Alexander Mosin is a domestic artist who has repeatedly appeared in the paintings of the famous film director Balabanov. Alexander had not thought about a movie star career before. Initially, he was a military man and served for the good of his homeland in the Airborne Forces. In addition, Mosin is not only a hero from the movies, but also a real hero who has passed Afghanistan. The man witnessed numerous deaths and disasters, but terrible passages from life did not imprint on him negatively. He managed to return to the life of a simple person and even pursue an acting career.
Biography
Alexander Mosin was born in the autumn of 1969 in Leningrad, where he still lives (now the city is called St. Petersburg). The daughter of the artist was already 22 years old, and she is studying in her hometown. In addition to his daughter, Alexander also has a son, who is currently traveling with his father to various festivals.
During his life, the actor managed to visit Afghanistan and Tajikistan. And in 2005 he met the director Balabanov. Acquaintance occurred at one of the festivals dedicated to veterans of the Air Force. According to the actor himself, strangers approached him and offered to play one of the roles in the film “It Doesn't Hurt Me” (dir. Balabanov). In addition, the former military was asked to come to the set with all the awards and in uniform.
It turns out that the famous director liked to take inexperienced people who are just starting their career in their films. After the first successful shootings, Alexander Mosin continued to act in films by Alexei Oktyabrinovich, but no one could have thought that their cooperation would last for many years.
Actor's career
In 2007, the director was visited by the idea to shoot the famous and sensational movie “Cargo 200”. The picture is a provocative drama that not every viewer can understand, but thanks to the film, a person thinks about life.
Naturally, Alexander Mosin was the first contender for a role in the film. He appeared before the viewers in the image of an accomplice of captain Zhurov.
In the film, this character appears at the moment when the captain took out a dead soldier from the zinc coffin, and then in the frame related to the beating of a homeless person. By the way, the image of the homeless man who was beaten was Alexander Bashirov.
After the release of this provocative and difficult picture, actor Alexander Mosin received real fame. The reaction of viewers to the film was the most rapid in the last decade.
Filming
The next picture, in which Alexander played a role, was Morphine. The actor appeared before the viewers in the image of Vlas. The screenwriter of the film was the legendary Sergey Bodrov.
The project was created according to several books called “Notes of a young doctor” and “Morphine”, the creator of which is Bulgakov. Balabanov was very pleased with the previous works of Alexander Mosin and offered him a role in the dramatic film "The Stoker". As a result, well-known film critics singled out this work by Balabanov.
The last film with the actor
The last film with the actor appeared on the screens in 2012. In it, Alexander appeared in the guise of a criminal. The film is called "I also want to." It was created in a realistic genre, diluted with science fiction. The director of the picture was also Balabanov, who, unfortunately, died six months after the release of the film.
It is most striking that only inexperienced actors took part in the film. An amazing fact is that Alexander Mosin does not have a special theatrical education, but he is fully laid out during the transformation into an image. For the actor himself, the set is a kind of teleport to another world, where he can be anyone.
