The unusual appearance, acting talent and charisma of Kirill Kyaro allowed him to become one of the most recognizable heroes of the film series of recent years, which appeared on Russian television. For a long time, Kirill was invited to shoot only in episodes, but the success of The Sniffer brought him immense popularity, recognition, a nomination for Best Actor, which is awarded by the Association of Film and Television Producers, and new invitations to leading roles from leading directors.
Family and childhood of the actor
Kirill spent his childhood in Estonia. He was born in Tallinn on February 24th 1975.
The biography of the parents has nothing to do with creative professions. His father served in the navy and was a sea captain, and his mother worked in a kindergarten as a teacher.
The boy was a dreamer and dreamed of distant countries and travels, and how he would become famous. As a little boy, Cyril imagined himself as a sailor, like a dad, and was going to go to study this profession. At school, he was not a diligent student, and teachers often complained about his behavior and academic performance. By the end of school, his dream of the sea was replaced by the desire to become an actor. As Kyaro himself later said, the sea would not accept him anyway, because he discovered that he was seasick.
While still in school, Kirill begins to earn his own money. The boy was not afraid of work, so he tried himself as a waiter, guide, handyman in a factory, janitor, driver.
In 1992 he received his secondary education and left for Moscow, where he entered the famous "Pike" (Shchukin Higher Theater School) for the course of Marina Panteleeva.
Far from the last role in the life of the young man and the choice of the acting profession was played by his cousin, who devoted his life to creativity and received the title of Honored Artist of Estonia in his homeland.
Theatrical career
Having received an acting specialty, Kyaro gets a job at the Moscow Drama Theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. For two years he has been performing on his stage, gaining acting experience from the legendary actor and leader.
In 1997, Kirill decides to leave the stage and return to Estonia. Moscow life seemed to him too hectic and fast, which badly affected his health and emotional state. So the actor disappears from the sight of the capital's theater audience for several years.
He returns from his beloved city Tallinn and enters the service in the Russian Theater in Estonia. Kyaro successfully worked on his stage until 2004. When the theater was closed for renovations, he decides to return to Russia again in order to continue to conquer the capital's theater stage.
In the Russian capital, Kirill gets a job at the Praktika Theater, and also takes part in entrepreneurial performances. The most popular were the roles of the actor in the following projects: "The Bullet Collector", "Art", "Red Cup", "Arshin Mal Alan", "Russian Laughter".
Cinematography in the life of an actor
Simultaneously with his work in the theater, Kyaro begins to try himself in cinema. Since the directors did not highlight his external data, the actor got modest supporting roles. He starred in episodes in the series: "Capercaillie", "Girls", "Destructive Force".
The first success came to him after the release of the film "Liquidation" with M. Porechenkov and V. Mashkov in the lead roles, where he created the image of Stekhel's nephew - Slava. Although the role of Cyril was small and far from the main one, he was able to convey the character of the character so expressively that the audience remembered and loved him.
After completing work on the series, the actor continues to build a film career. The next films were: "Left and did not return", "Zastava Zhilina", "Magician", "1814", "Margosha", "We are from the future-2", "Boris Godunov". For participation in the film “Valery Kharlamov. Extra time "already a famous actor receives several prizes at film festivals.
Real fame came to Kyaro after the release of the series "The Sniffer", when the next morning he really woke up famous. The central character of the film is an unusual person investigating intricate cases, possessing unique and somewhat mystical abilities. Many people compare the film "The Sniffer" to the well-known films "House Doctor" and "Sherlock Holmes". According to the actor himself, he wanted to create his own unique image of a hero with positive and negative character traits, with inner experiences and problems that he is trying to solve.
The role was given to Cyril not easily. In life, he is a sociable and cheerful person, and on the screen it was necessary to show an absolutely opposite personality type, the main features of which are perfectionism and loneliness. Its main character never smiles and lives in a sterile space.
Even before the release of the first season, the group began to work on the continuation of the picture, although there was no certainty that the audience would like the series. But immediately after the first episodes were shown, it became clear that the film aroused great interest and was well received not only by viewers, but also by critics.
Working on the role changed the image of the actor himself in real life. He became more restrained, completely changed his image and began to be more attentive to his health.
After the success in the series, the actor begins to receive numerous proposals from directors and screenwriters. Kyaro starred in full-length films and TV series: "Star", "All This Jam", "Angel's Affair", "Men's Vacation", "The Fencer", "Juna", "Londongrad. Know Ours!”,“The Seer”,“Treason”,“At the Crossroads of Joy and Grief”,“Teach Me to Live”,“St. Valentine's Night”and many others.
One of the most interesting works of Kirill Kyaro was the series, shown in 2017 on NTV - "Consultant", in which he creates the image of a psychologist helping in the investigation of a complicated case involving murders and the capture of a maniac. This is a detective tape, which takes place in the early 90s in a small town where the police have been hunting for a serial killer for many years. The main character, psychologist Shirokov, claims that there was a mistake and the police arrested the wrong person. In order to prove this and substantiate his conclusions, Shirokov uses the theory of psychological portrait. The film is unusual for detective series, but gradually captivates the viewer with the tension of the plot and the wonderful acting.
Every year the actor has more and more admirers of his talent, and the audience is eagerly awaiting his new works.
Kyaro's work is diverse: he continues his career in the theater, acts in films in Russia, Ukraine and Estonia and is waiting for new proposals from his favorite directors.
Family and personal life of the actor
The first wife of the actor is Anastasia Medvedeva. The future husband and wife met while studying at the theater school. They had many common interests. Gradually, friendly communication and frequent meetings grew into a serious relationship. After a while, the young people got married, although the mother of the future wife did not like the young man, and she did her best to interfere with their marriage. Perhaps it was these not simple relationships with the mother-in-law that served as one of the reasons for the separation of Cyril and Anastasia. Their family did not last long, and immediately after the divorce, Kyaro left for Estonia.
After the closure of the Estonian theater and Kirill's return to Moscow, his compatriot, Julia Duz, came with him, who became his common-law wife. The couple is not officially married, but Cyril considers Julia to be the main person in life. She helped him settle in the capital after returning from Tallinn and get used to the hectic Moscow life, giving him warmth, love and comfort in the house. Yulia has her own ceramics and candlestick business in Moscow. In addition, she graduated from the Academy of Photography and devotes her free time to art.
