Today, one of the most popular Russian actors is Pavel Priluchny, whose photo and name appear on the pages of newspapers and magazines.
Dreamed to become a gangster
The small town of Berdsk, located near Novosibirsk, is the place where Pavel Priluchny spent his childhood. The biography of the actor originates in the 90s. And this time turned out to be very difficult for Russia and the entire Russian people: the most powerful world power — the Soviet Union — collapsed, a political and economic crisis erupted in the country. In large cities, not to mention the small ones, the crime rate has increased significantly.
So, Berdsk was a real stronghold of criminal gangs. Disassembly and bloodshed were constantly arranged here. Most city guys dreamed of becoming bandits. Pavel Priluchny was no exception. And the romanticization of the criminal image was greatly facilitated by the famous and popular at that time series “The Brigade”. Fortunately, little Pavel’s dreams of a gangster future did not come true, unlike his school friends, who later thundered into the zone ...
The fact that Pavel “didn’t go anywhere” is a great merit of his parents. The actor’s father was a boxer, and his mother was a choreographer. Therefore, in order to occupy their son, they gave him to dancing and boxing. Thus, all his free time from school was occupied by the boy, and there was simply no strength left for any kind of brawl. According to Paul, he did not like dancing, because he believed that this was not a man’s occupation. But boxing respected and dealt with it with great pleasure. In addition, the guy had an explosive character, and he loved to wave his fists. At the age of 14, Priluchny already received the title of candidate for master of sports. But this was the end of his boxing career. At that time, he already had more than a dozen concussions, so he reasonably decided that it would be safer to keep his head, which may still be useful to him in life.
Theatre
When Paul turned 13 years old, grief happened in his family - his father died. Due to the difficult financial situation, Priluchny left the choreographic school, in which he successfully studied. Then the guy decided to enter the Novosibirsk Theater. And he succeeded.
Five years of training were not in vain. Priluchny felt that he had a talent, that acting career is his destiny. After graduating from the theater school, he successfully passed the selection and was accepted into the troupe of the Novosibirsk Globus Theater. Pavel Priluchny spent two years here. The roles that he played in the performances of "The White Sheep" and "NEP" were undoubtedly vivid and some of the best in the theater, but not of its level. Therefore, without saying anything to anyone, Pavel left everything and set off to conquer Moscow.
Moscow difficulties
The capital did not meet the future celebrity with open arms. As soon as Pavel Priluchny arrived in Moscow, major troubles immediately fell on him.
Since the actor had no relatives or acquaintances in the city, he turned to a real estate agency in order to find a place to live. In one of the Moscow offices they took 15 thousand rubles from him as a prepayment and said that a realtor would meet with him in the evening. However, at the appointed time, no one came. And the guy had to spend the night at the station.
Appeal to law enforcement did not produce results. There he was "pitied", saying that he was still very lucky, as people are bred for a lot of money. And they advised me to go home. But Pavel Priluchny was not one of those who surrenders so quickly and abandons his dream. He decided to deal with the deceivers himself. He came to a real estate agency and made a scandal. A fight ensued. However, he was not able to return the money, he was lucky that at least he left alive.
However, further on, the actor began to develop not so badly. He enrolled in a Raikin course at the Moscow School of the Moscow Art Theater. I got at my disposal a dorm room. So the study began. It would seem that life began to improve, but then love suddenly came and mixed all the cards ...
Fell in love with a vampire
It was 2006, Pavel Priluchny then finished the first course. At the freshmen exam, where Pavel was just on the beat, came American actress Nicky Reid (vampire Rosalie from the movie "Twilight") with her friend. Nicky drew attention to a young and talented actor. Then they met already at a party in the hostel, and there they met. And this meeting ended with Niki handing over plane tickets and staying in Moscow for another week, having moved from the hotel to Pasha’s apartment.
Just as Paul did not know English, so Nicky did not know Russian. Therefore, their translator was the girlfriend of actress Sage. However, the language barrier did not stop them from falling in love. They understood each other without words.
A week later, Nicky went back to America, but the lovers constantly corresponded, chatted on Skype and did not forget about each other for a minute. Pasha began to intensively study English. A month later, Nicky returned to Moscow, and her wrist was adorned with the tattoo “PRILECHUTNY”. Paul not only won the heart of the American beauty, but also lost his head. For the sake of Nicky, he dropped out of the Moscow Art Theater. The lovers decided to get married, and he began to work hard to save up money, and his studies only bothered him. As Pasha later admitted, he then put at stake everything that he had and ... lost. At some point, Nicky simply stopped calling him, writing and did not contact him at all. Since then, they never saw each other again ...
The path to fame
Fortunately, the disappointment that befell the actor on the love front did not put an end to his career. On the contrary, offended by such neglect on the part of the American starlet, Priluchny decided to return again to the fulfillment of his dream - to become a famous actor. He again entered, only not at the Moscow Art Theater, but at GITIS. In 2010, Paul received the coveted diploma.
Even during his studies, films were released on the screens of domestic television, where Pavel Priluchny was shot. So, the debut of the young actor was the popular series “Club”. Then he participated in the projects “Travelers”, “Web”, “Children in a cage”, “School number one” and “Love.ru”.
Well, a real success for Pavel Priluchny was his participation in the action-packed film "On the Game", which was released in 2009. The actor played one of the main characters of the film - a cool gamer nicknamed Doc. Thanks to a relevant computer theme, Pavel Priluchny became a real idol for the multimillion-dollar youth of Russia. By the way, the actor himself admitted that, like his hero, he loved to play "Contra", so he did not have to reincarnate much.
Following the film “On the Game” came its continuation, “On the Game 2. A New Level” (2010) and the eight-episode series “Gamers” (2012), in which the hero of the Priluchny DOC becomes the central figure of everything that happens. According to Paul, he played an absolute evil.
Tattoo
Especially for the role in the film “On the Game”, actor Pavel Priluchnyi made an unusual tattoo on his neck, stylized as a bar code, with the word “doc”.
According to the actor, he always dreamed of getting a tattoo. And then there was such an opportunity. The director of the film was looking for some zest for his hero, and Pavel came up with such an unusual tattoo. Many believe that the tattoo tied Priluchny to his hero, as it shows a “doc”. But Paul does not agree that this symbol is suitable for only one hero. According to him, “doc” can be decrypted in different ways, and there are a lot of subtexts in his tattoo.
The actor even said that his tattoo is a kind of birthmark, and he is not going to part with it. And for filming in historical films, you can always cover it with makeup.
Famous schoolboy
So, thanks to the cyberpunk “On the game”, everyone found out who Pavel Priluchny was. The filmography of the actor began to replenish rapidly. In 2010, he starred in the film "Children Under 16 ...", where he played yesterday's schoolchild, entering adulthood.
In 2011, the series “Closed School” appeared, which immediately gained popularity among the teenage part of the visual audience. So, in the series, Pavel plays 16-year-old schoolboy Maxim Morozov. The image turned out to be very ambiguous: on the one hand, the hero of Priluchny is a spoiled, selfish and rude son of wealthy parents who always gets what he wants, and on the other hand, he is a vulnerable youth who is not understood by everyone. In the series, Maxim Morozov, along with other students, is investigating a series of terrible events taking place in a remote elite school located in the forest.
Preferences
Talking about his career in cinema, Priluchny admits that he prefers to act in feature films rather than in TV shows. But he was serious about working at the Closed School. This project captivated and interested the actor. In general, with regard to heroes, the right characters are not for him. He has such roles in the Moscow Drama Theater. For example, there he successfully plays Prince Caspian in the play of Poselsky.
Pavel Priluchny loves the theater. He believes that on the stage there is an important communication for the actor with the audience. Thanks to the theater, he manages to maintain his tone.
Priluchny has the following theatrical roles: Myshkin in the play "The White Sheep", Shervinsky in the Days of the Trubins, Oprishka in the musical "NEP", Fedka Katorzhny in "Demons", Prince Caspian in the eponymous theater play on Malaya Bronnaya and others.

A family
Pavel Priluchny and Agata Mutseniece met while working in the series “Closed School”. And right away Pavel absolutely did not like Agatha. In addition, at that time, the actress was already in a relationship. Therefore, with Priluchny Muceniece behaved rather coldly.
Agatha's inaccessibility, on the contrary, spurred Paul, who was used to pursuing his own. The culmination was the moment when the characters had to kiss in the series. Priluchny flatly refused this. As Pavel later told, at that moment he was afraid of only one thing: to fall in love over the ears. Agatha dreamed about this kiss.
However, the scene of the lovers was successfully filmed, and a real feeling flared up between the actors. Their romance developed rapidly. Paul on the first date made an offer to Agatha! The young people lived only two weeks together and decided to tie the knot. Lovers married secretly. Only the closest relatives and friends attended the ceremony. Even parents could not fly to check in. Then Agatha announced that she was pregnant, and the father of the child - Pavel Priluchny. The biography of the actor in January 2014 was replenished with another happy fact: they had a son, Timofey, with his wife.
