Nikolai Nikolaevich Dobrynin is a popular Russian actor. The upbringing of the future famous artist was carried out by his older brother, Alexander. It was thanks to him that Nikolai went to Moscow to enter a theater university. Films and television series with his participation are always popular among the audience. In 2002, Dobrynin was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia.
Childhood and adolescence
Nikolai Dobrynin was born on August 17, 1963 in Taganrog. His father was a police officer. Unfortunately, he died very early. Even as a child, Nikolai loved to dress in his father's tunic and portray scenes from war films.
The childhood of Nikolai Dobrynin cannot be called simple. He spent a lot of time on the street, he was a real bully. He often fought and participated in district-to-district gatherings.
Having lost his father early, Nikolai understood from a very young age what money was: there was always a lack of it in the family. While still in school, Nikolai worked as a loader and put together mailboxes.
Despite all the difficulties, Dobrynin attended ballroom dancing classes and took part in school amateur performances.
Nikolai's elder brother, Alexander Dobrynin, helped him move to Moscow after graduation. Alexander advised his brother to try to enter the acting department. Alexander himself later became a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater.
Nikolai Dobrynin entered GITIS. His classmates were Dmitry Pevtsov and Vladimir Vinogradov.
While still a student, Nikolai marries his classmate - Ksenia Larina. They lived together for five years.
Actor career
Nikolai Dobrynin graduated from GITIS in 1985 and was immediately accepted into the troupe of the Satyricon Theater, headed by Arkady Isaakovich Raikin.
However, there were no major roles in the theater. Dobrynin spent almost four years in the crowd.
Dobrynin got his first leading role in a movie in 1987. He played in the film "Goodbye, Zamoskvoretskaya punks …" directed by Alexander Pankratov.
In the late 80s, Nikolai got married again. The famous actress Anna Terekhova became his second wife. In 1988, his son Mikhail was born, who did not want to be an artist - he became a psychologist.
In the theater "Satyricon" Dobrynin did not play prominent roles. In 1989, his acting talent was noticed by the famous director Roman Viktyuk, who immediately invites Nikolai to work in his theater. It is here that Nikolai Dobrynin literally reveals himself. He creates complex psychological images that bring him wide fame in the theatrical environment.
In the 90s of the last century, Russian cinema was going through hard times, but at this time Nikolai Dobrynin starred in several decent films and became popular among the audience. Dobrynin's most famous work in those difficult years is the main role in the film "All That We Dreamed of for So Long."
In the 21st century, Russian cinema began to gradually emerge from the protracted crisis. Nikolai Dobrynin is active in films and television. The time has come when he is no longer able to combine filming and working on the theater stage.
In 2004 he leaves the Viktyuk Theater after 16 years of work.
The series "Matchmakers"
In 2009, the third season of the series "Matchmakers" was released on television, where Dobrynin played the role of Mityai Bukhankin. This role made the actor a real celebrity.
At first, his hero was planned as a minor character, but thanks to Dobrynin's bright acting performance, Bukhankin becomes the central character of this comedy series.
The audience liked Mityai so much that in 2011 a separate 20-episode television film "Tales of Mitya" was shot.
Personal life
Nikolai Dobrynin married for the third time. His current wife is Ekaterina Komissarova. She has nothing to do with the acting environment. Before her marriage, she worked as a flight attendant. In 2008, the actor had a daughter, Nina.
Dobrynin does not like to talk a lot about his personal life. Only one thing is known: in his third marriage, he feels happy.
