The biography of Yevgeny Kulakov begins in Moscow, where he was born on August 17, 1980.
Wonderful luck
Evgeni Kulakov did not think about entering the theater school. And he himself did not go to the theater very often, if only with his class. After passing the final exams at school, the future actor automatically enters a technical university, but he categorically does not like it. Eugene, having visited several classes, understands that this is not his destiny in this life. Soon he caught the eye of the brochure "For applicants to universities", where Yevgeny Kulakov sees an ad for admission to the Shchukin school. He arrives there the first time, which can be called pure luck. Eugene studies on the course of A. Shirvindt. In 2001, studies at the school ended. In the same year, he began working at the Hermitage Theater.
In general, the biography of Yevgeny Kulakov deserves attention, if only because much in the life of an actor happens by the will of fate, as if by accident.
Theater work
Work in the Hermitage brings many "star" roles to Kulakov, thanks to which he becomes one of the leading actors of the troupe.
In an interview about working in the theater, Kulakov notes that mutual understanding and revenue always reign in the team. And even a very difficult role is given easily if you play in a well-coordinated team, feel it well and, of course, listen to the director’s words.
Eugene’s performances in performances such as the Anatomical Theater of the Engineer Evo Azef in 2003 and Feast during the ChChChuma in 2005 were rated excellent by the media, and critics called him a key actor.
In the play "The Golden Calf, or Return to Odessa," he played the role of Koreiko, in the "Anatomical Theater of the Engineer Euno Azef" he got the role of David.
Eugene played Tsar Paul the First in the production of "Kapnist there and back." This role was quite a difficult job, because it was necessary to play a great man, and even the complex nature of the ruler had to be correctly described, not replayed so that it did not become a parody. Perfectly coping with the work, Kulakov once again proved that such actors as he are unique, truly “author's” instances.
Evgeni Kulakov: filmography
Evgeni Kulakov began acting in films simultaneously with his debut on the stage of the Hermitage Theater back in 2001. He managed to combine work in the theater and shooting at the film studio. His first attempt was the short film “And It Was Night,” which was a complete success.
The actor’s first television series was the drama “Beyond the Wolves,” directed by Vladimir Khotinenko in 2002. In 2003, he starred in a melodramatic television series called "Theater Blues."
The role in the television series "Students" brought fame to the actor. There he played one of the main roles - the intellectual student Eugene. It is worth noting that such "highly intellectual roles" often go to the artist.
The famous picture "Antikiller-2: Anti-Terror" by Yegor Konchalovsky, of course, brought Yevgeny Kulakov even more popularity and recognition. By the way, in the action movie, the actor also perfectly played the role of "nerd."
In the television series "Club", which went on all screens of the country from 2006 to 2009, Eugene appears in a slightly different role: transforming into a young blogger Ignat. But the rating film for Eugene was the melodrama Peter FM. The huge success of this picture was a complete surprise. The cash budget was about seven million dollars.
And, of course, the famous series “Trace”, collecting millions of viewers from the screen, could not help playing its role in the life of the actor. Evgeni Kulakov came to this project by accident, even when all roles had already been distributed and approved. This is an excellent film about the work of the FES (Federal Expert Service), which deals with the disclosure of the most complicated crimes. Kulakov plays an interesting role - hacker Vani Tikhonov.
Hobby
The actor has an interesting and somewhat unusual hobby. He enthusiastically collects antique Christmas tree decorations. His collection is constantly updated. There are so many toys that you can even decorate a large Christmas tree with them.
The collection has old examples of the century before last. This is an English star from mica. Knowing such a weakness of Eugene, relatives and friends give him a variety of Christmas toys. Sometimes he himself can replenish the collection with a new treasure.
Personal life
Evgeni Kulakov met his wife while still a student. A guy falls in love with a girl without memory almost immediately. The chosen one's name is Olya. They studied on the same course, and he did not take his eyes off his beloved. Olga herself does not immediately pay attention to Eugene, and the young guy has to act persistently enough to achieve the girl's favor. He gives flowers, makes gifts, gives other signs of attention. In a word, all possible methods are used. In the end, Olga surrenders. Eugene soon proposes to her, and the girl replies with consent. Young did not plan a magnificent wedding. Everything went quite modestly. Nine o'clock in the morning - that was the only time that was free for painting. But it turned out to be completely unimportant for the bride and groom.
The couple had a son, Ilyusha. After giving birth, Olga does not go to work, devoting all her attention to the family: the child and the husband. Five years later, the woman returns to the theater.
Only love and mutual respect
The family of Yevgeny Kulakov is an excellent role model. All relationships are built on mutual understanding, fidelity, support and love. The actor loves and respects his wife, each time completely sincerely rejoices at her success on stage.
In turn, Olga is always ready to give her husband advice on how to present the audience with a particular role. She was very happy for her husband when he was suddenly offered a role in the television series Trace.
A heavy workload and a busy work schedule, unfortunately, rarely allows the whole family to gather at one table. The actor works on the set of the film and at the same time on the stage of the theater. Olya is always ready to support Eugene. She tries to please her husband with new items, replenishing his exclusive collection of Christmas toys, and sincerely rejoices with him when she finds something non-standard.
