The acting profession is one of the most difficult, because it requires not only talent, but also unprecedented patience. Domestic actors are subject to yet another misfortune - a great desire to break out on the western stage. Alexander Korshunov is one of the most successful domestic actors who managed to achieve the desired fame without even crossing the borders of his native state.
Actor's childhood
Born in a creative family in Moscow, little Sasha simply had no chance of another job. From a very young age, the boy went to the theater with his parents and absorbed the creative atmosphere. Therefore, he quickly realized that he wanted to be an actor. In addition, the boy adopted not only acting talent from his family, but also the desire (and most importantly - the ability) to draw. His surrounding talents were noted by everyone around him, but Korshunov was not going to become an artist.
Further biography of Alexander Korshunov and the beginning of a career
Having turned from a little boy into an adult guy who was responsible for all his actions, Alexander did not change his dream. The guy did everything possible in order to connect his life with the theater. And therefore, he soon entered the Moscow Art Theater and proved to be a really talented actor. Literally from the first year, the guy began to be invited to participate in professional productions and skits. On the stage of the Moscow Art Theater, Alexander Korshunov turned into a sought-after actor. Having played there for nine whole years, Korshunov began to think about how to change the scene. After going through many options, Alexander chooses the Maly Theater, because once his father shone here, and this place became a landmark for the whole family.
Other interests of the actor
Soon, working as an actor for Korshunov becomes too little. Since the early 2000s, he begins not only to play in theater projects, but also to engage in their directing. The creative potential of the man did not go unnoticed: Alexander annually takes part in various creative contests and receives awards that once again confirm his talent. Actor Alexander Korshunov can be found in film projects quite rarely. Korshunov considers himself a theatrical person and spends all his creative efforts on the stage, where you can chat live with the audience. Therefore, television projects in the career of Korshunov, in spite of all his popularity, are not so many. One of the most memorable, of course, can be called the “Brest Fortress”.
Role in the film "Brest Fortress"
The role of Peter Gavrilov has become important for both the actor himself and the iconic for the entire film. Alexander Korshunov in the image of a brave commander, hard and kind at the same time, was remembered by very many. Korshunov embodied the image of the hero exactly as he imagined it - a strong man who wants to achieve his goal and protect all his subordinates.
The personal life of the actor
Unlike many of his colleagues, Korshunov never made romance with colleagues. The man was looking for the one that could become his companion for life. No one could even think that Alexander, immersed in work with his head, would unexpectedly find his love outside the venues. With Olga, the actor met behind the curtains, where a woman performed the role of an artist. As a person who is also directly related to this art, Alexander Korshunov quickly found a common language with the girl. Pretty soon, Olga and Alexander, realizing that their feelings were serious, got married.
In the family of the actor are two children who have already found themselves in life. The eldest son, Stepan, like his father, became a theater actor. The guy became the third in their family who performs on the stage of the Maly Theater, delighting the audience with his game. Stepan has not yet thought about roles in television projects. According to his father, he is completely involved in the theater. The youngest daughter, Claudia, on the contrary, has been acting in films for several years. The girl is quite successful in this area, and Alexander is justly proud of her.
