He is still called on the street Yegor Trofimov from the legendary film "Officers".
A popular theater and film actor, whose career peak falls precisely on the formative years in the profession, today he again began to appear on television screens. And the adherence of Alexander Mikhailovich Voevodin to one theatrical stage of the Moscow Theater of Satire causes not only the respect of fans, but also eloquently testifies to the seriousness of his intentions and strong attachment to the same basic values.
Brief biography and career of Alexander Mikhailovich Voevodin
The future artist was born on September 21, 1950 in the capital of our Motherland. Today, from the height of his past years, he perfectly understands that only the absence of "star fever", healthy self-esteem and being surrounded by reliable and decent people allowed him to live such a bright and rich creative life.
The decision to become an actor was formed in him since childhood, which fell on a difficult and hungry post-war period. Therefore, after graduating from high school in 1966, Alexander, without long reasoning, applied for admission to the Moscow Art Theater School for a course with Viktor Monyukov. With a diploma of higher acting education, Voevodin entered the service at the Satire Theater, where he continues to appear on the stage to this day.
The debut in the theater was very bright, because Andrei Mironov and Alexander Shirvindt appeared on the same stage with him in the production "Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro". And then there were many important roles that theatergoers loved so much. However, the greatest popularity of the artist was brought by his film works. Moreover, Alexander began to act in films while still a student at a university. And this, despite the strict prohibition to go to the set by the leadership of the educational institution.
It is with the role of a young fighter in the film "Doctor Vera" (1968) that the filmography of the young artist begins. And Voevodin learned the real popularity from his own experience when he woke up after the release of the legendary Soviet film "Officers" (1971), where he played Yegor Trofimov. Moreover, the school teacher herself, the actress Marina Kovaleva, undertook to resolve the rector's ban on filming in films.
Among the latest films by Alexander Mikhailovich, the following should be highlighted: "Find and neutralize" (1982), "From the life of the head of the criminal investigation department" (1983), "The place of the killer is vacant" (1990), "Railway romance" (2002), "Return of Mukhtar" (2003), Silver Lily of the Valley 2 (2004), The Brothers Karamazov (2008), Sklifosofsky. Resuscitation "(2016)," Mukhtar. New trace "(2017).
From the total number of films with the participation of the artist, the social drama Private Life (the role of Nikolai) should be distinguished, which was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Film category.
An interesting fact from the work of Alexander Mikhailovich Voevodin is that after the deafening success in cinema, he still leaves work on the set instead of the theatrical stage and dubbing foreign films. Today Larry Flynt from Folk vs. Larry Flynt, Oskar Schindler from Schindler's List, Scrooge McDuck from Duck Tales and many others speak in his voice.
Personal life of the artist
From the scanty information that Alexander Mikhailovich provided to the public, it is known that the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation is married and raised his son Mikhail. It was a strong and friendly family that created and continue to create for him that comfortable and cozy atmosphere, which contributes to his creative success.
Voevodin has repeatedly said that "the most important thing in life is the people you are close to."
