Fans of his talent often have the feeling that Sergey Byzgu is playing a double game on stage: he not only naturally gets used to the image, but also makes it so that the hero creates his own Melpomene temple.

What was his career, and how did he come to fame and recognition?
Conquest of the Northern Capital
Sergei Dmitrievich Byzgu - a native of the Moldavian SSR. He was born on December 4, 1966. Most of the life of a provincial actor is connected with the city on the Neva. It was there that he decided to act, dreaming of becoming a famous lyceum. And the young man successfully passed exams at a theater university, namely at LGITMiK, having got on the course of People's Artist of the USSR Igor Gorbachev.
Already in his student years, Sergey Byzgu first appeared on the theatrical stage, trying on the main role - Mitrofanushki in the famous comedy Fonvizin.
The beginning of work in the theater
In the early 90s, the actor receives a diploma from the end of LGITMiK and gets a job in the St. Petersburg theater "Farsy". Soon he will be involved in such productions as âFantasy, or Six Characters Awaiting the Windâ, âHamletâ, âPovaretsky Dancesâ, âFarsi, or New Medieval Jokesâ.
At the beginning of the 2000s, director Viktor Kramer presented to the theater public the play "Stepanchikovo Village and its inhabitants" in which Sergey Byzgu (actor) was approved for one of the main roles (Thomas Opiskin). He brilliantly coped with the task: his hero constantly arranged squabbles, quarrels, sorted out relations with everyone, and then reconciled everyone. The premiere was a triumph.
The talent of the graduate of LGITMiK was also manifested in another production - âSuperfluâ, which was directed based on the Gogol's âMarriageâ. Sergey Byzgu, whose photo was already decorated with theatrical posters of St. Petersburg, masterfully reincarnated as Kochkarev.
Peak of creativity
In the middle of the zero, the actor goes to serve in the theater named after V.F.Komissarzhevskaya. On the stage of this temple of Melpomene, he will reveal to the maximum extent the facets of his talent. Tickets for performances featuring Byzgu, namely: âA Midsummer Night's Dreamâ (Peter Pen), âSoap Angelsâ (Octavio), âLonely Westâ (Valen), âSmall Tatarâ (Kolyai Kolyaevich) will be sold as hot cakes .
Work in other theaters

Sergei Dmitrievich also performed at the Bolshoi Puppet Theater, participating in the productions of âI Miss Youâ and âToybile and Her Demonâ. His acting talent was marked by many prestigious theater awards, but the main thing for Byzgu is the audience recognition of his professionalism. The lyceum brilliantly succeeds in comedic images. Here is what the printed publication âTheater Magazineâ once wrote about the actor: âHe is a man of incredible kindness. If he is not happy, then it seems that the whole world is sad. If he smiles radiantly, then the sun answers him the same. When he is offended, I want to reassure him. â
Work in film and television
