Creative dynasties do not often develop. To continue the work of parents, you need to accept and understand all the subtleties and complexities of the profession. Philip Kotov is a young actor who still has everything ahead of him.
Starting conditions
Early career guidance has become compulsory for today's children. Psychologists and educators create teaching materials and tests that help to identify the child's abilities. All these techniques were not needed by Philip Kotov. The boy was born on February 8, 1989 in a family of creative intelligentsia. Parents at that time lived in the city of Barnaul. Father and mother served as actors in the local drama theater. A few months after the birth of the boy, the family moved to Nizhny Novgorod. The situation developed in such a way that Philip spent his childhood behind the scenes of the Nizhny Novgorod Academic Drama Theater.
The boy played his first role when he was only a year old. He went on stage disguised as a bunny. For this role, the little artist was paid a fee of 5 rubles. When Philip was seven years old, he found himself on the same stage with the famous actors Alexander Abdulov and Alexander Zbruev. At school, Kotov tried to study without two marks, but this did not always work out. On the part of the teachers, a prejudiced attitude has developed towards him. After the ninth grade, he decided to get a specialized education at the Nizhny Novgorod Theater School.
Professional activity
At the school, Kotov tried not to miss classes and always did his homework. Work on any role was easy for him. Diligence and diligence bore fruit - Philip received the first prize at the Shukshin competition, which was held in Samara. After graduating from college with honors, Kotov received a presidential scholarship as the best graduate. With this money, he went to Moscow to find a job in the capital's theater. After exhausting and difficult tests, the certified actor was accepted into the troupe of the Taganka Theater.
At first, Kotov was entrusted with roles in extras and short episodes. When the probationary period ended, the "guest from Nizhny Novgorod" began to play the main roles. In the play "The Master and Margarita" he appeared before the audience in the image of Jesus Christ. Then he was included in all repertoire performances. The work of the young actor was noticed and appreciated by television producers. After a while, Philip was invited to large-scale projects. In 2011, Kotov was approved for the lead role in the comedy series Zaitsev + 1.
Prospects and personal life
Kotov's television career is developing successfully. However, he does not even think to quit his service in the theater. This combination takes a lot of energy, but a young body copes with extreme stress.
Everything that fans and female fans need is known about the actor's personal life. He maintains a relationship with a young actress, but how soon they will become husband and wife is not known. In March 2019, Kotov received an official commendation from the Mayor of Moscow for his contribution to the development of culture in the capital.
