Yuri Tsurilo is one of the best Russian actors of our time. He stands out among all, and differs from all at least in that, with such demand and recognition, he has no rewards.
And you won’t see him in any television broadcast: he doesn’t cook anything, doesn’t compete with anyone or anything, but he could probably remember at least the handstand on the rings at the beginning of the film “Khrustalev, the car!”.
Fateful movie
There is such a cliche - “burst into the cinema”, but you can’t tell about Yury Alekseevich. He became popular after the great film by A. Herman Sr. “Khrustalev, the car!”. Yuri Tsurilo brilliantly played Yuri Klensky, general of the medical service. The picture was about the "case of doctors" and the death of Salin. The film is very heavy. It was shown in Cannes, although this year the festival was closed by the movie Godzilla. But the people who watched this picture made a standing ovation after it ended, Yu. Tsurilo was recognized on the streets, showed a thumb and shouted “bravo”. In France, the film lasted 4 months, and Godzilla - 12 days.
Wonderful tandem
Maybe fame fell on the "actor by the grace of God" and a little late, but it fell, and this is fair and wonderful. In many articles, the creative tandem prevailing during the filming is noted - Alexei German and Yuri Tsurilo. Indeed, such wonderful roles as Y. Klensky (at the beginning of the film is a general and, at the end, a paid train commandant) and Baron Pampa from the film “It Is Hard to Be a God,” the actor owes a brilliant director.
But all the other roles that fell like
a cornucopia were played by Yu. Tsurilo beyond praise - he has no bad roles. What is the role of Kukotsky in the famous series of
Yuri Grymov or the role of the centurion in the film "Wii".
Aleksey German takes some films for a long time - he started shooting a film about doctors in 1991, a film was released in 1998. Later, Yuri Tsurilo called these 7 years years of happiness. By nature, a man absolutely unconflicted, quick-witted and laconic, a workaholic in love with his work, he always got along with Herman, about whom many spoke of the difficult character.
Difficult childhood and working youth
Outwardly, Yuri Tsurilo is simply handsome, and he is handsome with real masculine beauty. The famous actor was born in a mixed family: his father is an ethnic gypsy, his mother is Russian. It happened on December 10, 1946. Later, the father was imprisoned, the mother took up the device of her personal life, and the boy was brought up by a grandmother, whom he called mother. Of course, they did not live well, and Yuri Alekseevich went to work early, and he was engaged in heavy physical labor. But, while studying at school, the young man was actively engaged in a drama circle, and so successfully that the satire Theater actor Evgeni Kuznetsov, who had come to this small town of Vyazenki in the Vladimir Region, very advised the boy to go to a theater university after school and made a recommendation. Having left his native deeply provincial town at the age of 18, Yu. A. Tsurilo never returned to it.
The first theatrical and film works
For a variety of reasons, the young man did not have a relationship with the capital's theater schools, as a result, the actor graduated from the Yaroslavl Theater School and got a referral to the Novgorod Drama Theater, in which he played more than 80 roles.
The first theatrical work was the play “Glass Menagerie”, and the first work in the movie was the role of the handsome Marco in the film “Royal Regatta”, in which Yuri Tsurilo starred before the entrance exams to the
Shchukin School , the filmography of which thus began in 1966 .
Mythic picture
Due to the vagrancy laid down in the genes, or in search of work for everyone, Yuri Alekseevich changed several theaters located in different parts of vast Russia - Norilsk, Gorky, Novosibirsk. Now he serves in the Alexandrinsky Theater, lives in St. Petersburg, in the city center, in a small apartment, bought for a fee from the fateful film “Khrustalev, the car!”. They say that the phrase in the name of the picture is the first words spoken after the death of Stalin, and they belonged to Beria.
Lovely family man
Yuri Tsurilo, whose personal life is incredibly stable, is monogamous, which is characterized by the only marriage that happened quite early, at the age of 18. This again and again confirms the integrity of nature, a real masculine character.
His wife followed him like a military friend after a military man, through the cities and villages of Russia. In this happy marriage two sons were born. The elder in life embodied the fate of many movie heroes of his father - he became a military man. I'd like to repeat in the full sense, since Yuri Tsurilo played only the highest ranks - he has such a general appearance. The youngest son Vsevolod Tsurilo, very similar to his father, entered the theater university and starred in several films.
Any role on the shoulder
That is he, Yuri Tsurilo. Films with the participation of the actor are not always perfect, but his game is so beautiful that the flaws of the paintings fade into the background. For example, according to some reviews, his role in the series “Heavy Sand” is almost the best in the actor’s cinematic career, and the film itself did not deserve high marks. Yuri Tsurilo, an ethnic gypsy, amazingly played in the "Heavy Sand" an elderly Jew, a shoemaker, and an elder in the synagogue. And being a resident of the Northern capital, how could he, the owner of such an impressive appearance, not be involved in the famous cult St. Petersburg TV shows “Gangster Petersburg” and “Deadly Force”? Now this wonderful actor starred in several films a year.
