Biography of Ivan Zhidkov - the story of a simple boy who conquered cinematography

Ivan Zhidkov's biography is a story about a simple boy from a Russian city that conquered not only the capital, but all Russian cinematography.

Zhidkov Ivan Alekseevich was born in August 1983 in Yekaterinburg (then the city of Sverdlovsk). At school he was not bad at all, but he was a weak, frail boy, because of which he was often offended by his peers, and the girls considered unworthy of their attention. Ivan Zhidkov, whose biography began quite differently from that of most famous actors, did not participate in the drama productions, and his family did not have any connections, so Ivan himself entered the theater university himself, from scratch. Having successfully passed the exams, a simple Sverdlov boy became a student at the Moscow Art Theater School.

Ivan Zhidkov's biography would have been very different, if not for his acquaintance with Oleg Tabakov, who really liked the young actor. Soon Ivan began to work in the famous "Snuffbox", where his theatrical debut took place. Here he came to work after the Moscow Art Theater. For three years he became a real theater star, playing in such productions as "Sunday. Super "," Biloxi-Blues "," Overstuffed Bochotar ". Then Ivan had a second job - the famous Moscow Art Theater named Chekhov, where the brightest roles were in the play "Yu" and the play "White Guard", where Zhidkov played the role of Nikolka Turbin. It was thanks to this role that the biography of Ivan Zhidkov was replenished with the first significant event: he won the Moscow Debuts Theater Festival - this was his first theatrical award.

In 2007, the actor left both theatrical groups without quarrels and disagreements, deciding to pursue a career in film. In an interview, Ivan noted that he did not consider cinema more important than the theater, it was difficult for him to play in the repertory theater simply because of his character. Oleg Tabakov regretted the departure of his pet.

By that time, Zhidkov was already a family man, his wife - a famous actress Tatiana Arntgolts, with whom they played in such well-known enterprises as "Do not wake a sleeping dog" and "Five evenings". They met by chance and immediately fell in love. Then Tatiana was already a famous actress, and Ivan was just starting his career. In 2009 they had a daughter.

The first role in the cinema in Zhidkov was in student days - this is the main role in the military melodrama directed by Peter Todorovsky "In the constellation of the Bull". Then the world saw the actor Ivan Zhidkov. His biography as an actor from this film did not begin - he received good reviews of film critics, but he did not become popular, and the wide audience was unknown.

In 2005, Ivan receives the role of Sergeant Sergeant Samsonov in the 4th and 5th seasons of the series "Soldiers". Then followed the shooting in the "Non-Scrap-6" (skinhead Rommel) and "Slaughter Force-6" (Kostya Cheremykin), as well as the main role of Max Vanyukhin in the drama "Vanyukhin's Children" - a wonderful multi-series film filmed by Yuri Moroz.

Ivan also had experience working in "soap operas" - the series "Love as Love", after which he was never removed in such projects.

Since 2008, the actor has won roles in famous Russian paintings: "The Storm Gate" (for the role of Konstantin Vetrov Ivan was awarded the Medal of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation), "Network", "Zero kilometer" (the best male role of the second plan for the version of "Constellation-Tver") , "Smile of God" (his role as Alan was recognized as the best male role of 2009 and was awarded with the prize of the festival "Literature and Cinema").

Zhidkov remains to this day the most famous and popular Russian actor. His "hobby" - melodramatic roles. He continues to star in both full-length films and serials. It is clear that the creative biography of Ivan Zhidkov will have a long and very interesting continuation.
