Actor Biography
February 25, 1972 in the family of actors of the regional Gorky Theater, Stanislav Fedorovich Pazenko and Margarita Georgievna Bondareva, a son Egor was born. At that time, the family lived in Simferopol. When the boy was 7 years old, followed by a move to Kiev, where Pazenko’s childhood passed. Inquisitive and agile, he often did not do homework and skipped school, but he could act like an actor to beat any situation, for which he was a favorite of teachers. Acting abilities and theatrical backstage at work of parents made the choice of a profession obvious.
Immediately after school, an ambitious young man first time enters the Moscow Art Theater School for the course of A. Leontiev. The game in the diploma performance impressed Oleg Nikolaevich Efremov, who invited the young actor to the Moscow Art Theater troupe. Nevertheless, in the biography of Yegor Pazenko there was a case that could cause the completion of an acting career.
He was 21 years old when, running across the Garden Ring, Yegor was hit by a car. The amputation of the leg was in question, but the doctors did everything possible. As a result, a month and a half of hospital wards, two years on crutches. And again, help came from Efremov, who offered small roles and paid a salary. After the death of Oleg Nikolaevich, the theater life of Pazenko underwent a great crisis, which marked the beginning of the depression. A sense of uselessness was filled with alcohol. At that time, Yegor took on any job: starred in commercials, voiced films, even went into business, although not very successfully. Work in the cinema helped me to get out and believe in myself again.

In the course of work on this film, Yegor faced a situation that taught him a lot. He wanted to do the trick himself, but the stuntman employed in the film asked not to take away his work. In addition, if something went wrong and the actor was injured, he would jeopardize the entire film with a huge budget. Since then, Pazenko has been of the opinion that everyone should do their job.

Then there were trips to monasteries, meetings with the elders. According to Pazenko, the church is an amazing world, which wonderful wonderful spiritual people live in. Yegor consulted with the ministers of the church and about the work. He was always offended by the role of the negative hero. And then one day, after consulting with Father Ephraim at the Vatopedi Monastery on Mount Athos, he received the answer: “Listen to your heart.” The heart did not want more negativity and, as if by magic, the roles began to take on a different color.
