After a period of stagnation, Russian cinema continued its activity with a vengeance. Many new films were shot, a huge number of stars shone. One of them is our hero, Roman Kurtsyn. His talented game did not go unnoticed by the viewer. Therefore, many questions arise: how did he succeed, in which films did Roman Kurtsyn appear, how did his personal life turn out?
Childhood and youth
Roman Dmitrievich Kurtsyn was born in Kostroma on March 14, 1985. The parents of our hero were not connected with art. Dad worked as a policeman, and mom worked as a secretary. Since childhood, Roman dreamed of becoming an actor. He was greatly influenced by the viewing of the famous film “D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers”.
At school, Kurtsyn did not study very well. His main recollections of those years are arm wrestling and girls. Roman did not want to study. Only thanks to his mother, our hero in the 10th grade escaped exclusion from school for absenteeism. She once again reminded him that he wants to go to a theater institute after graduation, and if he studies poorly, then he can forget about his dream. This favorably affected his performance and grades.
Roman successfully combined his studies at school with arm wrestling, which led him at 17 to become the champion of Russia in this sport.
After graduating from school, Kurtsyn entered the Yaroslavl State Theater Institute, the workshop of A. Kuzin. Studying in it also did not go smoothly. They wanted to expel Roman several times, but nothing happened.
The beginning of the creative path
Roman Kurtsyn, whose filmography begins with filming in the film "The Way to Mangazeya" (on the screen she appeared under the name "Silver"), realized his long-standing dream of becoming a musketeer. It all started with the fact that at the time when our hero was still in his fourth year, he was offered a contract by the Yekaterinburg film studio. At first, it was assumed that the role of Roman would be of the second plan. However, they tested - and everything changed. He was approved for the main role. This happened a couple of hours after the tests, when the hotel in which Kurtsyn stayed was called and said that he was approved. And - for the main role. The joy of the young actor knew no bounds!
The first role in the movie, and the main one, and the lack of experience with a confident Roman did not scare.
Filming of the 12-episode film began six months later. Roman himself performed various tricks, rode on horseback, was engaged in fencing, participated in battle scenes. Everything is like in your favorite movie! His hero was a secluded guy from a noble family, Alex.
Success in the filming of this film gave even more confidence to the young actor.
Family status
Many fans ask questions about how old Roman Kurtsyn is, whether he is married, what his plans for the future are.
Roman is 29 years old. Our hero met his future wife Anna Nazarova , studying at the theater institute. At that time, each of them had a soul mate. However, feelings prevailed over reason. Roman broke up with his girlfriend, or rather, she kicked him out of the house, apparently when she found out about the new passion.
Anya invited Roman to live with her, and told her mother that he was just her classmate. However, in the morning, the couple admitted that they were not just friends, that they had mutual feelings. They later legalized their relationship.
Now Roman and Anya work together at Yarfilm, the stunt theater. However, their main joint achievement is that the couple had a son in 2012.
Young spouses live in Yaroslavl, and are not going to move to Moscow. Roman says he has a house, family and friends there. Moscow for him is the city where he goes to work. And he does not like traffic jams in the capital, they take a lot of time.
About plans for the future, Roman says he wants to become famous throughout the country.
After graduating from a theater institute
In 2006, Roman graduated from the Theater Institute. While studying there, Roman did not predict a brilliant career. Since many people think that his appearance is too ordinary, and directors will not offer him serious roles. Roman himself even began to believe in it. However, already in 2008, several films with the participation of Kurtsyn appeared on television screens.
After filming the “Bon voyage” (the role of guitarist Ivan), “Champion” (the role of lovelace and the enviable groom Denis Bekhterev), unknown to anyone Roman Kurtsyn, whose filmography at that time totaled only three films, began to gain popularity among fans. After that, he became a sought-after actor.
