People's Artist of Russia and the owner of prestigious theater awards ("Crystal Turandot" and "Seagulls") - Dmitry Yuryevich Nazarov - today is well known throughout the post-Soviet space. And after the release of the acclaimed comedy sitcom "Kitchen", where the master played the chef of a French restaurant Viktor Barinov, his already very high ratings simply went off scale.
A native of Ruza near Moscow and a native of a family far from the world of culture and art, Dmitry Nazarov is today the leading artist of the Moscow Art Theater named after A. P. Chekhov and occupies his own niche in Russian cinema. And behind his shoulders, there are currently many theatrical projects, dozens of film works and several high-profile television shows.
Biography and career of Dmitry Yuryevich Nazarov
On July 4, 1957, a future artist was born in an ordinary Soviet family, which was announced by the receiving midwife during childbirth, having heard his heroic cry. The desire to be in the spotlight and perform on any impromptu stage was expressed in Dima since childhood. During his school years, he actively took part in amateur performances, performed at all kinds of concerts and in KVN.
In addition, because of the incident that happened to him at the age of thirteen, when the hooligans "poked him in full", watching in the doorway, he began to practice sambo. This did not bring great sporting achievements, but he subsequently managed to protect his dignity. And in general, the physical condition of the actors plays a very important role in this profession, since heavy loads are often fatal to their health.
However, the path to the theatrical stage was still quite thorny, because the first attempt to enter a theater university was unsuccessful. And then, within four years, Nazarov began to realize himself in the confectionery region, having got a job in a bakery plant in the capital. But the craving for acting all the same overpowered, and the workshop of Viktor Korshunov in the legendary "Sliver" was waiting for the future artist.
In 1980, Dmitry graduated from his theatrical university and for fifteen years went to the stage of the Maly Theater, combining his performances in his native theater with productions in the theaters "Sphere" and the Russian Army. And since 2003 and until now, he serves in the troupe of the Moscow Art Theater named after A. P. Chekhov.
Nazarov received his first experience on the set by acting in cameo roles, when his name was not even listed in the credits of the films. In 1996, in the film "On the Raft" by Konstantin Antropov, he gets his first significant role. And then there was the crime series "Citizen Chief" (2001), in which he already played the main role. From that time on, his film actor's career began to develop rapidly.
To date, the filmography of the People's Artist of the Russian Federation strikes the imagination with its fullness of the most diverse roles. Among the most famous films and TV series, I would like to note the following: "Law" (2002), "Station" (2003), "Call" (2004), "Penal Battalion" (2004), "Golden Calf" (2006), "Yeltsin. Three days in August "(2011)," Kitchen "(2012-2016)," The color of bird cherry "(2012)," Spy "(2012)," Mobius "(2013)," While the village is sleeping "(2013)," Kitchen in Paris "(2014)," SOS, Santa Claus, or Everything will come true! " (2015), “Kitchen. The Last Battle "(2017).
Personal life of the artist
The first wife of Dmitry Yuryevich was a girl Natalya. She gave birth to a daughter, Nina. Nothing is known about the reason for their divorce.
The second wife of the artist was the actress Natalya Krasnoyarskaya. But this marriage was not destined to become the last because, as some sources say, a stormy romance with the future third wife - a colleague in the theater workshop Olga Vasilyeva.
Currently, the family of the People's Artist of Russia is raising a son Arseny (from his wife's first marriage) and a joint daughter Arina.
