The series "Univer" is known and loved by many. The film shows the life of modern students, their everyday worries, joys and sorrows. Since the heroes still do not have enough life experience, from time to time they fall into comic situations or face serious troubles. Optimism, out -of-the-box thinking and, of course, support of friends help the guys to solve all the problems.
One of the bright characters in the series is Gene, the guard of the oligarch Sylvester Andreyevich. The actor copes with his role perfectly, so he managed to earn the attention of fans. Spectators are interested in the biography of the artist, his personal life and value orientations. So, who is Gena from Univer?
Children's years of the artist
The gene who jealously guards his employer was played by Andrei Sviridov.
The future actor was born in the city of Mogilev (Belarus) in the family of an accountant and philologist. A little later, the younger sister Alena was born. Andrei Nikolaevich’s childhood memories are happy. His family lived very friendly. Both parents and children loved and respected each other.
The boy was tall, but he was gaining muscle mass slowly. One could only dream of looking like the Gene from Univer. He did well in mathematics, but in Russian he received “deuces”. Relations with classmates developed well, however, once I had to teach a bully a lesson. For a bold act, Andrei earned applause.
Sports career
At five, Sviridov came to the basketball section. The data of this sport were good, it’s not without reason that fans today are wondering how tall Gene is from Univer. By the age of 19, the guy took place as an athlete: he received the title of master of sports, as part of his team he won the championship of Belarus and twice - the championships of the Soviet Union. In the 90s of the last century, Andrei Nikolaevich played at The George Washington University. The translator of the team, who was engaged in rowing in the past, helped the athlete get in shape . It is possible that without the help of this person, the Gene from Univer would not have taken place.
Unfortunately, basketball had to be abandoned due to an annoying foot injury. And the age to continue training was inappropriate.
Not every athlete after completing a career manages to start life anew, but Andrei Sviridov was able to cope with himself and succeed in another area. So there was Gene from "Univer", whose biography in the series is not sanctified. The audience is not familiar with the past of Gennady Vinogradov, but they have the opportunity to observe how the security guard is managing his duties professionally.
New profession
The childhood dream of the future artist was to star in Hollywood. Parents did not believe in the success of their son, but the guy decided that he would achieve his goal anyway, and again went overseas. After graduating from acting school in Los Angeles, Andrei Sviridov starred in the films “Fighting spirit”, “Next dinner”, “The inside job”, in the clips of Enrique Eglesias, Robbie Williams and a short film. The starring role - Gene from Univer, whose biography is probably of interest to fans of the series, was yet to come.
The actor moved to Russia at the suggestion of his friend, artist Andrei Krasko. At home A.S. Pushkin and M.Yu. Lermontova Andrei Nikolaevich made a good acting career. By 2012, Sviridov's filmography was 72 roles, of which 65 - in Russian films and TV shows. The most famous works are Gena from Univer, Skull from Suicides, Mikhail from Road to Easter Island, Gnome from Closed School.
Sviridov often gets the roles of security guards, bandits, mystical characters, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Perhaps the reason for this lies in the type and growth of a young man. The growth of the Genes from the series "Univer" is 212 centimeters. This role made the actor a real star, so fans have every chance to see Andrei Sviridov in new series and films.
The personal life of the actor
In life, Andrei Nikolaevich is very modest, prefers not to do everything that happens to him outside the set, in the public domain. Behind the movie star is a divorce, but today Andrei has a girl whose name the general public does not know. In one of his interviews, the actor admits that he would like to build the same family as the one in which he grew up.
Future plans
Roles for Andrei Nikolaevich are selected in accordance with his type. The actor himself dreams of playing a young, romantically-minded young man, but not Romeo. Perhaps in the future a new film will appear, the script of which will be written specifically for Sviridov.
