But the film was shot not only by professionals. One of them was Dmitry Gumenetskiy.
Actor at will
His debut took place in the film by Sergei Solovyov. In "Tender Age", the special forces major (the real profession of Gumenetsky) had such a small role that he was not even mentioned in the credits. This happened in 2000. The officer had a strong desire to act in film, and after a while he went to the casting of the "Brigade". Director Alexey Sidorov who saw him was impressed by the appearance of a military officer: a large neck, scars, a shaved head. The man seemed to have come down from a portrait of a new Russian from the 1990s. Approval for the role of Schmidt, the head of Bely’s guard, required a lot of time from the officer. What did Dmitry Gumenetskiy do? The actor, without hesitation, left the service. Until 2009, he built his cinematic career, but due to lack of demand he was forced to return to the internal troops.
Filming in the "Brigade"

We are talking about the action movie "Boomer" (2003), where he had a small role as a cop. In the same year, Vadim Abdrashitov filmed Magnetic Storms, which collected a large number of awards.

Then came "Antibumer" and, finally, the third film of the series "Emergency Call", where an unprofessional artist managed to play the main role of Leshy. Later there was another episode, then a break until 2013. The last character played was the precinct from the Kazakh series "Price of Life".
