What do you know about the talented actor Evgeny Sidikhin? This is a Soviet and Russian actor with great experience, who received some honorary awards over the years of his work in the cinema. This will be discussed in our article: we will talk about the biography and creative path of this talented and versatile person.
Actor Evgeny Sidikhin: biography
The future actor was born in Leningrad in 1964. In childhood, he was actively involved in sports, in particular, went to freestyle wrestling. In his studies, Eugene succeeded and took first places in various championships in the city 5 times.
However, after graduating from high school, the guy decided to enter the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography, which revealed the young man’s interest in acting.
But Sidikhin failed to realize his plans the first time, since in 1983 he was drafted into the army. He served two years and even took part in hostilities in Afghanistan. However, already in 1985, Eugene retired to the reserve and continued his studies at the institute.
It seems that the practice of free-style wrestling, sports, and then military service showed the way to the man in the cinema, as Sidikhin was primarily famous for his roles in crime films and action films. But we will talk about this a little later.
Theater work and acting debut on big screens
In 1989, he began playing on the stage of the BDT Theater. Tovtonogova. Sidikhin still serves in the theater, but nevertheless he is known more thanks to the cinema.
Evgeny Sidikhin is an actor, whose debut took place in 1991, when he received one of the main roles in the film “Countess”. The film told the love story of a young writer and an already elderly woman named Nina Grigoryevna, who was surprisingly similar to the countess who lived earlier in this house. The role of the young writer and performed by Eugene Sidikhin. The actor played in the film together with experienced actress Lyudmila Chursina.
Work in this picture has become a valuable experience for the young actor. This was followed by new interesting proposals. In the same 1991, Eugene took part in two more films: the most notable was the work in the film “Beyond the Bottom Line”. This criminal story revolved around a former boxer who was forced to racket. History inevitably approached the tragic end. It is noteworthy that one of the main roles was given to Igor Talkov, and Sidikhin was this boxer, who found himself in a difficult life situation.
Further movie roles
In the 1990s, Sidikhin had many interesting proposals, and he continued to actively act in films and play on stage. In 1993, the film "Children of Cast Iron Gods" was released, which was positively received by critics and even received a number of awards in those years. The main role was again played by Eugene, he was able to prove himself as a good dramatic actor, able to convey real emotions. This story told about the workers of the metallurgical plant in the Urals, who were in a difficult situation.
In 1994, a dramatic multi-part film called Russian Transit followed. Evgeny Sidikhin is an actor who received the main role in the film. This time he plays the courageous Alexander Boyarov, who was under suspicion and was charged with crimes, although in fact he did not commit them. And now the main character needs to deal with everything himself and conduct his own investigation.
In the film “Giselle Mania”, which was shot and released in 1995, Sidikhin received one of the secondary roles and was able to show himself as a good dramatic actor. The film told about the fate of the famous ballerina Olga Spesivtseva, who lived a difficult and eventful life.
In the same 1995, actor Yevgeny Sidikhin got the main role in the film “Wolf Blood”, which tells about a special Cheka detachment that fought banditry during the Civil War in Russia. Then it was not clear who was for the “Reds” and who was for the “Whites,” but crime had to be fought. A good cast and interesting plot ensured the success of this film and recognition from the audience.
Late 1990s and early 2000s
The end of the 1990s was very eventful for the actor. He took part in performances in the theater, and also actively acted in films. In 1998, two remarkable films were released with the participation of our hero.
First of all, this is the Retro Threesome tape, which can be attributed to the genre of lyrical drama. And one of the main roles was Sidikhin. The actor showed that he can act in different roles. He shared the screen space with Sergey Makovetsky and Elena Yakovleva. This is a lyrical film in which a man showed himself on the other side: he played a weak and weak-willed hero, whom his wife even began to change because of this.
In addition, the actor starred in the comedy film "Mom, Do not Cry!", Which then acquired its own sequel in 2005. This film was noteworthy in that it was here that such novice actors as Andrei Panin, as well as Gosha Kutsenko and others were first noted. In addition, our hero was able to show himself in a different role, despite the fact that a certain stereotypical image was established behind him, he was able to break it and show a parody of all those characters that he had played before.
Gangster Petersburg and other projects of the 2000s
Among other things, the actor Sidikhin, whose photo you see in the article, was remembered by the audience for his participation in the cult series “Gangster Petersburg”. This series has been enthusiastically received by critics and viewers and is still considered one of the most successful projects on television.
It is also interesting that Eugene is the only actor whose character took part in almost all parts of this series. In the picture, the actor played the role of Nikita Nikitich Kudasov - first a major, and then a colonel. His character did not appear only in the fifth part under the name "Opera".
Work on the series lasted from 2000 until 2007. But this does not mean that the actor did not take part in any other projects. He continues to act actively, and in a year he has several films.
Among the most noticeable and interesting in the 2000s, one can name the role in the film "Antikiller", where the then famous Gosha Kutsenko played. And the actor Sidikhin, whose biography is considered in the article, played a banal role in his career: he was a tough character named Barkas.
It is also worth mentioning participation in the series "Secret Guard", "Special Forces" and many others.
And in 2009, the man received a secondary role in the philology "Inhabited Island", which was ambiguously accepted by critics, but forever went down in the history of Russian cinema as an ambitious and expensive project by Fedor Bondarchuk.
Actor Sidikhin Eugene and his family
I want to say that you really do not often see strong families among people who are involved in acting and often act in films. They often have service romances and the like.
But actor Sidikhin behaves in a completely different way. Family is always a priority for him. He met his future wife when he was still in college, and immediately realized that this was his fate. His wife's name is Tatyana Borkovskaya. They have been married for almost 30 years.
The actor has three daughters. The eldest daughter of actor Sidikhin - Polina, was born in 1989, and 10 years later, the second daughter, who was named Aglaya, was born. In 2007, the man became a father for the third time, and his wife again gave birth to a girl who was named Anfisa.
Interestingly, the eldest daughter of Sidikhin followed in the footsteps of her illustrious father. She began acting in films at a fairly young age. She made her debut in such series as "Red" and "Traffic cops." There is no doubt that in the future the girl will have many more interesting offers, and she will be able to become a famous and successful actress, and all this thanks to her talent, and not to her famous father.
Steep Zero
It is worth highlighting another man’s work. In 2012, he became the presenter of a documentary program called Steep Zero. This program tells not about the dashing 90s, as they say, but about another era that was just as cool and interesting.
This project was highly appreciated by the audience and gained great popularity. Do not miss and you release new series.
Evgeny Sidikhin's projects in the future
Evgeny Sidikhin is an actor who does not get tired and continues to work actively. He has many projects that have been released. In 2015, the world saw several of these with Sidikhin. Also, the actor has many plans for the future.
In 2016, we are waiting for several projects, such as the series "Grapes of Grapes" and "BlockAda". You can be sure that a man will delight with his game, and we will see many more films with his participation.
Total
Evgeny Sidikhin is a man of great talent, who for some time was captured by monotony.

But still, the man was able to show himself in different roles, to prove how talented, diverse and interesting he is as a person. Thanks to his unsurpassed acting, we enjoy a large number of wonderful films, fascinating crime stories and dramatic films.
