This actor is well known to millions of viewers of the Soviet Union and Russia. Mostly, film roles brought him popularity. Not everyone knows that Vladimir Steklov is an actor who successfully works not only in films, but also in the theater.
Childhood
Volodya Steklov was born in Karaganda on the third of January, one thousand nine hundred and forty-eight. The boy’s childhood passed in Astrakhan. He was raised by his mother and grandmother. He did not know his father. At school, Volodya did not shine much, and after school he fled to the street, where his peers and football were waiting for him. In other words, the boy grew up like millions of his peers in the Soviet Union. But still there was something that distinguished him from other boys. This is a serious passion for the theater.
This addiction was instilled into him by his mother, who worked as an accountant in the theater. She took her son to all the plays, first at the puppet theater, then at the Youth Theater, and later at the dramatic one. They never missed a tour of metropolitan companies. After the performances, she and her mother discussed the production. Sometimes their opinions did not coincide, but this did not prevent them from remaining avid theatergoers. Volodya especially liked opera performances: Rigoletto, Faust, Demon. He knew them by heart. However, the young man for a long time did not even dream of an acting profession. The first thoughts about her appeared only after he enrolled in a theater studio.
Once their theater team took part in a regional amateur show and won a prize. They showed the play "Two colors." The jury especially noted the role of Glakhar, which was brilliantly performed by the young Steklov, and advised to enter the theater university. Vladimir doubted for a long time whether he should go into this profession, whether he would cope.
After graduation, the young man followed the advice of professionals.
Theater School
Despite the disgusting diction, Vladimir easily entered the theater school in his native Astrakhan. True, the young man was given the condition that during the first semester he had to correct the flaw. Vladimir Steklov took this matter seriously, began to engage with teachers and soon became a full-fledged student.
After graduating from the second year, the young actor decided to try his luck in Moscow and went to enter GITIS. The attempt was unsuccessful, and Vladimir Steklov, whose photo you see in this article, returned to Astrakhan.

The troupe brought the performance "Idiot" to the capital, in which many popular actors were engaged. Vladimir played the very complex role of Prince Myshkin. His work did not go unnoticed.

His filmography began to increase rapidly. Vladimir Steklov is removed almost without interruption, and does not refuse episodic roles. Many of the more eminent and popular actors could envy his demand at that time. This is largely due to the fact that, according to Steklov himself, in this profession there should be no passing works. That is why he takes the smallest role very seriously. By the end of the eighties, Vladimir Steklov is already among the ten most popular actors. Of considerable importance in this played a major role in the melodrama "Homeless.
