He became the cutest and most charming captain of the Soviet Union, whom many girls dreamed of marrying. And what a sincere and with a heightened sense of justice Mr. Sholto got from “Treasures of Agra” (it should be noted that in this film he played the roles of twins - Bartholomew and Tadeusz Sholto). A prudent entrepreneur, Vasily Vozhevatov from The Cruel Romance, is also he. Like the well-known truant of the USSR, Gena Lyapishev or Oleg, the lawyer from Insomnia is a vile, but very intelligent and prudent person. So who is he? Learned? Yes, of course, this is the actor Proskurin Viktor Alekseevich, whom it is impossible to confuse with anyone.
Childhood
Little Vityusha got his first impressions in the city of Aktyubinsk (formerly Atbasar), where he was born. In February 1952, his mother, being in the last month of pregnancy, decided to accompany her husband, Father Viti, on a business trip (he accompanied refrigerators and railway cars). On February 8, they had a son, the future actor Proskurin. Documents for the baby were issued in the same place, in Aktyubinsk, and soon they transported him to the capital, to Moscow, where he spent his childhood.
His first dreams
From the very beginning of his life, Vityusha was a very independent and responsible boy. His parents worked a lot, and he was left to his own devices. He studied at school pretty well, he was a solid good guy. He loved to read, and sometimes books were far from the school curriculum, which his teachers were often amazed at. But when school lessons ended, the future actor Proskurin I hurried to the little circle. It was at that time that he realized that he wanted to become an actor. Good actor. True, there was another little dream - to become a clown.
As a fifteen-year-old youth, he felt like a fully grown man, already an established person. Victor enjoyed visiting the studio at the Palace of Pioneers, where he caught the eye of the assistant director of the film studio to them. Gorky. So he got into his first picture, which was shot in Yalta. Of course, the student was temporarily transferred to study in one of the schools of the city, but he did not attend classes. Young actor Proskurin He returned home from filming as an excellent pupil only because he had good grades in Yalta.
Way to Lenkom
After graduating from school, Proskurin made a firm decision to enter the theater institute only. But he was denied admission due to a cut in his eyes and growth. Therefore, he sent his feet to the Shchukin school.
After studying, without taking root in Taganka, the Proskurin actor, whose filmography in just a few years will be of great interest to admirers of his talent, came to Lenkom. It was there that he had a lot of interesting and diverse roles that showed new facets of his talent.
He spent almost all his time in the theater. And what was around him on stage was for Proskurin the same reality as what surrounded him in ordinary life, which flowed outside the walls of the theater.
“You go to school, bang - the second shift!”
In the sensational picture four decades ago, the picture "Big Change", which instantly brought fame to the actor, he got when he was still a student. After filming the television film “Appointment” and the film’s debacle, saddened actors gathered with director Alexei Korenev to discuss the current situation. And suddenly he offered Victor the role of Genka Lyapishev. So he got the role, after the performance of which the whole Soviet Union found out about him.
Until now, this first rather successful television series remains beloved by millions of viewers, and phrases from it have long gone to the people.
Movie roles
It is difficult to immediately recall all the characters that actor Victor Proskurin played during his career. Films in which he starred, once again prove that his talent is simply immense. Indeed, from the very beginning of his career, Viktor Alekseevich has been striving for diversity, despite the fact that this (and such incidents happen) can cause some damage to his career. And he played a lot of roles in his cinema for his long life: the foreman in the School Waltz, his father with many children (Once Upon a Time Twenty Years), the hussar in The Last Victim, border guard Alexander Blinov (“Marry the Captain”) . One cannot help recalling the films of Igor Maslennikov - The Queen of Spades, which brought the roles of Herman and The Treasures of Agra to the actor’s baggage, complementing his filmography with the characters of the Sholto twins.
Recent years have supplemented this list with new interesting roles. Grandfather Trofim in "The Fighters", dad Nastya Lyagushkina in the "Princess Lyagushkina", a lawyer in "Insomnia". And lawyers and homeless people, postmen and criminal authorities, doctors and boyars were still played.
By the way, after the first steps in art, actor Victor Proskurin secured the reputation of not only a talented, but also a scandalous person. His biography is full of such cases on the set. This found a response in the writings with the venerable directors of modern cinema. Because of this, the directors invited Proskurin to the re-duet only in exceptional cases. But even despite such a complex character, Viktor Alekseevich still retains the glory of a “volcanic actor,” who can embody his hero on the screen like no other.
Amorous brawler
The theater has remained the only and inexhaustible, full-fledged and unceasing love of the actor for many years. But admirers of his talent are still interested in how he lives outside the wings and on the set of Proskurin. The personal life of Viktor Alekseevich from the first appearance on the big screen began to interest fans of his talent. And with all this, the actor entered into an official marriage three times.
His first wife was Olga Gavrilyuk, who was five years older than him. But this did not strike the eye at all, because Proskurin looked older than his years. Soon their daughter Alexandra was born (this is the only child of the actor). So Victor Proskurin lived for some time. His family, albeit small, but sincerely loving, has always been his strong rear. But great love did not work.
Proskurin very quickly fell in love with actress Tatyana Derbeneva and went to her. This marriage, unlike the first, lasting less than a year, was somewhat longer - as much as three years. The family was allocated an apartment, but soon after the housewarming they parted. After all, the actor met his new big love - Svetlana Kolganova.
He met his third wife in Leningrad at film screenings. Just a few days later, the moment came when in just two hours, Proskurin managed to say goodbye to his second wife and start a new life. This marriage was the longest with the actor. Thanks to Svetlana, he lasted twenty years. The wife took upon herself all the housework, and she constantly asserted to her husband about his genius. And he survived in the mid-nineties after a terrible car accident only thanks to her. And although the separation took place peacefully, after deliberation and repeated weighing of the situation, Svetlana still loves her ex-husband. The fact that he now has a new young wife, Irina, gives her a slight sadness.
Proskurin does not like journalists very much; he gives interviews extremely rarely. He sincerely does not understand why his duties as a popular actor include a public confession about his life and creative plans, because on stage he is already “naked” ...
