Anton Shagin was born in one of the cities of the Bryansk region on April 2 in 1984. After graduating from the ninth grade, he and his grandmother made a difficult decision about the need to enter vocational school. It should be noted right away that he had no parents at this time. He studied in his city Karachev as a locksmith. Naturally, he took part in amateur performances. After the school was over, he decided to leave for Moscow to enter the Moscow Art Theater. He did it the first time. He graduated from Anton Shagin Studio School in 2006.
First Theater Award
During his training, he took part in the play "Do not part with your loved ones." There he was given the role of Mitya. For an excellent game, Anton was awarded the Golden Leaf Award. In addition to this performance, he took part in such productions as The Shores of Utopia and Valentine's Day.
Actor's debut in the film industry
The first film in which Anton Shagin made his debut was "Hipsters." Despite the fact that at first glance the film seemed easy and fun, in fact, shooting in it was quite difficult and difficult. The filming process dragged on for almost two years. The output of films on television screens was constantly delayed.
There was even a fairly high probability that an interesting composition would be lost. But Valery Todorovsky, who acted as a director, with particular care selected each individual actor. Over time, Todorovsky repeatedly recalled that there was a feeling that a little more and the crew would be involved in the shooting of other films. And to say that we have to wait and refuse other offers is not too beautiful.
Shooting a new movie
And so that the actors did not run away, Anton Shagin and other stars were involved in the filming of the movie "Vise" under the guidance of the same Valery Todorovsky. As a result of the efforts, a dynamic motion picture with numerous chases and shooting turned out. The essence of this film was that friends wanted to get easy money. To do this, they robbed a small dealer and took several batches of ecstasy from him. As a result, three friends fell into the hands of the mafia, who ordered them to work out the debt. Anton Shagin, whose filmography was replenished with the first movie, played one of the main roles.
In addition to Anton, Maxim Matveev, Ekaterina Vilkova, Evgenia Khirivskaya and many other actors of the film “Styles”, whose original name was “Boogie on the Bones”, took part in the filming.
The desire to make the movie "Hipsters" was very high
Todorovsky has repeatedly said that he wanted to make such a picture. He learned about the dude during his training at VGIK. After that, he began to show interest and ask people what dudes are. Then he decided that this story would become a good enough topic for the filming of the musical.
The script of the film was written by Yuri Korotkov, who was a friend of Valery. However, there was no money for the shooting, so the shooting had to be postponed for an unknown period. As a result, the musical remained for a long time in the director’s dreams. However, there was no time for reflection. He shot a large number of paintings. But he didn’t forget about the dude. It was very important for him to make this particular film.
The meaning of the motion picture was conveyed completely and accurately
As a result, the movie of the director nevertheless appeared on television screens, in which the hero of this review Anton Shagin also took part. Photos from the shootings attracted quite a lot of attention, as, in fact, the film itself. We can say that the musical looked in one breath.
It should be noted that the genre was not chosen by chance at all. Having avoided everything connected with the “Chernukha”, the director accurately conveyed the spirit of the dude, which was characteristic of the end of the 1950s. It should be noted that the film tells more about free people who protested against everything that is connected with gray routine and tight frames.
The main role of a popular actor brought him popularity.
Anton Shagin in this movie got the role of Mels. This is a kind of reduction from Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin. At the very beginning of the picture, it is said that the hero of Anton is a pronounced Komsomol member, whose main goal is to round up the dude. However, in connection with love, he gradually switched to the opposite side. And only at the moment when Mels became a dude, he began to look at the world in a completely different way.
The day after the movie "Hipsters" appeared on television, simply huge popularity fell on Anton. However, among theatrical works there are those that can attract the attention of a large audience. For example, “Red and Black”, as well as “Shores of Utopia”.
Filming in new films
The year 2011 was marked for Anton by the start of filming in the comedy film "A Kiss Through the Wall." There he played with such stars as Ivan Okhlobystin, Pavel Volya, Karina Andolenko, etc. Anton got the role of Innocent, who sought the heart of his girlfriend in every possible way. However, he realized that holding a girl in was much harder than just turning her attention to herself.
In the same year, the actor took part in the filming of the film "Saturday", in which he played the role of one of the eyewitnesses of the Chernobyl accident. He was also nominated for the Crystal Turandot Award, which is considered the most prestigious among theater workers.
The life of an actor outside the filming process
Anton Shagin tries not to talk about his personal life. His wife, as it became known not so long ago, graduated from a school-studio with him. However, the acting career decided not to continue and moved away from her profession. In addition, Veronica is not at all embarrassed by the fact that she is in the shadow of her husband.
Veronika Isaeva, the wife of Anton Shagin, believes that the success of her beloved man is also her success. And the main thing for a woman, in her opinion, is the possibility of providing a reliable rear. What she is trying to do with pleasure and care.
A novel for an acting couple arose as a student. The wedding was played immediately after the school-studio was over. The girl was almost immediately able to win the heart of Anton. In this she helped spiritual beauty and openness. It should also be noted that the course at which Anton studied was stellar. Ekaterina Vilkova, Miroslav Karpovich, Maxim Matveev, Anna Begunova and Peter Kislov studied with him . Anton Shagin and Veronika Isaeva today have two children - a son and a daughter.
To be continued…
Regardless of the fact that the actor himself considers himself a theatrical figure, his filmography contains an extensive list of roles that he played in films. And besides the musical "Hipsters", there are eight more projects. Among the most successful films with his participation in the title role is “To the Touch”.
It should also be noted that the actor does not refuse to shoot in television series. Regardless of his sufficiently large employment, he considers absolutely all proposals that may at least somehow interest him. And more than once he declared that a large number of creative works and interesting roles awaited him. And the success of Anton will depend only on him. Therefore, you should wait for new films in the filming of which a talented actor will take part.
