Let's find out the artist’s life path.
Actor Biography
Andrei Fedortsov was born in the city of Leningrad on August 13, 1968. A rather remarkable story happened with the boy's father: during the war years, one German warned his family about a punitive operation and helped to escape from the village, thereby saving everyone from death. After that, Andrei's father, named Oleg, changed his name to Albert. Neither he (engineer), nor the actor’s mother (therapist) belonged to people of creative professions, and in childhood Andrei did not think about acting. He graduated from a regular school, entered the Leningrad Naval College, from which he graduated in 1986. He got a job in the Office of the North-Western River Shipping Company, served as a motor-sailor on ships overseas, and then he steered on the ship steering. It is worth noting that at the school, Andrei Fedortsov, whose biography was just beginning its wide spread, had no special aspirations, he studied mediocre and tightly. But already at the school he set himself the goal of seeing different countries, he began to learn English and quickly succeeded in this. Moreover, he received five in all subjects.
Military service
The future actor Fedortsov did not try to evade the army, he finished his service with the rank of senior sergeant, commander of a mine-demolition platoon. There, he once had to replace one soldier during a performance in amateur performances: the audience laughed for a very long time, and Andrei was flattered. Then the seed of his creative talent was already laid. After returning to civilian life, Fedortsov managed to work at the Leningrad Rock Club as an advertising administrator, a building maintenance worker, and in the Maly Drama Theater as a stage engineer.
Beginning of a creative career
No one expected that he would quickly decide to change his profession - in 1989, the future artist graduated from courses on the use of advanced Italian methods at the Farmer's School, but could not work in this industry for a long time. The next place of work is the poetry magazine "Attic" (position of publisher). Then he decided to try his hand at the theater and got an actor in the studio "Trace", and then in the "Crossroads".

Akimova, where he participated in children's productions of "Urfin Juice and His Wooden Soldiers", "Alchemist", "Little Humpbacked Horse", "The Wizard of the Emerald City". At that time, his roles in the cinema were periodic, and Fedortsov again tried his hand in a new industry - he opened a company selling pet products.

So the face of a novice actor, playing the role of a hostage in the film "Brother", brought him an audience prize (1997, "Best episodic male role"). Then Fedortsov looked at Lenfilm for a long time, wondering if there were any roles for him until one day he was urgently summoned to meet with the directors (Butulin and Tatarsky) who were recruiting the cast for the new "Cop" series. The employers ran up, out of breath and flushed, and the employers liked him, and he was immediately approved for the role of the hectic, but good-natured Vasya Rogov.
