heroines, the organization of the frame.
Sergey Vinogradov dreams, finally, to sleep. He says that Sophia Loren looks so wonderful because she sleeps a lot.
On the Internet there is a site of Vinogradov, where everyone can go and write to their favorite actor.
