On January 1, 1999, TNT television station for the first time showed the detective series Agent of National Security. Actors Mikhail Porechenkov and Andrey Krasko played in the film the main characters: FSB officers Lyokha Nikolaev and Andryukha Krasnova, who are investigating especially important cases in a pair. Which of the famous artists can still be seen in the frame? And how did the cast change during the filming of the series?
The plot of the film
In the multi-part film "Agent of National Security", the actors talk about the service in the FSB of a young and talented operative Alexei Nikolaev.
Lyokha is a risky guy both in the service and in his personal life. At work, Nikolaev gives everything 100%: each of his tasks ends with success, regardless of whether you need to infiltrate a gang or track down a dangerous hired killer. After hard working days, the main character is not averse to relaxing in the company of some charming lady, and from series to series girlfriends change with enviable frequency.
Nikolaev fulfills each special task with his partner Andryukha Krasnov, who occupies the position of a driven person in their team. The difference in the characters of Alexei and Andrei often becomes a reason for jokes and a heap of comic situations. The main actors of the "National Security Agent", or rather, their characters, each episode face new crimes and get into various troubles.
The screenplay for the first three seasons of the film was written by Igor Ageev (“Bitch War”) and Vladimir Vardunas (“What the Dead Man Said”). Starting from the 4th season, the script group increased to 5 people.
Until 2001, only the TNT channel had the right to broadcast a multi-part picture. Since 2000, the series began to be shown on NTV.
"National Security Agent": actors and roles
Throughout all seasons, only 3 performers remained unchanged: Mikhail Porechenkov, Andrei Krasko and Andrei Tolubeev. In the film "Agent of National Security" the actors played colleagues in the FSB.
For Porechenkov, the role of Aleksey Nikolaev became, in a sense, fateful, since it was after participating in the series “National Security Agent” that the artist’s career went uphill: he starred in the films “9 Company”, “The Death of an Empire”, “Great Love” and "Liquidation."
Filming in the "National Security Agent", whose actors and roles over the 6 years of the project’s existence fell in love with the Russian audience, did not pass without a trace for Andrei Krasko. Performing the role of partner and friend Lyokha Nikolaev, Krasko gained popularity and recognition. Subsequently, the artist starred in such films as “Saboteur”, “Turkish Gambit”, “Yesenin”, “Death of the Empire” and “Bastards”.
Andrei Tolubeev appeared before the audience in the image of the FSB colonel Ivan Tarasov - the direct chief of Krasnov and Nikolaev. The artist can also be seen in the crime film “Captain's Children”, in the series “Gangster Petersburg” and “Yesenin”.
"National Security Agent-2": actors, changes in the executive staff
In any long-playing series, the cast changes sooner or later. The performing team also slightly changed in the film "National Security Agent-2".
Actors Anna Geler, who played the girlfriend of Nikolaev, and Sergey Gorobchenko, who played the hacker, disappeared from the arena of screen action. But Andrei Zibrov appeared in the frame : he joined the main cast, having received the role of FSB lieutenant Gennady Nikolaev.
In one of the episodes, Konstantin Khabensky was spotlighted, who was entrusted with the role of drug addict and assassin Rashid.
In the 6th and 7th series, the image of the fatal beauty Alisa was embodied on the screens by the St. Petersburg actress Alla Dovlatova (“Three in Komi”). Igor Lifanov (“Five Minutes of Silence”) played in the 2nd season of the series of criminal Sashka.
The cast of 3, 4 and 5 seasons
In the multi-part film "Agent of National Security-3", actors Igor Lepikhin ("Such a job") and Anatoly Gorin ("Bounty Hunter") played the victims of a criminal group that forced homeless men to work for free in mines and heavy work.
