A native of the Moscow region and a native of a family far from the world of culture and art, he managed to break through to the heights of cinematic fame solely because of his own talents and dedication. Alexander Volkov today has behind his shoulders many theatrical performances and several dozen film works, but the mass audience is known more as a film actor.
The representative of the Russian galaxy of movie stars - Alexander Volkov - is currently one of the participants in the entreprise theater of the capital "World of Art" and starred in the title films and series: "The Way Home", "Moscow - Lopushki", "Sasha + Masha", "Wedding Ring ". And his work today is admired by millions of fans, although the path to the cultural Olympus was quite thorny.
Brief biography of Alexander Volkov
Bullfinches near Moscow became the birthplace of the future movie star on September 21, 1975. Alexander grew up in an ordinary working family, where his father worked as a model worker in the production of foundry models, and his mother was a housewife. The rural environment became an excellent motive for him to develop in a sports direction. It was boxing and the independent study of the English language that filled all the free time of the boy, who simply dreamed of the opportunity to communicate with his idol, Jean-Claude Van Damme.
However, due to the lack of sufficient aggression and harshness, the thought of a professional boxer's career still had to be abandoned. Therefore, after graduating from high school, Volkov managed to work as a security guard and advertising agent. But personal circumstances in the form of a future mother-in-law, who most firmly insisted on receiving a diploma with a higher education, prompted him to enter VGIK.
In 2001, Alexander successfully graduated from his university and entered the service at the Moscow Gogol Theater, where he worked for five years. And since 2006 and until now, he has been permanently collaborating with the private entertaining theater "World of Art".
The film debut took place in 2003 with the role of the young prince Alexander Repnin in the TV series "My Prechistenka". And then there was a cameo role in the popular TV series "Sasha + Masha" (2003-2005) and a powerful replenishment of the filmography with serious film works, among which the following should be especially highlighted: "Return of Mukhtar" (2005-2008), "Pechorin. A Hero of Our Time "(2006)," Wedding Ring "(2008-2011)," City Lights "(2009)," Fan 3: The Return of the "Kid" "(2011)," The Case of Investigator Nikitin "(2012)," The Right to Love "(2013)," Long Road "(2013)," Moscow - Lopushki "(2014)," Heart of a Star "(2014)," Mark's Ark "(2015)," Funny Life "(2015)," Red Dog "(2016).
Personal life of the actor
The only marriage with Taisia, whom Alexander Volkov met immediately after leaving school, speaks eloquently of his strength and inviolability. In this happy family union, the couple had a daughter and two sons.
Currently, a large family lives in a country house in the village of Snegiri. They have a pet, Roy, the shepherd dog, who is a descendant of Prime Prime Samtabus, who starred in the title series "The Return of Mukhtar".
