Oleg Fomin: biography, filmography and the family of the actor (photo)

May 21, 1962 in Tambov was born Oleg Fomin. Biography of his family almost does not mention. It is known only that the father of our hero was called Boris. Oleg's childhood dream was a great desire to become an actor.

His mother contributed to the study of literature. In school years, Oleg enthusiastically engaged in chess, barbells, boxing, participated in amateur art from the eighth grade.

The beginning of the creative path

After the end of the tenth grade, Oleg went to Moscow to enter the theater universities, where several passed the entrance exams. His choice fell on the Higher Theater School named after Shchepkin, where the group's leader was Yu. Solomin. In his student years, Oleg, trying to provide for himself, mastered several professions. During his studies he was offered to star in the movie "Silver Lakes" with a small role. Of course, this possibility was not missed by the hero of our article Oleg Fomin. The filmography of the actor began precisely with this tape and continued shooting in several low budget films with episodic roles.

After graduating from the school, Fomin went to Riga and got a job at the local Youth Theater. So Oleg worked in the theater for several years, until he was not noticed by V. Rybarev, the director's wife, who was in search of the hero for the criminal drama "My name is Harlequin". Fomin was invited to try. Thus, the main role in the film about the ringleader of Soviet hooligans - Harlequin - went to an unknown actor at that time named Oleg Fomin. His biography as a professional figure of cinema begins precisely with this picture. After its release, our hero woke up to a famous person. He received letters from fans from bags, spectators were bursting into cinemas.

But, despite the success, after the filming of the film, he returned to Latvia and continued no less successful work in the theater. Director A. Vasiliev gave him the main roles. Everything went well. At first, Fomin had eight main roles, then the account reached fourteen. The number of performances per month reached twenty-eight. Raymond Pauls was a frequent spectator of the theater.

First setbacks

In the eighties, actor Oleg Fomin starred in such well-known films as "Dirty", " "Revenge", "Fan-2". In the 90s, the Latvian-Russian theater in Riga was closed down, and our hero returned to Moscow. The directors did not offer him good roles, which led Fomin to shoot his own films, where he was both director and actor.

In the new field of 29-year-old Oleg did not expect the expected success. The first film, "Darling Ep", criticized the history of high school students. The second work, "The Time of Your Life", in general was unnoticed. Removing his own tapes, Fomin simultaneously worked as an actor in films and other directors. Films with Oleg Fomin's participation: "Contract with death", "Country of the deaf", "Vesyegonskaya wolf", "The game seriously", etc.

In 1997 the third film of the director was released. The picture "The Publican" was offered to the audience by Oleg Fomin. Critics again were dissatisfied with the work of our hero, which Oleg himself did not stop. After that, such pictures as "Panther. Probationary period "," Rescuers. Eclipse "," The Conference of Maniacs ".

The long-awaited success

Really get the desired recognition and success helped the series "Next. Next "where Oleg Fomin was involved in the role of the director. The filmography of the unsuccessful director's work with the beginning of the release of this series ended. It took Oleg ten years to achieve this recognition and success. The main role of the series was directed by A. Abdulov, who, according to the plot, was a thief in law. He suddenly met his son and tried to establish relations with him. The television series has gained many admirers.

Fomin continued his success and filmed the tape "Fatalists" with A. Abdulov and I. Rozanova, "Next-2", "Next-3", "KGB in a tuxedo", "March of Turkish", "Gentlemen officers. Save the Emperor "(he himself played the main role). In 2009, as Oleg himself admits, he withdrew his worst work - "The Best Film-2", where famous comedians of the country play. A year later, Fomin presented to the viewer two series: "Natural Selection" and "Cool Guys".

In the late nineties he mastered the work of the theater director. After all, creative individuals are not used to stop on the results achieved. On theatrical stages, they were presented several productions.

Family actor

Our hero does not like to talk on this topic. It is known only that his first wife was Alisa. With her, Fomin retained the warmest relations.

The name of the second spouse is unknown to a wide range of people. The third wife was called Alena. This marriage, like the previous ones, ended in parting, and Oleg Fomin, whose family is his son Daniil, began to maintain close relations with him, giving them all himself. Between them there is love and mutual understanding. Fomin admits that his son is a big fan of his father's work. When he was young, when he saw in the film, how his dad died, he was very frightened. But the child was told that it was not for real.

In 2005, when Fomin was still in his second marriage, which was already cracking, he met Anna Semenovich on the set of one film. During the whole working period, Oleg took care of Anya, brought her coffee. But after filming Fomin returned home, and the girl went on tour. A month later, he could not stand it and set a meeting with Semyonovich. Later they began to live together in Ani's apartment. But nothing this union has not ended. The couple broke up.

Two years later, Fomin began to meet with 17-year-old Masha Balym. This happened after the third day of their acquaintance.

Actor in politics

Once Oleg Fomin decided to try himself as a participant in the elective company VS Chernomyrdin "Our Home is Russia". He was offered to be a director of the politician, although up to this point thirteen directors were dismissed due to the fact that they could not cope with the task.

Later, he admitted that politicians, like artists, are ready to come to power at any cost, not sparing any funds for this.

"Election Day" by Oleg Fomin

After participating in the electoral company Chernomyrdin Fomin decided on a bold project and filmed the tape "Election Day". In the film, he shows all the inner content of the cowardly and unprincipled politicians. In this scenario, there is no positive character. To power the characters of the film are ready to lead anyone.

The tape had a wild success with the viewer.

Cinema about Putin

In 2002, Fomina was invited to be the director of Putin's tape. But he, due to employment in the filming of the film "Next", became the artistic director of the project.

The picture tells about the acquaintance of the stewardess Tatiana with the future official Platov, about their marriage, about their love story. And how he became president of the country. The main roles in the film went to A. Panin and D. Mikhailova.

Oleg Fomin himself and the director of the film O. Zhulina deny the fact of adaptation of the president's biography, saying that this is a collective image. They argue that the film was filmed about the fate of his wife, a busy official, who does not have enough time for home and family. Later A. Voropayev (co-author of the script and general producer) admitted that the prototypes of the heroes were actually V. Putin and his wife Lyudmila.

At the box office, the film did not appear. Only five years later it was possible to buy a movie on DVD called "Kiss not for the press". Although both in Russian and foreign media this tape is called "a film about Putin."

Awards and prizes

Oleg Fomin in 1993 for the film "Darling Ep" at the festival "Sozvezdie" received a prize in the competition "Stars of the Year 2000". On this rewards do not end. Four years later, at the international film festival "Listopad" in Minsk for the film "Mytar" our hero received a special prize "For the search of moral absolutes".

In 2011, at the IV International Film Festival "Noble Peace" received the Grand Prix for the film "Gentlemen Officers: Save the Emperor" (for directing and acting and work).

Fomin is now

Now the actor and director Oleg Fomin, whose filmography has more than sixty roles in films and twenty director's works, does not stop at the result. Still, he is engaged in filming in films, playing in the theater and directing. Oleg Fomin's films and those in which he starred differ in a clear understanding of what kind of film to be removed, what kind of character the character would like to see and how his role should be played. It must be done so that the picture, regardless of the time passed, was close and understandable to the viewer.

The actor admits that he loves shopping, although this is not a male occupation (in his own words). Thus, Fomin removes the stress that has accumulated after working days, is distracted from the hardships of being and is charged with positive.
