In 1990, the film "Nicknamed the Beast" was released. This film does not belong to the best domestic paintings of the perestroika period. But it cannot be added to the list of films created in the genre, which is commonly called the inconsistent Russian word "chernukha" or the mysterious French "noir". What is this picture about? Who played in the movie "The Beast"? Actors and roles are presented in the article.
Movie content
The actors of the film, nicknamed the Beast, did not have to work on creating contradictory and complex images. The characters in the picture are pretty boilerplate. The plot focuses on a young man who went through the war in Afghanistan. Upon returning home, Savely Govorkov (which is the name of the main character, who later will be called "The Beast" for his indomitable temperament and fearlessness) takes a job at a businessman named Alik.
In parallel, a love line develops. A girl named Larisa appears on the horizon, with whom Savely has a romantic relationship. But their happiness is hindered by an antihero, namely Alik. As a result of the conflict with the employer, the main character is behind bars. Of course, Saveliy did not violate the law. The criminal case is completely fabricated. Larisa’s Alik’s minions are sent to a psychiatric hospital.
In prison, Savely has a hard time. In addition, he heard rumors that the tentacles of the omnipotent and treacherous Alik could overtake him here. But Savely is not easy to break. In addition, a friend nicknamed the "King" appears in prison. The royal nickname was given to him by chance. Savelia's new friend is a thief in law.
It makes no sense to retell the plot of the film "Nicknamed the Beast". Actors created images of simple heroes on the screen. By the end of this story, the main character is still at large, defeating enemies and rescuing his beloved girl from the clinic. So, who played in the action movie "Nicknamed the Beast"?

The actor who played Savely is Dmitry Pevtsov. This work, of course, did not become his debut. Before the premiere of the film, nicknamed the Beast, the actor had already played in the film adaptation of Gorky's “Mother” and in two more films. But the role of Savely Govorkov is Pevtsov’s first main role in the movie.
Tatyana Skorokhodova
The name of this actress is known to few viewers. In addition to the role of Larisa in the film, which is discussed in this article, Skorokhodova played in 14 films. One of them is called "The Mafia is immortal." After filming this film, the actress left for her hometown of Irkutsk, got married and did not act in films for more than ten years.
Boris Scherbakov
For the first time, Soviet viewers saw this actor in the film "Mandate". Shcherbakov was then only twelve. In the film “Nicknamed the Beast”, the actor played a negative character - dishonest businessman Alik. By 1990, on the account of Shcherbakov there were 69 works in the cinema. He was one of the most sought-after actors in Soviet times. But today, several films with the participation of Boris Shcherbakov are annually released. His filmography currently has over 200 paintings.
Armen Dzhigarkhanyan
The performer of the role of a thief in law played movie roles more than Shcherbakov. Moreover, almost all of his heroes were remembered by the audience. The famous Gaft epigram dedicated to Dzhigarkhanyan perfectly characterizes this actor: "There are much fewer Armenians on earth than the films where Dzhigarkhanyan played."
Evgeny Evstigneev also played in the film. The great actor, who performed the role of professor Preobrazhensky two years before the release of this picture , had to create an image of a prisoner on the screen.
