There are many actors who are remembered by us for roles in the series. At the beginning of the 2000s, thanks to his participation in several seasons of "Deadly Force", St. Petersburg actor Sergey Koshonin became famous. His first shootings took place in the late seventies, but he received popular love only after this series. Since then, he is often invited to shoot, but the main roles are no longer offered.
Carier start
Since childhood, Sergey Koshonin dreamed of becoming a military man. To do this, he wanted to enter the Gorelovsk school, but in the end he passed a competition in the theater. Despite the lack of preparation, his talent was noticed and the young man was enrolled in the ranks of students. It is worth noting that at that time he already had minimal experience in the acting path - he played Igor in the film "Diary of the school principal." At that time, he was in 8th grade and got on the set quite by accident - the director liked it. Oleg Borisov, who was busy in this film, persuaded Sergei to enter GITIS.
Sergey Anatolyevich Koshonin entered LGITMIK by accident. He entered the institute out of interest, decided to see what is needed for admission. He didn’t cook anything on purpose, which is why he distinguished himself from other applicants. Instead of a musical number, he played a simple melody on aluminum spoons. His course was strong enough, together with Sergey, Igor Sklyar and Andrey Krasko were sitting on a student bench.
"Destructive force"
You can not talk about the biography of Sergei without mentioning his most famous role. Sergey Koshonin came to the set with his friend. For a long time, the director could not decide how to distribute the roles between them. Initially, Sergey was supposed to get the role of Zhora Lyubimov, but again the case decided everything - the costume of Verigin did not fit his serial partner and friend Evgeny Ganelin.
For this role Sergey Koshonin (actor) received the title of “Honored Artist of the Russian Federation”. He parted with friends on the series, but conversations with the producers were not always peaceful - because of a little scandal, Sergei was not even taken to shoot in South Africa and America.
Around the same time, the actor starred in other series about power structures. In 2010, together with Yevgeny Leonov-Gladyshev (played by Shishkin in “Breaking Strength”), he visited the Kalashnikov factory, the story of this weapons master became the basis for the series “I Have Honor”, where he took part.
Personal life
Koshonin Sergey (actor) is married. His life partner Lolita is engaged in farming and brings up his son Ivan. They met at Lenfilm, where she worked as a props-decorator. The actor has repeatedly noted that he was very lucky with his wife. In order that the family did not need anything, he did his best. In times when salaries were very small, he even worked part-time as a private driver after his main work in the theater, and later became a businessman at all.
Some time ago, gossip began to spread about the actor’s family. The media reported that Sergei Koshonin is the father of the daughter of his colleague Anastasia Melnikova (starred in the "Streets of Broken Lights" as an investigator Abdulova). It is not known what caused the speculation, but the actor’s family endured this scandal. Probably, it happened due to the participation of actors in the play "Scandalous incident ...", where Sergei played the lover of Anastasia. In the same performance, he acted as a producer.
Why did Sergey leave the theater
One of the most beloved actors is Sergey Koshonin. Films with his participation are recognizable by the people, but recently he has begun to appear on the screens less and less. The fact is that recently he has become more and more attracted to business. He became a fairly successful producer. He did this earlier, just now he began to devote more time to promoting performances and performers.
"Go into business" he was forced to need. The actor did not want his family to need, so he first took up the promotion of the gypsy group Cabriolet, and later began promoting the performances. Producing was the only way for Sergey to stay in the theater. For a long time he was forced to abandon roles in the cinema, as the director did not let him go on the set. In the theater, they paid little and did not allow to earn on other projects. It most of all looked like a vicious circle, out of which only doing business helped.
It is interesting that all its members worked for the well-being of the family during the difficult years for the Koshonins. Son Ivan followed in the footsteps of his father and at age 13 played the first role in the movie. He voiced many American cartoons, which often earned more than his father. Perhaps it was the child’s example that prompted Sergei to decide to quit the theater. Nevertheless, as an actor, the scene did not lose him, he continues to do what he likes at the same time as producing.
