The famous Russian actor Sergei Borisov was born in 1975 in the middle of spring - April 4. He is not like those actors who from childhood considered the scene to be their home - as a boy, Sergei dreamed of becoming a policeman, protecting the weak and bringing justice to the world. However, life is full of surprises, and the fate of Borisov was completely different ...
Youth of Sergey Borisov
This is one of those actors who silently do their job, enjoying every day busy with what they love. Sergei Borisov does not like to talk about his life, he does not like to talk to the press and answer endless, sometimes even indecent, questions.
As conceived in childhood, he devoted his life to serving people - he became a military man. As for the school years of Sergei, this information is known except that his family and friends - in public, the actor has never talked about his childhood and youth. Sergey Borisov is a man of action, not words, a real military man and ... a real actor.
It is only known that the youth of the actor passed in a small military Kazakh town, after which Sergey moved to Voronezh. However, here he did not stop, but the next corner of Russia, where his fate threw him, was Rostov-on-Don. It was here that life took the most unexpected turn ...
From policeman to actors
Sergey Borisov is a truly unique actor. He is one of the few people who appeared on the set exclusively by chance, without having neither the skills nor the appropriate education. Before he became an actor, Sergey was none other than an inspector of the traffic police, and he devoted 17 years of his life to this.
The turning point was the day when Sergey brought Angelina Nikonova, the film director and his future mentor, to the airport. Angelina immediately noticed the future actor, thanks to his incredibly charismatic and brutal appearance of a real Russian man.
Without thinking twice, she invited Sergei to make her debut in her film “Portrait at Twilight,” since he possessed simply perfect external data and internal strength in order to perfectly cope with the role. Thinking, Sergei agreed, and he was immediately approved for the main role. As the first role, Sergei got an extremely complex image - he had to play the crew commander of Rostov police-rapists, and the actor coped with this task perfectly.
Achievements and awards of Sergey
After filming in the film “Portrait at Twilight”, an avalanche of fame, admiration and recognition fell upon the newly made actor. Both the actor’s debut and the film itself were incredibly successful. The film received several awards at prestigious film festivals, and Sergei completely “jumped above his head” - received the prize for best actor in the Swedish film festival.
Whether the well-known Russian proverb “Lucky for newcomers” worked, or whether Angelina somehow miraculously discovered acting talent from a simple policeman, it's hard to say, but you will see his abilities yourself by watching the film. In any case, you will not regret it, as the picture turned out to be really strong.
However, the actor’s career did not end there, and at Kinotavr, where Portrait won the award for best cinematography, Sergei met Avdotya Smirnova, who immediately offered the actor a new role. The next picture in the filmography of Borisov was the film "Kokoko", in which he got only an episodic role, almost the opposite of the previous one: the actor played a priest.
Then Sergey received an offer to take part in the crime series "Wanted." The actor agreed again, and again he was incredibly successful. After the general recognition of the series, its continuation appeared - “Wanted-2”, and this is only the beginning of the artist’s brilliant career ...
The most mysterious domestic actor
As already mentioned, Sergei does not like to discuss his life with strangers. As a man who has devoted his whole life to military affairs, the actor still bears the imprint of his profession: silence, courage, modesty and rejection of idle talk. At the same time, it is impossible to describe the magnificent masculine energy that Sergey Borisov possesses. The photo of the actor is the best confirmation of this. Manly facial features and a recognizable voice that cannot be confused with anyone, makes his image truly mysterious and unique.
The most important and interesting information for fans that Sergey Borisov sacredly keeps is the personal life of the actor. This is good or bad, but absolutely nothing is known to journalists about any of Sergey’s novels or marital status. Even the most inveterate representatives of the yellow press could not find out at least some grain of truth or gossip. Sergey sacredly respects the calmness of his family and lives an ordinary life, not shining at fashionable parties and not provoking scandals.
Twilight Portrait
It is worth talking separately about the first film, in which Borisov is a front-end actor. About the film, which brought success not only to the novice artist, but also to the director, who was lucky to see the talent in a person very far from the acting world.
It is worth saying that the director of the film, Angelina Nikonova, studied in New York, and “Portrait” became her debut work, and incredibly successful. The picture was another attempt by society to understand the so-called "Stockholm syndrome", when the victim is imbued with sympathy for his offender. The phenomenon was first noticed after the Second World War, when the inhabitants of Stockholm asked to mitigate the punishment of their fascist tormentors. Why this happens, scientists can’t explain so far ...
The plot of the movie
So, “Portrait at Twilight” was shot in 2011 by Angelina Nikonova. Starring Sergey Borisov, Olga Dykhovichnaya and Sergey Golyudov. The main character, Marina, is a young, beautiful and energetic woman who is quite happy with her life. However, she will face a huge grief and test - the girl is raped. After suffering horror, humiliation and pain, the woman’s worldview changes completely, as does herself. Marina wants to take revenge on the offenders and for this purpose she comes to a dirty eatery every day. One day, luck smiles at a woman, and she meets one of the rapists. However, Marina is in no hurry to kill the offender. Instead of delivering a crushing blow, she leaves her loving husband and begins to live with her tormentor ...
