Actor Daniil Belykh is the hero of our article. Many viewers love him for his role in the series "Matchmakers", where he played Maxim. However, the list of paintings in which he took part is so wide that special attention should be paid to this. Let's find out when and where the actor was born, what roles became significant for him, and which series with Daniil Belykh many people watch several times.
Daniel's childhood
The hero of our article was born on December 4, 1979 in the city of Irkutsk. As he recalls, his childhood passed rather unusual and peculiar. The fact is that his father, Georgy Belykh, lived and worked as a doctor in Irkutsk, his mother, Natalya Kolyakanova (actress), lived in Moscow, and his grandmother, who often had to live with the boy, was in Orenburg. Daniil Belykh replaced five schools for the entire time of study, and already from the eighth grade he tried to earn money on his own. What the boy didnât do: he washed cars, sold various newspapers, and was engaged in farce. In general, he did not even dream about the profession of an actor then.
You cannot escape fate
And there was a desire to become an actor when Daniil Belykh studied at the school of aesthetic education. At first he became a student at VGIK, but he never attended classes. A year later, he entered the famous Theater School. Schukin, who graduated successfully in 1995.
Bright start to the cinema
Daniil Belykh, whose filmography opens in his student years, became really popular in 2001, when such films with his participation as âMedicsâ, then âBourgeois-2 Birthdayâ, then âFM and the Guysâ appeared on the screens. And this is quite normal and natural. Well, how will viewers not like a charismatic and charming actor whose heroes were young, beautiful and never discouraged? For example, in âMedicsâ, Daniel played a young doctor, Andrei, who had just graduated from medical school and was constantly in some kind of ridiculous situation. In the series âFM and the guysâ he got the role of a cheerful and optimistic Vadim, who has always been the soul of the company. And in the film "Birthday of the Bourgeois" Daniil Belykh played a persistent detective Vasily.
Success needs to be consolidated
After the above pictures, the actor received offers from many directors. Daniil Belykh, whose filmography grew at an accelerated pace, consolidated his success by starring in projects such as Lily of the Valley Silver-2 (in 2004) and Cavaliers of a Starfish (also in 2004). Then Daniel had to play in the series âThank you for everythingâ (2005-2006), but in a rather unexpected way for him. His hero is a drug addict and alcoholic Alik, who killed his own uncle. It is worth saying that the role came out very expressive. Perhaps this happened because Daniel likes to make personal adjustments to words and costumes. In this case, such an actorâs habit only benefited the series.
Next iconic role

The series "Nine Lives of Nestor Makhno" (2006) gave the actor a great role as a fighter and associate of Makhno - Fedosia Schusya. Before filming, Daniil Belykh considered it necessary to fill in some gaps in knowledge, for which he turned to his history teacher for help. And in order to learn horseback riding and be fully armed, he visited Golitsyno near Moscow, where the horse regiment is located. Filming was conducted throughout Ukraine, namely in those places where Makhno himself visited. Daniel merged with his hero. And all because during the filming the locals came to the group, members of the crowd and told that their relatives were personally acquainted with Makhno and described him with sympathy and warmth. Daniel really liked the mode of operation, because after the shootings there was no need to change clothes, rush home, and again early in the morning to get up and fly to the site. They lived there in those costumes in which they starred. And although this series was released in the summer, which filmmakers do not like to do, it became very popular and was a huge success.

TV shows and more
Daniel had to play a variety of characters, but he always brought something of his own, and sometimes it even came to quarrels with the producers. This happened on the set of the series "Inheritance" in 2008, where Daniel tried on the role of intellectual Kostya. By the way, itâs difficult to even find out our hero here, as his hair was lightened and he was heavily made up.
In 2009, the series âSpecial Corps of the Investigation Departmentâ was released, where Daniel got the main role. He played the journalist Dmitry Poluyanov.
It is worth highlighting the actorâs participation in such projects as âNew Year's Ambushâ (2008), âLife that Didnât existâ (2008), âTsarâ (2009), âBasic Versionâ (2010), âWhen the Lilac Blossomsâ ( 2010), Love-Carrot-3 (2011), Dragon Syndrome (2011), Swallow's Nest (2011) and many others.
"Matchmakers"
This series is very fond of not only adults but also children. Daniil Belykh, whose biography is full of various roles, will never forget this. He said so himself, as he fully accustomed to the role of Maxim Kovalev for those 5 seasons of the series in which he took part. Our hero says that a cheerful and friendly atmosphere always reigned on the site. He was very upset when the shooting was over, because the whole team has become a big family over the years, and did not want to part with anyone.
Cupid affairs
When the series âFM and the guysâ was shot, our hero began dating Anna Slu, an actress who also took part in the filming. In 2004, the couple legalized their relationship. After some time, the actor admitted to his wife that he fell in love with her at first sight and even told his parents that he had found a wife. And the most interesting - he did all this even before she and Anna began dating! The character of both Anna and Daniel is quite explosive, which was the cause of many quarrels and conflicts. The pair then diverged, then converged again. In 2008, they nevertheless realized that nothing good would come of this union, and they parted. And officially divorced only in 2010. In 2013, Daniil Belykh, whose personal life began to improve again, married Anna, an employee of the presidential administration.
Adventurer in life
The hero of our article claims that he never cared what he looked like, what he was wearing, whether he had one or another thing, how things and furniture were arranged in an apartment. If we talk about clothes, then he is characterized by an inconspicuous style, therefore, passers-by on the streets do not always recognize Daniel.
Moreover, in life, Daniel is a real adventurer. It is enough to pay attention to where he is resting. But this is not happening in Egypt, Turkey or Tunisia. For example, he spent his honeymoon on a small island near Phuket, where he and his wife were nearly blown away by the tsunami they witnessed.
And somehow Daniel went to Cuba. As a translator, he took a local woman with him and went to travel to local villages to see not the Cuba that is shown on the covers of glossy publications, but the real one, as they say, from the inside. He wandered around these villages for four days, swam only in the ocean, did not shave. And while everyone was returning to Moscow with souvenirs, rum and cigars, our hero brought with him only vivid impressions.
And after Daniel played in the film about Makhno, he went for half a year to India. Our hero went through ayurvedic cleansing there and conquered several peaks around Everest.
Even Daniel simply loves green tea, but never brews it using tap water, but brings it specially from sources and springs. He makes tea in accordance with all the rules and in special dishes. Sometimes it even collects herbs for tea on its own, and after them goes to Buryatia or Lake Baikal.
Conclusion
However, all the adventures and hobbies of Daniel do not interfere with his work. So, in 2013, such films with his participation as âMom Will Againstâ, âVangeliaâ, âSerious Relationsâ were released. And this year, 2014, will delight the audience with the paintings âMarriage Dancesâ and âYoung Grandfatherâ, where the hero of our article is simply irresistible.
