For his creative work, this Soviet actor starred in a small number of films, but played a lot in the theater. What is famous for Igor Gordin? The biography, the personal life of the artist will be the topic of our study.
Double holiday
Igor was born on May 6, 1965. His birth is associated with another holiday, which has a larger scale, - two days later the 20th anniversary of the end of World War II was celebrated, therefore for parents of the future star of the screen this event was marked by double joy. By the way, they, parents, had nothing to do with the acting profession. And they did not imagine that one day their son would declare his desire to act in films.
I want to act in film!
A passion for acting was manifested in school years. Igor Gordin, whose biography includes many interesting facts, felt a desire for reincarnation, but, remaining a modest teenager, was afraid to admit it. His youthful years fell on the rise of the country, which required specialists in various fields. But he did not want to become either an engineer or a scientist. With each new school play in which he participated, Igor Gordin thought only that someday he would go on the real stage of the theater.
Conqueror of directorial hearts
In the eighth grade, he secretly from his parents enrolled in youth theater courses, a relatively new educational institution that has been operating in the city for 15 years. Here he gained knowledge about the future profession and clearly saw how the backstage is arranged. However, the debut on the stage takes place in the theater of a young spectator, where in 1989 the director Henrietta Yanovskaya staged the play âGoodbye, Americaâ. At the same time, Igor Gordin is approved for several key roles. The biography of the aspiring actor includes the fact of their further cooperation with Yanovskaya. Gordin impressed the experienced director with his charisma and rapid transformation into the required images. Four years later, she gives him a secondary role in Chekhovâs play âIvanov and Othersâ.
Brave road
But no matter how much Gordin wanted to realize his dream of becoming an actor, parents demanded a decent education. In order not to spoil the relationship, Igor Gordin (photo attached) enters the Polytechnic Institute. The specialty of a nuclear physicist does not seem interesting to him, but he stoically withstands all the years of study. During this period, he plays little in the theater. And when study is left behind, Igor gains courage and decides to finally decide on his profession. Leaving his beloved Petersburg, he moves to Moscow.
GITIS opens the doors for him, and Irina Sudakova takes Gordin on his course. Acquaintance with her will positively affect her future career. From the Soviet actress, he will gain enormous experience. Since 1982, she is a professor in the department of directing, and among her graduates are Dmitry Pevtsov, Nikolai Dobrynin, Boris Morozov. Igor Gordin graduates from GITIS and enters the troupe of the Moscow Sovremennik.
Actor career
With the acquisition of professional education, new offers come. On theater posters, Igor Gordin appears more and more often. The biography, the personal life of the actor will be a separate topic of further discussion, but for now, you should talk about his transition to the theater of a young audience. Igor Gennadievich remains faithful to him to this day.
Over the next four years, he actively plays in various performances. Especially popular is the âExecution of the Decembristsâ, âFoam of the Daysâ, âRomanceâ and âThunderstormâ by Ostrovsky, where he gets the role of Tikhon. Until the end of the century, the theater season includes the play âThe Witness of Prosecutionâ, adapted from the work of the same name by Agatha Christie, and Chekhovâs âLady with a Dogâ. In the last production, Gordin plays Dmitry Gurov.
TV dash
Gordinâs career is characterized by many years of playing in the theater. But there are proposals to act in films, and Igor accepts them. The debut on the big screen took place in the criminal film of 2002 âTrioâ. This was followed by the series âHeavenly Lifeâ, âChildren of the Arbatâ and âThe Death of the Empireâ.
The popularity and frequent flickering on television bring a new round of fame. And Igor Gordin is happy to use this. The biography, the personal life of the actor become the object of increased attention of admirers of his talent. Every year new films are released with his participation, but for the most part Igor gets secondary roles. He tries himself in different genres, plays in military, detective films and dramatic series. In 2004, Gordin received the title of Honored Artist.

Igor Gordin: biography, personal life
Where does an actor appear more often - in a movie or in a theater? He himself is not ready to give an exact answer, since he is trying to diversify his creative potential as much as possible. A number of metropolitan theaters, including the Fomenko workshop and the Theater of Nations, invite him to performances. At the same time, he remains faithful to the theater of the young audience, because it was with him that actor Igor Gordin began his career.
The personal life of the actor is also associated with him. It was here that he met with Julia Menshova, who came to his play with friends. She went to Gordin's dressing room to meet her personally. The daughter of Vladimir Menshov and Vera Alentova argued that she really liked Igorâs game.
Acquaintance quickly grew into a stormy romance. In 1997, the couple was born the first-born son Andrei. Igor and Julia got married, and then divorced. But after some time they realized that the feelings had not died out, and again married. In 2003, the daughter of Taisiya was born.
