The television series "Real Boys" became the first domestic sitcom. His acting ensemble consisted of little-known performers or actors-debutants. Among them is Armen Bezhanyan, who embodied the image of a calm and judicious roommate of mother Kolyan.
An entrepreneur, and now an actor, was born in 1962 in the capital of Armenia. Since the 90s he lives in the Perm region and is engaged in business there. In addition, since 2010 he starred in a comedy series.
Entrepreneurial potential
Bezhanyan's childhood and youth passed in Yerevan. After school, he became a student at the Agricultural Institute. At the same time, he was a member of one of the KVN teams.
When the Soviet empire collapsed, he decided to move to Russia, to the Perm Territory. Since then, he began his entrepreneurial activity, engaged in the disposal and processing of secondary raw materials. Armen led the company "Vtorchermet" NLMK.
After some time, Armen Bezhanyan began working at the Permles state-owned enterprise in the city of Osa, Perm Region. This company counted the forest, guarded it, planted and cared for trees. Then he created two more similar firms.
Specific Business Features
These enterprises have made the businessman both a positive and a negative reputation. Firstly, by this time Bezhanyan was already considered a respected and well-known entrepreneur. He opened new vacancies and gave people decent wages. He also tried to win the elections to the Zemstvo assembly.
Secondly, it turned out that at a certain moment Armen appeared to be a debtor to the local budget and legal entities. In addition, environmentalists from Osa complained to the authorities that Bezhanyan’s enterprises had not cleared the forest from the remnants of wood and created a fire hazard.
Beginning of a creative career
Bezhanyan had never before participated in the filming of feature films. He had no acting experience. But in 2010, regardless of his age and despite the successful development of his profitable business, he began acting in a youth telesag called “Real Boys”. There, the entrepreneur played Armenka. This character sells shoes in the market. He is also the cohabitant of the mother of the protagonist. By the way, Armen Bezhanyan, whose filmography currently contains only one project, was approved immediately. Film critics claim that Bezhanyan coped with his role simply brilliantly. He performed, in fact, himself. Armen, as well as his hero, is considered a non-talkative, non-conflict and kind person.
In a few years, Bezhanyan will be sixty. He is older than many of his colleagues on the television series. Despite this, the actors are sure that this extraordinary artist will have many more interesting roles.
