Sergey Borisov is a famous Russian actor who got on the set quite by accident. This unique person does not have a special acting education, he is absolutely not like those actors who, since childhood, dreamed of going on stage. Sergei Borisov became an actor by chance. He is truly the most mysterious and private actor in modern Russian cinema.
Childhood and youth
Sergei Borisov does not like to discuss his personal life with journalists. It is only known that he never even thought about acting in films. Borisov dreamed of becoming a military pilot and dedicating his life to serving people.
The popular Russian actor was born on April 4, 1975. Sergei Borisov's childhood was spent in a military town in Kazakhstan, after which the family moved to Voronezh, and then Sergei ended up in Rostov-on-Don.
Was a policeman, but became a popular actor
Sergei Borisov worked as a traffic police inspector for 17 years. The turning point in his life was the day when he drove the film director Angelina Nikonova to the airport. The brutal appearance of Sergei Borisov made a huge impression on the director.
Without thinking twice, Nikonova offered Sergei the lead role in her film "Portrait at Twilight". Borisov agreed. He was immediately approved for the main role. He was to play the crew commander of the Rostov police-rapists. The newly-minted actor coped with the task just fine.
After the release of his debut film, a real avalanche of admiration and universal recognition of his acting talent fell on Borisov. The film "Portrait at Twilight" received several awards at prestigious film festivals, and Sergei Borisov himself received the prize for Best Actor.
Angelina Nikonova managed to discern an outstanding acting talent in a simple policeman. The film "Portrait at Twilight" became the debut work of director Angelina Nikonova. This picture was another attempt to understand the nature of the "Stockholm Syndrome", when the victim begins to feel sympathy for his offender.
At the Kinotavr festival, where the film Portrait at Twilight was awarded, Borisov meets Avdotya Smironova. She immediately offers him a role in the film "Cococo". Here the actor appears in the episodic role of a priest.
Then Sergei Borisov received an offer to act in the crime series "Wanted". Here he played the role of Denis Popov, an employee of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department. The television series "Search" immediately fell in love with the audience. Sergey Borisov's game has caused real admiration. Many noted that he looks unusually organic in his role. He doesn’t seem to play, but really lives on the screen. No wonder, after the general recognition of the series, its sequel, "Search-2", was filmed.
Despite his immense popularity, Sergei Borisov remains a very modest person. He talks very little about himself. He just silently does his job and pleases numerous fans with his unusually talented game.
