Ilya Shakunov: filmography, family

For him, the material proposed to him, and then the director, is important first. He reads the script brought, and all the arising questions are solved with the director. And only with him. He considers himself a theatrical actor, despite the fact that recently there is only one role in the theater. He likes to argue and does not like dependence on anything. He was an exemplary student and finished his studies with a red diploma. And yet, he is sure that it is impossible to teach the art of acting, one can only slightly correct the nature skill given by nature. He is Ilya Shakunov, whose filmography contains so many diverse roles that other young actors can fit into envy.

Childhood

One of the most popular actors of Russian cinema was born in the hot August 1970 in one of the most beautiful cities of the Soviet Union - Leningrad. Being still a child, he somehow immediately and seriously decided on the choice of his profession. Therefore, he began to study as a schoolboy in the studio of actor Igor Gorbachev.

Studying at school went on as usual. Soon Ilya Shakunov, whose filmography has not yet begun to replenish with interesting paintings, heard his last school bell. And yet the final decision to go on the actor's way did not come immediately. I was first admitted to the St. Petersburg Medical Institute, where Ilya was transferred to LETI. After learning a little, he realized: it's not him, but to be reckoned among a host of famous actors of our time is what he craves with all his heart. Therefore, previous studies were abandoned. The doors of the LGITMiK were wide open.

Invaluity of life experience

While still a student at the institute (the course of Benjamin Filshtinsky), he was recognized as one of the most promising young actors. Studying in the fourth year, already played, and with great success, Chatsky in the play "Woe from Wit" Ilya Shakunov, filmography Which was just starting to replenish.

Prior to studying at the theatrical institute, Ilya Yurievich managed not only to learn, but to work a bit - as a cleaner (that's exactly what is written in his work book), a stoker and stoker. I even drove out of it for half an hour. It is this part of his life that he regards as a very valuable life experience, without which it would be much more difficult in the future. Shakunov is sure that when he came to college at the age of twenty-one, he was strikingly different from seventeen-year-old students by his inner content and experience. Once in an interview, he told me that he happened to play doctors in two films. So I did not just imagine how they wash their hands, fulfill their professional duties and so on. Actor Ilya Shakunov, whose filmography for many years is of interest to his fans, knew how doctors do it. Because he could notice such nuances as a result of experience.

Welcome to the Youth Theater

The year 1996 has come. Ilya was awarded a red diploma. The artistic director of the theater, Andrei Andreev, invited him to become a part of the Theater of Young Spectators. It takes quite a bit of time, and Ilya Shakunov, filmography Which will begin to replenish with extraordinary speed, becomes one of the leading actors of the theater, despite his youth. He appeared on stage in "Dragon", "Mermaid", "Putanah", "Autumn Violins", "Teacher of rhythmics" and many others.

A little later, the actor, who was considered very talented, was invited to the Bolshoi Drama Theater named after Tovstonogov. A couple of months went on in these walls of rehearsals, but to leave the native theater of Shakunov was not ready, so he returned to the Theater for Young Spectators.

Until now, it was on these, which became such an expensive theater actor's heart that he played a lot of different characteristic roles. And now, despite the fact that Ilya Shakunov's filmography is quite impressive, there are also many performances behind him, and even the actor of theater and cinema in the summer turned 45 years old, he still enjoys constant popularity with spectators of very young age who, with an enviable By constant quietly tear off photos of his idol from theatrical stands.

Roles in the cinema

For the first time on the screen, the actor appeared in the distant 1993. It was the drama "The Creation of Adam". The role was small, but notable. The following years brought a few more suggestions, which the actor gladly accepted. He was not very popular with these roles.

And then came the year 2000, when he was offered the main role in Oleg Kovalov's film "The Dark Night". The actor had to embody the image of a photographer named Imant, a strange man, who had feelings for a little girl. Shakunov managed to create, as it were, a graphic drawing of the role - round glasses, a long black coat, a hat with wide margins, the look of a real madman. During the filming of the picture, he turned into a real king of darkness.

At all the film festivals on which this picture was presented, it was a success. Yes, and critics in their reviews with particular warmth talked about the work of Shakunov. Unfortunately, the mass audience could not evaluate the film, because in the rental it never came out.

Each character is part of his soul

Two years later there were three new films, among them - "Kamenskaya-2", in which he played an invalid. In the next year - more movies: "Three colors of love", "Kidnepping" and others. He was so busy with work that on the set was almost twenty-four hours a day.

Shakunov Ilya Yuryevich, whose filmography includes over sixty paintings, embodies the most diverse images in the cinema, which do not at all resemble one another. He had to play doctors, businessmen, even maniacs. And every character he tried to convey some part of himself, his perception of the world and the situation.

In recent years, there have been roles of Alexander Bogdanov in the TV series "Favorsky", Major Alexander Varlamov in the "Abyss", Hieromonk Iliodor in "Grigory R.", Pavel Ryazanov in "The fate lot."

Love, family, children

In every interview, when journalists are interested in his personal life, Ilya Shakunov, the filmography, whose family, since his popularity, has aroused genuine interest among fans of his talent, he answers equally: in his personal life everything is fine. He married for a long time, his wife is the actress of theater and cinema Anna Dyukova. They both got to know each other in the Theater of Theater of the then Leningrad, they never parted. They are married for more than 15 years. The couple have two wonderful children: Vasilisa's daughter ten years old, Makar's son - five. If Anna and Ilia have a joint weekend, they will surely spend them with their whole family near St. Petersburg at their dacha.
