The childhood and adolescence of the talented Russian actor Alexander Mironov was held in Perm. The boy dreamed of performing on stage already in his early years. However, for this he had to go to a big city. In industrial Perm, the young talent did not have any special chances to realize his creative potential.
The viewer Alexander Ananievich Mironov is known primarily for the role of a friend-currency dealer of the main character Tolik in the film "Little Vera". In addition to this picture, in 2019 the actor starred in more than 20 films, and also took part in many theatrical performances. At the moment, Alexander is a member of the STD and the Russian Union of Internationalist Warriors.
Childhood and youth
Alexander Mironov was born on September 26, 1961 in an ordinary, non-acting family. Like all other children at the time, he went to school at the age of 6.
In high school, in order to fulfill his dream of a big stage, Alexander signed up for acting courses at one of the Perm theaters. Later, Mironov always remembered his first teachers of stage skills with gratitude. The leading actors of the local theater, who taught at the courses, tried to reveal the creative individuality of the young man, taught him to enter the image, helped to free himself from clamps.
Having received a certificate of secondary education, Alexander Mironov, in order to help his family and save money for a trip to the big city, got a job as an ordinary locksmith. Working specialties in industrial Perm at that time were in great demand, and the future actor was easily taken on the staff of the Machine-Building Plant named after V. I. October revolution.
The work of a locksmith, of course, did not satisfy the desires of a young man who dreamed of becoming an actor. In addition, workers at the factory were not paid too much in those days. Therefore, after a while, Alexander quit his job and found himself a more “money” job. The future actor became a guide of service dogs.
In 1983, Alexander was called up for military service. By this time, the Soviet Union had been conducting a military campaign in Afghanistan for about 3 years. The leadership of the Perm military registration and enlistment office considered that Alexander, who had experience in training dogs, could be useful in the fight against the Mujahideen.
In the war in Afghanistan, the future actor showed himself from the best side and was awarded the medal "For Military Merit". He returned to the USSR in 1985 with the rank of lieutenant.
Thus, Alexander had to go through a lot of tests. However, his desire to become an actor did not fade away. Some time after returning to his homeland, the young man began to fulfill his dream. Under the state program, he was admitted to one of the most prestigious theater universities in the country - GITIS.
The famous actor and theater director, People's Artist of the Russian Federation Leonid Efimovich Kheifets taught a young man at this institute. Alexander Mironov graduated from GITIS in 1989. Immediately after that he was hired by the troupe of the theater of the Soviet Army.
Theatrical creativity
In the theater of the Soviet Army, Alexander took part in many performances remembered by the audience. For example, in the play Much Ado About Nothing, he played the role of Baltazar, a servant of one of the main characters. In the production of Don Juan, the actor embodied the image of Boabdil on stage, and in Hamlet, the second gravedigger.
In total, in the theater of the Soviet army, Alexander Mironov played about 10 roles. In addition to "Hamlet", "Don Juan" and "Much Ado About Nothing", the actor took part in such performances, which are also quite popular with the audience, such as:
- "Sevastopol March";
- "Overcoat";
- "A long time ago";
- "Paul I".
Roles of the actor in the cinema
In the sensational film "Little Vera" in the late 80s, the actor was invited to act when he was still studying at GITIS. Like most of the other participants in the film, Alexander was later praised by both the audience and venerable film critics. In his role of Tolik, the actor managed to convey to the viewer the energy and activity of many young people of the outgoing Soviet era.
Subsequently, as in Little Faith, the actor played mostly only episodic and secondary roles:
- human rights defender in the film "Dust";
- the taxi driver in the Bigfoot;
- coach at the "Aborigine";
- Mishenka in the painting "Experts are leading the investigation";
- Lieutenant Kondakov in the film "Dark Nights in the City of Sochi", etc.
During his film career, Alexander received only two main roles: Ivan in "Pansies and gentlemen's caresses" and Yuras Bron in "Dandelion Blossom".
Personal life
At the moment, Alexander Mironov lives in a small apartment in Moscow. There is practically no information about his personal life in the media. The actor spoke about himself publicly only once - to representatives of the program of Sergei Malakhov, who came to his home to shoot a plot for the transfer of the film "Little Faith".
According to Alexander, he was married three times in his life. However, he did not have a relationship with any of the spouses. As the actor told the members of the film crew of Malakhov, at the moment he is divorced and feels lonely. Alexander has relatives. One of the spouses bore him a son, and in Perm he had a brother. But close people communicate with him, according to the actor, quite rarely.
Apparently, at the moment, Alexander is experiencing a creative crisis. According to the actor, he lives on only 12 thousand rubles. per month. It is this pension that the state pays to him as an internationalist soldier. Alexander has no roles and, consequently, no other income. Sometimes a neighbor comes to Mironov's apartment to cook him food.
Despite the difficulties in life, Alexander is doing well and does not complain about fate. Perhaps, after a while the actor's creative crisis will pass, and the energetic Tolik from "Little Faith", loved by many, will delight his fans with new interesting and memorable roles.
