The childhood of the future actor
Nikita Zverev was born in a creative family in July 1973. His father was the head of the traveling circus groups throughout the USSR, and his mother was a graduate of the Institute of Culture, but devoted her life to family and children. In addition to Nikita, Zverev had three more children - the daughter of Kristina and the sons of Anton and Alexei (now everyone has become businessmen).
Nikita grew up as a mobile boy, his indefatigable energy needed to be used, so my mother took her son to a theater club. Often a son and brothers practiced their acting skills at home, arranging performances for family members.
Education
After graduation, Nikita Zverev for a long time could not decide what to devote his life to. He tried himself as a clown and an air gymnast in a circus, but numerous injuries (problems with the spine, concussion, ruptured tendons) forever discouraged him from hunting for gymnastics. Then Nikita worked at a construction site, a bouncer in a restaurant, and even tried to organize his own business in the computer industry. But still the guy felt that it was all wrong and he had a different path. Remembering the school years and classes in the theater club, Nikita decided to become an actor.
After studying for just a month at the school named after Shchepkin M.S., Zverev dropped out of school. He explained his act very simply - he was not interested there. As the actor recalls, the decision came to him during one of the first classes, when the teacher made the students line up and shout âGood afternoon!â In the army several times. The future actor decided to continue his studies at GITIS in the workshop of Pyotr Naumovich Fomenko. GITIS became a real âalma mater" for Nikita, where he got a good base for his future profession and still remembers his teacher with great respect. In 2001, Zverev received a diploma of higher education.
Carier start

It so happened that the master was present at the graduation performance of Zverev and, noting the talent of the young guy, decided to invite him to his "Snuffbox". Nikita worked there for more than four years, playing in performances such as âFrom Thursday to Thursdayâ, âLong Christmas Lunchâ, âIdeal Husbandâ, âAt the Bottomâ, âSynchronâ, âArcadiaâ and many others.

Zverev considers his first mentor Oleg Tabakov to be the main motivating person in his life.

Nikita does not like to stand out, wears the usual inexpensive comfortable clothes, does not like anything that restricts movement and squeezes the throat, especially ties, scarves and turtlenecks.
