It happens that an actor's career develops so rapidly that he barely has time to realize what is happening to him. This happened with the Uzbek actor Farhat Makhmudov, who played the role of a drug dealer in the cult film "Brigade". Already 5 years after the release of the film, he became an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.
Farhat was born in 1972 in Tashkent. None of his family had anything to do with art, but his parents gave him an independent character, which helped Farhat become an actor.
The fact is that the boy often skipped lessons, and one of these "self-willed" became fateful for him. While the classmates were in class, Farhat was loitering along the school corridor, where an Uzbekfilm worker saw him - he was looking for a boy his age in a new film. Soon, the young actor was already filming the short film "Wolves", which became popular in Uzbekistan, and with it the novice actor Farhat Makhmudov.
Then there was an episode in the film "Look" and the main role in the comedy "Eastern Cheat", after which he really felt the taste of fame and finally decided to become an actor. His dream came true - in 1993 Farhat received a diploma from VGIK.
Career in theater and cinema
After VGIK, the young actor played at the Moscow Drama Theater, then at the Roman Viktyuk Theater. However, the cinema made him famous, and first of all the series "Brigade". The creators of the film project received TEFI, and Makhmudov became famous and got the opportunity to act in Russian cinema. Naturally, after that he had many tempting offers and interesting roles.
Moreover, Farhat is distinguished by an enviable ability: he easily transforms into hero-lovers, police officers, military men, businessmen and mafiosi. The striking characteristic appearance dictates the nationality of the heroes: Tajiks, Uzbeks, Azerbaijanis and even Evenki. His roles in the rating films "Philip's Bay", "Damned Paradise-2", "Outpost" and "Margosha" helped him to stay in the "star niche". And for his role in the film "The Trail of a Salamander" the actor received an award from the FSB.
It is impossible to list all the films and all the roles of Makhmudov - there are more than sixty of them. The last films in which the actor starred are the comedy "Thank you grandfather for the victory" (2017) and the TV series "You cannot forgive us" (2018). In plans - work in the theater and shooting in the detective "Spy No. 1" and the mystical thriller "Guardian of the Way".
Personal life
Despite his charisma and bright appearance, Farhat was not always lucky in his personal life. He sincerely believed that if people united themselves by marriage, then they should be together in any trials. However, this did not happen - the first wife left him. Farhat was very upset by this situation, for a long time he could not come to his senses.
The second marriage with a Moscow actress was fictitious - the actor just had to work and live in Moscow, where he already had a reputation and work.
But the third time was successful: Farhat married a girl who had nothing to do with cinema, and everything worked out for them. In 2004, their first child, Iskander, was born.
