A native of the city on the Neva and a native of a creative and sports family (father is an actor, and mother is an athlete) absorbed from his parents and subsequently developed a natural talent, becoming a popular theater and film actor after realizing in a sports career. He managed to become a master of sports in swimming and a champion of the sports society "Dynamo" in the city of Kharkov in sambo.
Despite a rather successful sports career, Sergei Plotnikov listened to his father and followed in his footsteps, becoming a famous theater and film actor, while his twin brother Andrei heeded his mother's advice and continued playing sports.
Biography and career of Sergei Yurievich Plotnikov
On June 9, 1962, the future artist was born in Leningrad. Together with her twin brother, they were often sick in childhood, and doctors advised parents to radically change the climate. That is why the family moved to Kharkov - the mother's homeland. At the new place of residence, his mother got a job as a track and field coach, and his father - an actor in the Kharkov Russian Drama Theater named after A. S. Pushkin.
Since Sergey from childhood wanted to follow the medical path, becoming a surgeon, after receiving a certificate of secondary education, he applied to the medical institute. But, unfortunately, he failed the exams, having received a "three" in biology. And then there was the Kharkov Institute of Physical Culture, where he studied only three courses. All the time he studied at this university, he often went to the theater, and in his soul there was a turning point towards acting.
Since a friend lived with his father in the capital - the famous actor Georgy Zhzhenov, with whom he worked together on the stage of the Lensovet Theater - there was no point in delaying the "bride". The master's approval was a decisive factor, and Sergei began his career. First there was the troupe of the student theater at the Kharkov Polytechnic Institute, the correction of speech and occlusion defects, training in choreography and vocals, urgent service in the anti-aircraft missile forces near Donetsk and, finally, the coveted study at the Moscow Art Theater School.
In 1990, Sergei Plotnikov graduated from a theater university (course of A. Kalyagin) and began to realize himself as a theater and film actor.
From 1993 to the present, under the direction of Alexander Kalyagin, he serves at the Moscow theater "Et Cetera". In the "nineties" Sergei Yuryevich went to the stage twenty-five times a month, which serves as an eloquent proof of his high efficiency and dedication.
General recognition came to S. Yu. Plotnikov in 2008, after the release of the TV series "The Cop in the Law", in which he played the role of the head of the ROVD Stepan Kruchi. To date, nine seasons have been filmed with his participation.
Personal life of the artist
Behind the shoulders of the family life of Sergei Yuryevich Plotnikov, there are four marriages and five children. The first wife of the actor was the theater artist Olga Morgun, with whom he parted in 1995. In this family union, a son, Ilya, was born in 1991.
His second wife was a woman whose name is not known and who gave birth to his son Alexander in 2001. The name of the third wife is also not reliably known. In this marriage, the couple had no children.
Darina, who is much younger than her husband (born in 1990), became Sergei's fourth wife. Their wedding took place in 2009. In this happy family union, three children were born: son Sergei (2010), daughter Ksenia (2012) and son Andrei (2015).
