Sergey Viktorovich Murzin is an actor in theater and cinema, the country's main “bandit”. The images of oligarchs, leaders of criminal groups or operatives created by him on the screen do not associate the actor with a dramatic hero. But the personal life of the artist is filled with events that resemble a detective melodrama. How the creative fate of the actor was developing, what he lives with today - all the details are in our review.
The beginning of time
Sergey Viktorovich Murzin was born in December 1965 in Vorkuta, but received his acting education at the State Academy of Theater Arts of the city of St. Petersburg. At the end of his studies, the beginning actor spent eight months without work, but after a while he was lucky to get into the service of the Buff Theater. He gave four years to work in the theater. By the way, the artist got into the "Buff" by accident: at some point in the troupe of the theater a vacancy appeared, about which the actor was prompted. Gradually, life began to improve, Murzin began to realize his own profession and satisfaction from what he was doing.
Once the actor got a call from Lenfilm and was invited to a casting in the picture of Alexei Balabanov's “Brother”. Murzin passed the test, and he was approved for the role of a gangster named Krugly. Today, the actor is very grateful to fate for the fact that in his life there was work in this film. On the set of the film, Murzin met Sergey Bodrov, Jr., whom he considered an infinitely talented person with frantic organics. The artist says that he could not restrain his emotions when he learned about the tragedy in the
Karmadon Gorge, and did not hide it - he cried for a very long time and experienced the loss of a friend.
Movie work
Thanks to his participation in one of the sensational crime films of the late 90s, Murzin declared himself as a talented actor. The role of the Round became significant in his creative biography. Murzin became so accustomed to the image that he was immediately invited to other paintings of this kind. By the way, at the casting of artists for the film "Brother" there was a rather funny case. Sergey Viktorovich arrived for the test in a red jacket and with a thick chain around his neck. The director, seeing the actor, decided his fate in a minute, shouting: “Here! This is Round! ”
Today Sergey Murzin is an actor whose filmography includes more than sixty paintings in which he appears before the viewer in a certain role: a bandit, a new Russian, an oligarch or a police officer, a bodyguard. In the paintings, Murzin’s heroes are often very brutal, for example, the image of Vladimir Zagodin in “Streets of Broken Lights”, the role of the gangster Stas in the multi-part crime drama “Gangster Petersburg”. The audience was very fond of and remembered the role of the pimp Vetlyugin in the series "Obsessed". Murzin’s creative biography includes work in the paintings “Afghanistan. Point of no return ”,“ Foundry ”,“ Drug Traffic ”,“ Leviathan ”.
First marriage
Sergey Murzin is an actor whose personal life has recently become public, thanks to the Italian passions that took place in his family. And the artist himself frankly talks about all his secrets, not hiding anything. According to him, he was never a pay-boy, and began to take an interest in the female gender very early. His first sexual experience occurred when the actor was fourteen. His girlfriend was eleven years older than Sergei. However, a decent age difference did not prevent young people from dating for several months, they were interested in each other, and common topics for conversation were constantly on.
Soon after graduation, Sergei married. His chosen one was the girl Tatyana. She did not belong to the acting environment, was engaged in mathematical theory. After the wedding, the couple settled with the grandmother of the bride. The guys honestly tried to build
family happiness, but an early marriage brought nothing but resentment and bitterness of disappointment. Sergei and Tatiana broke up - each went his own way.
In marriage, the actor had a son, Cyril. Today he is already an adult and independent guy, is fond of music, plays the guitar as part of a musical group in the city of St. Petersburg.
Second attempt
For the second time, actor Sergei Murzin married already at a more mature age, revising his views on many of his actions and using the experience of previous relationships. His chosen one was actress Ksenia Khristich. Young people met at one of Sergei's pop performances. Relations soon developed into marriage, but this time nothing good happened either. There was no peace and harmony in the family, the spouses constantly sorted out relationships, quarreled, converged, separated. There was a moment when Ksenia abandoned the family, went to another man. Later returned to her husband, the couple tried to start all over again, but nothing came of it. The bright spot from this union was only two wonderful children - daughter Lyubava and son Matvey.
After the divorce, Sergey Murzin tried to establish human relations with his ex-wife for the sake of children, but the woman did not want to make contact. Today, she does not allow children to see her father, she constantly blackmails her ex-husband and bills him for past grievances. The fact that Murzin lives in rented housing does not bother the woman, leaving his wife all the property - a four-room apartment, acquired together, and does not claim to be anything. He, we must give him his due, acts very worthily. Of course, first of all, Sergey Murzin is an actor. The wife, most likely, simply was not ready for those features that occur in the family of any creative person. I could not understand and accept something. The actor himself does not exclude the possibility that he himself may be to blame for what happened. According to him, he did not always pay due attention to his wife.
Today, the artist’s heart is free, but he does not think about romantic meetings. Sergey Murzin is full of creative plans - emotional experiences forced the actor to plunge headlong into work, and he seemed to have a second wind.
M.S.M.
In addition to filming in films and pop activities, the artist directs his own Acting Studio of Sergey Murzin (M.S.M), where he helps talented children to reach their potential and find their own path in life. The main motto that guides the actor in his pedagogical activity is: “There are no mediocrity, there are undiscovered talents!” The secret that Murzin teaches beginners is very simple - to work constantly, honestly, not sparing himself, for wear and tear. And the result will not be slow to wait. This is the only way to become a good actor, according to Sergey Viktorovich. Of course, no one has canceled talent and individuality, but the main thing is labor, which, as you know, made a man out of a monkey.
An important point that is directly related to the result, Murzin considers the need for instant involvement of a student in the creative process after admission, because you can not waste time swinging. There is nothing more expensive than lost time. Murzin teaches young people not to be afraid to try, not to be afraid of mistakes, not to be afraid to look ridiculous or ridiculous. This is the only way to find your image and your way. The actor often leads newcomers to performances created by graduate students. According to Murzin, such productions illustrate the beginning actors as clearly as possible how to feel the business you are doing and burn your profession.
