To the Russian viewer, this mature, handsome actor, who changed his name in 2011, was remembered for his roles in multi-series soap operas. Surprisingly, Ratnikov Alexander at first did not even think about a career on theatrical stage or on the set. In his early childhood, he seriously thought about doing football on a professional basis. Also, the young man did not rule out the possibility of becoming a famous musician. But fate brought in his life his own corrections, and today Ratnikov Alexander - is a popular and talented actor who received a profession in one of the prestigious theatrical high schools. He is not at all disappointed that he chose the art of reincarnation.

Biographical information

However, after growing up, the young man somewhat cooled to football, but his parents insisted that the training continue.

The future lider Ratnikov Alexander in his youth did not conceal his love for operatic art. The young man even graduated from "Gnesinka" in the vocal class. It was thanks to music that the young man had a passion for the great art of reincarnation.

Having successfully passed the exams, the young man gets on the course of E. Kamenkovich. At 25, the young man became a graduate of the above-mentioned university.

Search yourself

Having received the diploma, the beginning actor Ratnikov Alexander unexpectedly doubted the correctness of the chosen profession. He was overcome by a deep depression for a while. The young man did not like what he should do, and how to deal with it, he did not know.

Alexander came to the metropolitan temples of Melpomene, but without special zeal he tried to find a job. Seeing this attitude, the filmmakers refused the young man. As a result, he decided to change the situation and went on vacation, where he managed to bring his thoughts in order. Upon his return to Moscow, the young man manages to get into the troupe of Oleg Tabakov's theater.

Work on stage

Of course, at the start, Alexander Ratnikov, whose photo at the beginning of his career was almost never printed, was content with episodic roles. Tabakov invited him to participate in such productions as "The Old Quarter" (the image of the photographer), "The Psycho" (the image of the alcoholic), "The Descendant" (the image of Yulia). It was on the stage of the theater of the famous actor that the young man turned into a mature lyceum. Alexander Ratnikov, whose filmography is known to a huge number of spectators, worked with Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov until 2013.

Also, the experts praised the young man's work in the performances "Running" (the image of the station commandant) and "Overstocked Bochotar" (the image of Ivan Kulachenko).

In 2006, Alexander Ratnikov was awarded the prize of the newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets for his brilliantly played role in the production of The Story of the Seven Elevated.

Working in a movie

The doors to the national cinema for the actor were first opened in 2004. Director Alexei Mizgirev invited Alexander to play in the short film "Dismissal" (the role of Andryukha). Two years later, the young man was confirmed for an episodic role in the series "National Treasure". After that, Mizgirev again offers work to Ratnikov, inviting him to the main role of the intern Dmitri Mysin in the multi-series picture "Confidence Building Service". As a result, the "cine" career of the actor also went up the hill. What other works did Alexander Ratnikov remember? He played the main roles in such films: "House for Two", "Above the City", "I'll show you Moscow", "Sect", "The Last Cordon" and others.

Film critics highly appreciate the actor's work on the set, speaking about charisma, astute mind and charm of Ratnikov. These qualities were enjoyed by many of the heroes he played: journalist Victor Muratkin, guard Andrei Kotelnikov, Pavel.

After getting to know them it becomes clear why the army of Alexander Ratnikov's fans is growing like a snowball. That there is only an image of the investigator Samarin from the "false witness"! Strong and strong men have always been popular with women. However, the actor's talent is not limited only to reincarnation in the "heroes of our time". Ratnikov is subject to other characters in the cinema. In particular, we are talking about the role of Gosha in the film Julia Mazurova "Above the City". This character appears before us as a reckless and infantile young man, whom the people around only annoy.

Alexander Ratnikov like no one else in demand in full-length movies. In 2010, director Sergei Govorukhin invited him to shoot the film "The Land of Men." Remarkable is the fact that in this film, where he appeared in the image of the writer, took part and the wife of Alexander - actress Anna Taratorkina.

Personal life

Ratnikov is also happy in his personal life. He is married to the daughter of the famous actor Georgy Taratorkin. The young man got acquainted with Anna by chance: passing by the dressing room, he saw the girl on the set.

She also caught his eye, and soon they could no longer live without each other. And official wedding ceremonies were ignored by them: actors do not like pomposity and pretentiousness. Lovers filed an application with the registry office and after a while signed up without lavish celebrations.

At present, the son of Nikita is growing up in the family of actors, in the education of which Anna's parents take an active part.
