In 2008, the young actor became the winner of Golden Anne. His sensational role as a serf Andreika in the Chronicles of the Time of Troubles was recognized as the best male role at the International Festival held in Cheboksary.
How it all began
Peter was born on 02.06.1982 in Glazov, in the north of Udmurtia. Immediately after school, the young man leaves his hometown and goes to Nizhny Novgorod. His dream - to become a student at a theater school - came true. On the course of V.F. Bogomazov, according to Kislov himself, he received most of what he knows and knows in the profession.
Like most students, Peter worked part-time in his spare time. In the first courses, he was not shameful to get into the suit of a bottle and walk around the city advertising mayonnaise. Later, with classmates, he began performing in bars and restaurants with a parody of the circus. This time, the actor recalls with special warmth, because at 17, everything was just beginning.
Studying at the Moscow Art Theater
At the end of the school, 21-year-old Petr Kislov did not cool at all for the profession of an actor. On the contrary, he continued his mastery studies at the Moscow Art Theater School, where he managed to attract the attention of specialists. Reviewers singled out his work as the most expressive, updating theatrical language, evoking the sympathy and love of the audience.
Theater work
In 2006, the administration of the Art Theater. Chekhov begins recruitment into a new group, where Pyotr Kislov was invited after graduating from school. He receives roles in productions of Amadeus, Pyshka, Ondine and others. At the same time, the actor is busy in the performances of the theater studio of O. Tabakov “Descendant” and “Crazy”.
After 2 years, Peter left the Moscow Art Theater, explaining his departure by the fact that he could not obey any structure, even receiving a decent salary. In 2009, he plays in the entreprise "Territory of Love." Elena Yakovleva becomes his partner in this performance.
A large number of roles in good productions enables the actor to refuse offers that are not interesting to him. It also happened that he refused the role, visiting one rehearsal.
First filming
Pyotr Kislov, whose filmography began in 2005 when the television movie “Crazy” was released, debuted as a student of the sports faculty, obsessed with jealousy. A year later, he starred in the image of Victor in the series "Recipe Happiness" directed by D. Brusnikin.
Real success came to the young actor after the release of the film “1612: Chronicles of the Time of Troubles”, shot by V. Khotinenko, in which Kislov played a major role. The film is full of battle scenes, fights, fights, intrigues. Naturally, not without love. To participate in the filming, Kislov needed to take lessons in the art of fencing and horseback riding. However, the young man coped with these difficulties "excellently."
In addition, he had to slightly change his appearance, growing hair. Peter enthusiastically recalls the joy that the work on the set brought to him in a team with real professionals. The director allowed to improvise, to give free rein to imagination, which allowed the young actor to open up and gain valuable experience.
Popularity growth
Actor Peter Kislov became recognizable and beloved by a large army of fans after filming in several series. The roles of hacker Igor Tropinin in Network (2007), Nikolai Lazarev in Native People (2008), and senior pioneer leader Gena Trofimov in Blue Nights (2008) brought him fame. An extensive range of characters (from a werewolf to an investigator) undoubtedly increased the actor’s popularity with the Russian audience.
Young fans were able to appreciate Peter's work when the series “Closed School” (2011) was released, in which Kislov got two roles at once: the twin brothers Vadim and Anton Uvarov. From fans just did not end. It seems that Peter himself did not expect such pressure from schoolgirls attacking him on social networks.
Self-criticism
Kislov is a rather self-critical actor. He is forced to admit that in some series he is removed only because he needs to support his family, without getting any particular pleasure from his work. At the same time, he notes that he began to work much more professionally, realizing the goals, objectives and degree of responsibility to his viewers. Peter frankly admits that there was a time when he relaxed and did not put much effort into this or that role, mistakenly believing that everything had already gone wrong. But now the actor is doing his best on the set.
Peter Kislov: filmography, roles
With confident steps, the actor goes to his fame. Peter Kislov, whose filmography already includes several dozen excellent films, is annually removed in several projects at once. So, starting in 2005 with the picture “Crazy”, in 2006 he already starred in the series “Prescription Happiness”. Films with Peter Kislov amaze with a variety of roles and masterful transformation of the actor. In 2007, the young man was involved in the new series "Network" and the acclaimed "Chronicles ...". The series “Native People” and “Blue Nights” were released on television in 2008, at the same time viewers saw Kislov in the films “The Lodger” and “Lyubov.RU”.
The year 2009 was no less fruitful for the actor: he simultaneously starred in the series “Mistress of the Taiga” and in three films (“Neud for Love”, “I am waiting for you ...” (or “Wolves”) and “Pop”). He does not slow down next year either (“Daughters-mothers”, “My husband’s best friend”, “Mysterious fate of tomorrow”, “Someone is here”). “Sect” and “My Dear Daughter” were released in 2011, and two series: “Your World” and “Closed School” - in 2012.
Attitude to music
Pyotr Kislov began to get involved in vocals during his studies in Nizhny Novgorod. He, together with friends, even created a group. True, it existed for a relatively short time and soon disintegrated.
Now Peter is engaged in music only in his spare time from his main work. Sometimes he writes songs, but only for himself. His hobby is to shut off from all outsiders, connect a guitar, a “combo” and play.
Family life experience
In 2007, on the set of one of the series, Pyotr Kislov, whose personal life is replete with the presence of a variety of beautiful representatives, met the charming Anastasia Makeeva. Soon the young people got married. But their marriage could not be called happy and harmonious. Peter recalls him extremely reluctantly. After analyzing his relationship with Nastya, Kislov came to the conclusion that he needed a completely different woman and completely different relationships. After living for six months, the couple broke up, they could not get along. Divorce was incredibly scandalous. Anastasia accused the ex-spouse of drunkenness, rowdy and marital infidelity, thereby demonstrating her eccentric and unbalanced character. After the first unsuccessful experience of family life, Peter became much more discriminating in women.
However, he did not stay single for long. As an assistant teacher, a young man drew attention to a charming young student. She turned out to be actress and singer Polina Gagarina. A general passion for music brought them closer, and young people began to meet. Soon, Pauline found herself in position. Peter, like a real gentleman, made her an offer of marriage, and a few months later, in August 2007, they played a wedding. In less than two months, Andryusha appeared in young parents. Unfortunately, this time the family could not be saved. The marriage lasted only three years. True, this time the divorce was peaceful, without mutual reproaches and scandals. Perhaps, thanks to this, Pyotr Kislov and Polina Gagarina still have maintained warm friendly relations. Gagarina does not try to interfere with her ex-husband’s meetings with her son, realizing that otherwise she would harm her child. In turn, Kislov speaks of Pauline as an excellent mother and a beautiful woman.
Naturally, such an interesting young man had other novels. In his youth, he was in love with Ekaterina Vilkova, whom he met at the theater school and looked after her for quite some time. They even came to the capital together, and both entered the Moscow Art Theater School. True, now the actor considers these relations not so serious and rarely remembers them. Now Peter Kislov enjoys a bachelor life and does not worry about this at all.
