In 1972, the future artist was born in Leningrad. As a child, Sergei did not differ from his peers and did not dream of becoming an artist, his dreams were quite prosaic. Without thinking about what to spend the money found on the street, he calmly bought all the chewing gum. Or he could easily exchange the bonds he found at home with his friends for the plastic Indians he had been collecting. Sergey grew up an ordinary teenager, fond of sports, he was engaged in chess and boxing, cultivating a fighting character.
The thorny path of the actor
After graduating from the eighth grade, Sergey Umanov went to study at a vocational school, deciding to become a cabinetmaker. He made rather elegant and elegant furniture in the form of tables and stools, but the cabinetmaker’s talent was not destined to be revealed to the end. Sergei got into the drama club, he was very interested in classes and took part in all the performances, which, rather, looked like short scenes from the magazine "Wick". But this was not enough to discover his talent, and Sergey, without hesitation, went to the studio "Saturday".
Road to dream
The next step was an attempt to enter the academy, but at Mokhovaya in the entrance exams one of the teachers, not hiding his indignation, spoke out against his singing. Sergei Umanov did not believe in his failure and the next year he entered Petrov’s course. At the end of the academy, he receives an invitation to the children's theater, where he was offered for a long time to play only the role of a wolf - there was no prospect. It was not about this fate that Sergey dreamed, and in order to make his dream come true, he found another way.
