He is well known to Russian viewers. The cat Anatoly Leonidovich has a lot of films. The list of paintings in which he played has long exceeded one hundred.
How it all began?
Anatoly was born in June one thousand nine hundred and seventy-third in a large and friendly Belarusian family. He grew up with two older brothers who became military, a sister - a successful artist and a younger sister who became an actress in the Minsk Puppet Theater.
Passion for the theater
Anatoly Kot was carried away by the theater very early. In the second grade, he participated in the school play "Kitten named" Woof ". Then he enrolled in a children's studio, played Kai in the fairy tale “The Snow Queen”, beloved by all children. When the guy graduated from high school, the question of choosing a profession was not before him. Anatoly was sure - he certainly should become an actor. He was drawn to the scene. He could not even imagine himself in another profession. It is only natural that he decided to enter the acting academy in Minsk.
The beginning of a creative life
After graduating from high school, Anatoly Kot did not work in any theater on an ongoing basis. He took part in the performances of the “Free Stage”, was involved in several performances of the Youth Theater, worked in the Puppet Theater, Theater Studio of the film actor.
Germany
In the year 2000, Anatoly was invited to Germany to work in the play "Orpheus and Eurydice." He became one of two casting actors. The premiere took place in the opera hall. Together with the actors, a male bass choir performed on stage. In addition, in the two thousand and fourth year, German viewers saw him in the solo performance "Notes of a Madman" at the Taheles Theater. This work received positive reviews from German critics, and the audience was delighted with the work of an actor from Russia.
In the two thousand and fifth year, Anatoly Kot was invited to work in Moscow, at the Theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, where he serves to this day.
First movie experience
In 2001, the actor first tried his hand at cinema. I must say that he immediately got an interesting and vivid role of an ophthalmologist in the melodrama "Guide". This work begins his filmography. Anatoly Kot did not expect that after this role, popularity will come to him. True fame came to him after the role of Prince Drutsky in the historical film "Anastasia Drutskaya" (2003). In this tape, the actor brilliantly played the role of a man who was destined to experience great, all-consuming love, but you can’t live with her, you can only die with her ...
This work has been praised at several film festivals. In Belarus, in his homeland, he became more and more popular with each new role. In 2003, he was invited to several other paintings, of which the very controversial and even controversial military drama Occupation. Mysteries ”directed by Andrei Kudinenko. In assessing this picture, “ambiguous” is the key word. What is missing in this picture is the main thing that art should be aimed at - positive, desire and the ability to give hope. The film caused a lot of controversy, negative assessments, and, in the end, was banned for showing.
Gradually, the actor came to popularity in Russia. This happened after his work in the series "Soldiers". In this tape, he played a negative role - the special person Shkalin, but the vivid and realistic image created by him was remembered by the viewer.
Anatoly Kot: biography, personal life
The actor was lucky in life - he had a brilliant career, and in addition, he is happy in his personal life. Anatoly Kot, whose photo you see in this article, registered his first marriage with the famous actress Julia Vysotskaya. Not everyone knew then that this marriage was fictitious. The young people studied on the same course, and when Vysotsky was offered a place in the troupe of the Yanka Kupala Theater, she needed the citizenship of Belarus, which she did not have. And then her friend Anatoly came to the rescue. They formed an alliance, and Julia remained to work in Minsk. Even today they are friendly, they call back and visit each other.
Anatoly met his real soul mate much later. She was a charming woman who had nothing to do with theater and cinema. Elena is a manager. The daughter Alice is growing up in the family. Today they all live in Moscow. Arriving in the capital, Elena wanted to continue her career, but it turned out that she would have to give all the earned money to a nanny. Therefore, at the family council, it was decided that the spouse would be in charge of her daughter and home.
