The role of V. G. Kryuchkov in the series “Matchmakers-4”
As already mentioned above, it was in this series that actor Vladimir Kryuchkov completely revealed himself. Who did this wonderful actor play in Matchmakers ? Here he played the energetic director of the Massandra winery - Vladimir Mikhailovich. This is a nice person, radiating kindness and warmth, who attracts others with his bright charm and sincerity. He is able to appreciate the noble deeds of people, regardless of their social status, which confirms his attitude to the degrading Mitya, "saving" the winery from robbery, which he himself organized.
The director understands perfectly well that he is not subject to sobriety and exemplary behavior, but the fact of Mityaya’s participation in the false protection of the plant from robbers makes him a reliable person in the eyes of noble Vladimir Mikhailovich. The wide soul of the leader orders to make a sharp-witted honest guard out of the thieving Mityai and shake his hand for an impromptu excursion for an important guest. But she (the soul) allows him to make a sharp remark to the confused employee. Kryuchkov talentedly played a meeting with a celebrity - Philip Kirkorov: he is benevolently glad, but does not fool around a pop star and does not fawn on him. The actor so organically fit into the role of the director of the plant that now it seems that the head of the famous enterprise should be just that.
