But the general public still knows little about the significant facts of the biography of Dmitry Cherkasov, his personal life.
Biography of Dmitry Cherkasov
Dmitry was born in Moscow in January 1973. Cinema and everything connected with it interested the boy only as entertainment, and he never dreamed of a career in this area. After graduating from high school, the young man entered MATI and received a diploma in aircraft engine engineer.
During his student life, Dmitry became seriously interested in cinema. Friends who studied in the workshop of Tumanishvili of the Russian Committee of Cinematography had a significant influence on this decision. After graduating from a technical university, Dmitry entered the same directing course. In 1998 he released his debut short film "Two Steps from the Sky", which brought him his first success.

Dmitry almost immediately after completing his directing courses decided on the main direction of his work - criminal and historical series. The actors who worked and are working with him speak with warmth about this experience, note the delicate approach to the director and the participants in the filming process.

Personal life of Dmitry Cherkasov
Dmitry met his wife back in 1998, when he was shooting his debut picture - she played one of the roles in it. The couple is not public, neither Dmitry himself nor his wife Tatyana like to discuss their relationships and personal life with journalists. It is only known that the Cherkasovs have no children yet, both are passionate about their careers, giving her all their strength and time.
It is interesting that both Dmitry and Tatiana almost always work in the same project. Contrary to the idle opinion that such marriages are fragile, this family is strong, never provokes gossip and rumors, does not quarrel on the set, does not "share" fame and career success.
