Those who have not seen his previous works in the cinema or theater, were able to touch his work five years ago, when the series “Closed School” was released. Mikhail Remizov, which will be discussed, played the role of Konstantin Viktorovich Voitevich, a permanent teacher of biology at the elite Logos school. His character was a variant of the teacher of the old formation, but this is not strange, because Voitevich spent many years in the orphanage, which was located in the same estate as today's school,.
School years
Mikhail Remizov belonged to that cohort of talented actors for whom each role was like a small life. The audience did not imagine him on the screen playing the role of bandits, homeless people, collective farmers or asocial elements. His face and become silently demanded by the roles of academics, doctors, engineers, teachers - any representatives of the intelligentsia.
Mikhail Grigoryevich Remizov was born on November 9, 1948 in the capital of the Soviet Union, in Moscow. He studied at the Moscow Art Theater School, which he graduated in 1973. And he didn’t do it right away, but only after a few years. His fellow students were Svetlana Kryuchkova, Andrei Martynov and Elena Proklova.
While still on the student bench, Mikhail Remizov played his first role in the movie. It was one of the first Soviet TV series "Big Break." Yes, the role was small, but the actor was remembered.
Life in the cinema
His fate on the set and on the stage throughout his creative life was very bright and rich in great roles. The audience has kept each of his characters in memory until now, for many years. Mikhail Remizov starred in more than six dozen TV shows and films.
After graduation, he enters the theater of the Soviet Army. A little later he worked in the Youth Theater of Krasnoyarsk, the drama theater of Tomsk. Only after such an experience does Mikhail Remizov return to Moscow. The actor began his service at the Stanislavsky Theater. And a few years ago, he begins a new round of his career as a teacher of acting at specialized courses.
Andrey Kovalev
The series "Engagement Ring" was created for the viewer who is already tired of paintings about the police, brother, professionals or special forces. And here he was able to see the story of the most ordinary people, but with a difficult fate. All relations between the characters were so truthfully described by the authors and played by the actors that sometimes it seemed that the whole action was taking place somewhere nearby, on the next street. The situations in which the actors were drawn into could become a fictional story for everyone in a few days. It was a kind of fairy tale about Cinderella in a modern way.
Mikhail Remizov, whose photo often appears on the pages of glossy publications, played in this series the father of the main character - Nastya Lapina. His character, Andrei Fedorovich Kovalev, is a 70-year-old elderly man. At his age, he is quite a strong, stately person. He worked for many years as an aircraft designer and statesman. Kovalev has been leading people for a long time and is already used to constantly making responsible, serious decisions. For him, his principles are very important, which he adheres to in any situation. He could not have thought that his beloved student and ally, Gene Lukin, managed to put his interests much higher than public ones.
Despite his apparent severity, Kovalev warmly treats his newborn daughter and tries to do as much as possible for her. So very talented played this role, Mikhail Remizov, an actor of Soviet cinema.
Konstantin Voitevich or Helmut von Hammer?
Even for this one role he played, we can confidently say that Mikhail Grigoryevich was an actor from God. He managed not only to get used to this role, but also to present it to each viewer wonderfully and sincerely. He so beautifully conveyed the emotional state of his character, which made it possible to make the idea of the series in general and of his role in particular quite bright and unforgettable.
Amazing and unique features and capabilities were demonstrated by Mikhail Remizov, whose films can be watched an infinite number of times. But as they say, it is better to look once. And understand.
So, the boarding school "Logos". An elderly biology teacher Konstantin Viktorovich Voitevich. At first, everything seems to be mundane: a strict teacher, equally demanding of both “golden youth” and ordinary students who came here after winning a grant. In reality, not everything is so simple. His real name is Helmut von Hammer. They came to the USSR as a child after the suicide of their father, a faithful ally of the Fuhrer and a Nazi scientist. The Nazis, who moved to the Soviet Union in order to continue their research (which was conducted by Helmut's father), brought him with them. Already here he received his new name. The Nazis raised him, and he, in turn, was directly involved in their development.
He is absolutely sincere in his work and devotion to the great idea of creating a superman until the moment when “his” people betrayed him. Helmut will burn alive in the forest, but will survive, having managed to tame the wolf (he always had amazing abilities in communicating with animals). Cured using Ingrid medicines, he begins to take revenge. He will blow up the school dungeon. In the explosion, project manager Vladlen Kolchin, aka Ritter Wulf, will die. Unfortunately, in parallel with this, all people - teachers and students located in this territory - are infected with a terrible deadly virus (also one of the Ingrid developments).
The last path of the great actor
His heart stopped beating on the night of September 17, 2015. The fault was an extensive heart attack. He did not live less than two months before his birthday, which would become 67th. A lot of ideas and plans, unfortunately, remained in theory. A large number of projects have remained incomplete.
Mikhail Grigoryevich was the father of three children, knew several foreign languages, was engaged in fencing and gymnastics.
Farewell funeral was held in his native theater named after Stanislavsky. All comers came there to pay respect to the actor. Last time.
They buried Mikhail Remizov at the Vagankovsky cemetery.
