Sergey’s father is a war hero, he worked as the head of the workshop at a meat factory. Mother worked as a teacher in a kindergarten. He had no one to inherit acting genes from.

Sergei was not going to become an actor. He went to enter the theater university in order to support the girl whom he had met then. She was afraid to pass entrance exams in solitude. The Greeks could not impress the commission, he was advised to choose another profession.

Sergei Grekov wanted to prove to everyone, and first of all to himself, that he could enter the theater institute. The young man became a student at the Moscow Art Theater School, but was expelled for inappropriate behavior. As a result, Grekov graduated from the Shchepkinsky school.

The lyceum appeared before the audience in the image of a handsome captain, dressed in a snow-white uniform. On his shoulder sat a huge parrot with bright plumage. The actor still laughingly recalls trying to get the bird to play the role assigned to it. The parrot did not want to settle down on his shoulder, he strove to let his powerful beak into action.
