Boris Tokarev: "Do not give up and do not give up!"

A lot of girls of the Soviet Union drew attention to the intelligent and decent, bold and determined, sensitive and able to do things Sanya Grigoriev immediately after the release of the film "Two Captains". Together with him they repeated Gaeru Kulia "the sticks must be perpendicular", together they learned to speak the word "blizzard", spelled out the diaries of navigator Klimov, felt the pain of the death of the mother of his beloved Katya, were selected with severe wounds from the environment during the war And finally found the expedition of Captain Tatarinov. Who is he, this charming screen hero? This and many other interesting roles played over a long career actor Boris Tokarev.

Children's years and debut

The future honored artist of the RSFSR saw this world in the motherland's home - in the Kaluga region (Kiselevo village) in 1947. There he spent his early years. A little later the whole family moved to the capital.

The first time Boris Tokarev appeared on the screen at the age of twelve, when he played the role of Viktor in the picture of Georgy Pobedonostsev, The Saved Generation. This film told a story about a teacher who, during the war, was able to withdraw several orphans from Leningrad, under siege. Thanks to these shootings, a wide road to the huge world of theater and cinema opened before the young artist.

Some time after the end of work on this film, the play "Pillars of Society" required an actor who would play the role of consul's son. As a rule, such characters on the theatrical stage are embodied by women-travesty. The assistant remembered the boy and suggested that the director try a talented teenager in this role. That's how the debut of a young actor took place on the stage. Now he spent his days at school in class, and the evenings were devoted to the theater and play in plays.

Where are you, who are you, my love?

His future wife, Boris Tokarev, whose personal life from the very beginning of his creative path was under the close attention of the faithful admirers of his talent, met Edmond Keosayan's youth film story "Where are you now, Maxim?" They were then fifteen years old.

Showing the future hero of the photo test Lyudmila Gladunko, the director made a warning with a smile to the young man so that he did not accidentally fall in love with the girl. And it happened. From the very moment when Borya looked at the photo of the girl with expressive eyes and short hair, he realized that he had disappeared.

And only after there were years of study in VGIK, tremulous visits, a tender explanation in love ... Marriage of young people was concluded back in 1969. Since then they are inseparable.

First achievements

Being still a student, Boris Tokarev is in several films. It was quite successful shooting in the film "Fidelity", where even the episodic role he performed with his inherent charm, which was included in the memory of many spectators.

After graduation, the actor comes to the Theater of the Soviet Army. But, since his prerogative always remained a movie, not a backstage, after only a year he left therefrom. By the way, the cinema was always very attuned to Tokarev.

For the period from 1969 to 1971 he was removed in the tapes of a different direction. There are film stories, military tapes, musical dramas and military adventure films.

Screen image of the hero

And it is impossible not to dwell on three paintings, thanks to which on the screen formed the image of the brave, honest, honest hero of Boris Tokarev. This is "Two Captains", "A Dawn Is Here Quiet" and "Hot Snow".

Initially, the proposal to appear in the drama "Hot Snow" did not attract him, because he did not really want to go to Novosibirsk. He refused in every possible way, until the director of Mosfilm himself forced him to go there. And this trip was a breakthrough in the career of the actor. The fall into the image of Lieutenant Kuznetsov was a rare fortune. He literally sang all the guys of the Great Patriotic War, who, fighting, did not know about the existence of the words "I can not." In the picture, the perfect duet between Boris Tokarev and Nikolay Eremenko turned out. The result of the work was the State Prize of the RSFSR, received by Tokarev in 1972.

Another small but very memorable and significant in the career role of the actor is the character of the border guard Osyanin ("The Dawns Here Are Quiet").

Twenty-three years after the first adaptation of the novel "Two Captains" by Benjamin Kaverin, in 1976, his new screen version took place. Boris Tokarev, whose biography enjoys the constant interest of fans of his talent, played Sanya Grigoriev. It was a great happiness for the actor, because the book for him was among the most loved. After the release of the screens the picture became a cult. Here was an exact hit in eternity.

Another important point: the amazing cast of the film. They are Nikolay Gritsenko, Elena Prudnikova, Yury Bogatyrev, Irina Pechernikova.

New millennium

Back in the 80's Boris Tokarev, whose photo appears periodically on the pages of many glossy publications, acted as a director of several films, traditionally shooting their wife in them. In the second half of the 90's he fell out of sight, but not from the profession. He was again talked about in 2003, when his picture "My Prechistenka" appeared on the screens, because it was an epic that covered the period from 1900 to 2000. It was this series that opened the way to the big screen for many young actors.

One of his last directorial works is the film "Distance" about the famous runner Olga Masterkova. Boris Tokarev starred in the picture himself, playing an official from the Olympic Committee.

The couple are working together now, and Lyudmila has appeared in almost all the films of her talented husband. Their son Stepan, born in the mid-70's, although he appeared in several serials, did not want to associate his life with the cinema.
