Igor Zolotovitsky, whose biography is very interesting and fascinating, was born on June 18, 1961 in Tashkent. His family was quite ordinary, his father worked on the railway, and his mother in the buffet. No one suspected that their child would become a famous actor.
Childhood and youth
I embarked on the acting path Igor Zolotovitsky while still studying in the fifth grade of high school. Then he went to the local House of Culture to enroll in a chess game club, but when he saw the announcement of recruitment to a theater club, he signed up there.
In 1978, Igor Yakovlevich graduated from high school and came to the capital to enroll in a theater higher education institution. However, the arrival was too late, the enrollment of students has already ended. The guy had to return to his homeland. For a whole year Igor Zolotovitsky was waiting for a new trip to Moscow, all this time working as a mechanic at an aircraft factory. Having accumulated money, the young man went to Moscow again.
This time was more successful for him. Zolotovitsky Igor Yakovlevich entered the Moscow Art Theater School.
Student
Years of study were a joy for the student Zolotovitsky. Later, with sadness about the days gone by, he told how it was good for him and the rest of the students to live in the old hostel, albeit without hot water, but freely, easily and simply. Theatrical skills of Igor Yakovlevich were taught by giants of acting, including Evstigneev, Gerasimov, Pilyavskaya and others.
"Cinzano"
The graduation from the studio was in 1983. Immediately after this, Zolotovitsky was accepted into the acting troupe. One of his first roles was work in the productions of the performances “Three Fat Men”, “The Master and Margarita”, Attempted Flight, and “Blonde Around the Corner”.
However, the play “Chinzano” had the greatest significance in the life of Igor Zolotovitsky. And the actor himself later said that if it were not for this performance, then perhaps no one would know the name of Zolotovitsky now. This theatrical play became a happy ticket for him , it was with her that he and his colleagues traveled not only throughout the Soviet Union, but also to Europe, the USA, and Latin America. So, in Brazil, during the full house of this production, there were queues, as in the Mausoleum.
Personal life
In the eighties, Igor Zolotovitsky, whose family now consists of four people, met Vera Kharybina, who later became his wife. After the first failed meeting, Zolotovitsky found Kharybin again, invited her to his birthday. Since then, the young actors began to meet, and two years later they got married. Shortly after the wedding, the young couple had a son, Alexey, and another nine years later, the second son, Alexander.
Currently, the wife of the famous actor is engaged in directing, but she abandoned acting. Among the films on which she worked as a director, one can note such as “Dear Masha Berezina”, “Adjutants of Love” and others. Filmed in films and the eldest son, while studying at GITIS. The younger also in the future dreams of an acting career.
Educational activities
In 1989, the actor was invited to engage in pedagogical activities, in particular, to teach acting on the course of A.N. Leontiev. Zolotovitsky agreed, and after some time he had the first graduates, among whom are now famous Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, Maxim Drozd, Dmitry Scherbina, Yegor Pazenko and others.
From 1991 to 1996, the actor was engaged in teaching in the capital of France, where he also staged the play “Marriage” together with local actors. Later, returning to his homeland, Zolotovitsky continued his training of young actors, and released another course. This time, his graduates were Denis Sukhanov, Olesya Sudzilovskaya, Yana Kolesnichenko.
Even later, in 2006, Zolotovitsky prepared other great actors such as Nikita Panfilov, Maxim Matveev, Anton Shagin, Ekaterina Vilkova, Julia Galkina.
For Igor Zolotovitsky pedagogical activity is a kind of symbiosis. On the one hand, he teaches, gives knowledge, shares experience with the young generation, on the other hand, he is, as it were, nourished by their vivacity, energy. It is because of communication with young people, according to the actor, he becomes cheerful and reckless.
Cinema

You can say more, he is a very sought-after film actor. His roles and characters are distinguished by a lively game, sharp charisma, and bright talent. “Films with Zolotovitsky’s participation leave a trace in the memory for a long time,” - so other actors said about him.
Among the best and most notable roles of Igor Yakovlevich Zolotovitsky are the following works: Victor Chagin (“The Fifth Corner” series), Evgeny Koralov (“Lily of the Valley Silver Series”), Orlov (“Lyuba, Children and Plant”) and many, many others.
Very often, Zolotovitsky is offered to play the role of gypsies, such a tendency arose because of the actor’s appearance.
About himself Zolotovitsky Igor Yakovlevich tells extremely modestly. So, he speaks of his career in cinema as follows: “In cinema, I did not achieve the success I would have desired. If in the theater I can be proud of any particular role, then this is not the case in cinema. I played a lot of good roles in the movie, but the main one for which I worked all this time is not among them. Perhaps, of course, and I hope that she is yet to come. ” At the same time, the actor notes that he does not feel any shame for any of his roles either in the theater or in the cinema.
