Childhood
Salopin Nikita Vasilievich was born in 1970 in Astrakhan. He lived there until 1988, until he decided to move to the capital. His parents were professional actors. Mom, Galina Pavlovna, graduated from the Astrakhan Theater School, and his father, Vasily Porfirevich, is a successful graduate of GITIS. At first, parents worked in the local youth theater. And then the whole Salopin family moved to Tambov, which is known for its strong drama theater throughout the country.
Nikita’s childhood passed behind the theater. Father was busy in the entire repertoire, and the boy admiredly watched his play and studied the basics of the acting profession. Nikita reviewed all the performances of his dad. Already as an adult, he recalled that these were the most valuable life lessons.
Due to family troubles, mom and Nikita returned to Astrakhan. She continued to work in the Youth Theater, and the boy was seriously interested in piano and even entered a music school. It is not unusual for a child with acting genes and a great education to choose an acting career.
Theatre
After school, Salopin Nikita Vasilyevich, whose personal life will be described below, entered the school-studio of Lev Durov at the Moscow Art Theater. He graduated in 1996 and immediately got a job at the renowned Taganka Theater. In 1998, life circumstances forced him to quit and go to the equally famous Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. During his theatrical career, Nikita Vasilievich played a huge number of roles. Especially the viewer remembered his images such as Robin (“Doctor Faust”), Velimir (“Slavic frenzy”), Ignashka (“Golden apples”), Krasavin (“Children”), Myshkin (“Fools”), Stepan (“Passion” according to Torchalov "), Gilti and Schwartz (" Lulu "), Pasteur Lutz (" Meteor "), Vosmibratov and Milonov (" Forest "). He also played a number of roles in the play “Flint”.
Movie
Salopin Nikita Vasilievich made his debut in the film "The Return of Mukhtar." There he played the thief Kolya, specializing in the theft of icons from monasteries and churches. Next was the role of Sasha in the film “Taste of Murder”. The subsequent participation of Nikita Vasilyevich in detective series brought him the title of "Honored Policeman" of the country. His acting assets include such images as investigator Kostenko (“Tatyana’s Day”), captain Ustyantsev (“Crazy Angel”) and lieutenant (“Your man”). The second most popular image from Salopin’s track record is military (Stepan Boronko (Airport-2), Andrey Korolev (Charter)). The most powerful role played by Nikita Vasilyevich is Yesaul Tokarev (“Gold of Koljata”). He alone confronted a gang and became a real hero. The actor embodied a no less heroic image in the film "Scouts", where he played the military Maksutu.
Advertising
At one time, Salopin Nikita Vasilyevich actively starred in commercials. Most often, the actor was invited to the roles of dads, who, along with the children, actively ate pasta, yoghurts, etc. He considered this work forced and did it only for the money. In an interview, Nikita Vasilyevich even joked on this topic. He said that Russian advertisers are simply obligated to award him the title of “People’s Pope”.
Personal life
Since Nikita Salopin is a public person, his personal life is interesting to many. And now we will talk about it.
The first serious love happened in Moscow, where Salopin Nikita Vasilyevich moved from Astrakhan. My wife (photo above), Maria Glazkova, studied with him at the same university. It was at that time that a romance broke out among young people. Soon they got married, and Maria gave Nikita a daughter, Anastasia. But then the couple broke up. The reason for their divorce was not a quarrel, but the realization that love had passed. They still maintain a warm, friendly relationship. Salopin takes an active part in raising her daughter. Almost every day he takes her to dance and drawing classes.
Now the actor has started another family. Salopin's second wife is Lisa. She holds the position of assistant director on television, conducts auditions. She, like Nikita Vasilyevich, has a child from her first marriage. Lisa regularly attends her husband’s performances. Salopin listens to his wife's remarks and considers her his main critic. Their acquaintance took place on the set of the program “What does a woman want?” Lisa herself found Nikita in the acting file cabinet and invited him to take part. And so their romance began.
Current work
Salopin Nikita Vasilievich is currently in a creative search. The wife supports all her husband's undertakings. He really likes the role of a free artist. From time to time, he actively participates in recording audio books and teaches at the Make-up Center he founded.
