Dmitry Lysenkov, Olga Buzova, Alexander Adabashyan, Angelina Mirimskaya, Laura Pitskhelauri, Maxim Filipiev, Maria Bogatova, Alisa Grebenshchikova - an explosive mixture of St. Petersburg talents that burst onto the TV screen along with the series “Poor People”. Actors of the series “Poor People” on TNT got into the picture in a variety of ways. And I want to know more about how this happened and what they think of their heroes.
Dmitry Lysenkov
Before the series “Poor People”, the actor never starred in a purely comedy project. In this regard, Dmitry Lysenkov encountered some difficulties. As for Venya, the character of Dmitry, it was not difficult to play him. According to the actor, such people, although not among his friends, but on the street they meet constantly. So it turned out failed as a writer, but very confident in his talent Benjamin. As for the joint work with Olga Buzova, Dmitry notes that she is from a completely different world and working with her is very funny.
Olga Buzova
She was invited to the series three or four years ago. According to the script, Olga Buzova in the series “Poor People” plays herself. Buzov was not at all embarrassed by the scenario and positioning of the TV presenter as a superficial person. According to her, this is just humor, and the ability to laugh at oneself is one of Olga’s advantages. The atmosphere during the filming was very funny, especially Olga was amused by the funny game of Dmitry Lysenkov. The very same newly-made actress constantly followed the advice and recommendations of more professional colleagues. Olga’s character, of course, has a piece of the star itself, but basically, according to her, this is an artistic exaggeration.
Alexander Adabashyan
Alexander Adabashyan agreed to play the role of editor only to see how films of this format are shot and how modern youth works. Out of curiosity, I ended up in Poor People. Alexander Adabashyan believes that if an opportunity arises, it should not be missed. Alexander Buzova speaks very well. According to him, she is very pretty, adequate, self-ironic and without a plaque of star fever. Alexander himself did not watch the series with his participation.
Angelina Mirimskaya
Actors of the series “Poor People” on TNT got roles for various reasons. Angelina Mirimskaya got into the project by accident. She tried on the role of another character, but the authors liked Angelina's type so much that they even converted Marina, which at first was completely different, to her. Angelina had experience with strip dance, so she managed to cope with the role of a stripper. The shooting took place in a very friendly atmosphere. According to Angelina, all the actors and the crew turned out to be soul mates.
Laura Pitschelauri
Laura is a classmate and just a good friend of Dmitry Lysenkov. They have known each other for sixteen years. When she was invited to the casting, Dima was already approved for the role. When asked if she knew actor Lysenkov, she said that he had just left her. And it spun. According to Laura, “Poor People” is a series about dreams, spiritual purity and transparency of thought. And her heroine is a modern Petersburger who fell in love with a not-so-great and worthy writer.
Maxim Filipiev
The character of Max was written to some extent from Maxim Filipiev. Filipiev is an unprofessional actor, and therefore, not knowing how to play, he simply was himself. As a result, the character Max became the alter ego of the actor. It turns out the actors of the series “Poor People” on TNT are partly prototypes of their heroes, of course, a little exaggerated. There were times when Maxim did not want to say some phrases because of too deeply getting used to the role. But the director explained to him that these were not his words, but the dealer Max.
Maria Bogatova
For Maria, the surrogate mother Julia became an opportunity to do something that she does not dare in life. Absolutely non-conflict, balanced, not able to hit and cry in public, Maria fervently scandalizes, uses obscene language, thrash Max and shed tears of sorrow. Thus, Julia pulled out the inner essence of the actress Masha Bogatova.
Alisa Grebenshchikova
Initially, Alice was sure that she had absolutely nothing in common with Xenia. Alice is a fun girl, while Ksenia is a strict lady. But in the process of filming I realized that they are united by an ironic and sarcastic character. Alice and Ksenia are also from St. Petersburg, which means that the character’s internal inconsistency is very familiar to the actress, as well as to any resident of St. Petersburg. When reading the script, Alice sincerely laughed at his inherent humor. In her opinion, he is not at all pink and cute, and in most cases black. Grebenshchikova also believes that the series is about the true people of St. Petersburg. They can be gray today externally and internally, and tomorrow they can find a holiday in their souls and flit around the city with a wide smile and an open coat - that’s the whole charm of the characters who were perfectly played by the actors of the series “Poor People” on TNT.
