It so happened that the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Artur Vakha did not dream of becoming an actor - he wanted to become a surgeon in order to save people from serious ailments. However, it did not work out as planned, although partly the dream came true: in the series "Lines of Fate" Vakha played the role of doctor Suzdaltsev.
Arthur was born in 1964 in Leningrad, in an acting and directing family. All his childhood was spent in a communal apartment on the Robespierre embankment. Arthur's school years were full of extraordinary events: he changed four schools, because he had a disobedient and obstinate character. He did not get along at the music school either.
Arthur often attended rehearsals at the theater, where his mother worked as an assistant director. Once the director Vladimirov saw him and invited him to the play. So at the age of 6, Arthur played his first role, completely unexpectedly.
When he graduated from high school, he had to think about where to enter with triplets in the certificate. The guy was not expected anywhere except TPU, but he went to Nizhny Novgorod to enter the theater school. But the competition did not pass, he returned to Leningrad, and there he entered the Music Hall studio.
Later he manages to enter LGITMiK, and after graduation he becomes an actor of the Comedy Theater. And immediately success: the role of Sir Egyuchik in "Twelfth Night". Vakha managed to play it in a new way, not the way it was played before him.
True, before the theater, Arthur had to serve in the army, in the tank forces, where he rose to the rank of senior sergeant.
In the Comedy Theater, he had many worthy roles, and once he even played five roles in the production of "Death of Tarelkin". A career in the theater lasted until 2002, and then Artur Viktorovich became a "free artist" - he himself chose roles and theaters. And in 2005 he moved to the Lensovet Theater, and there he played, according to critics, his best role - Andrei Babich in the premiere of the play "Conspiracy of Feelings".
Film career
In his years, Arthur Vakha has already starred in a large number of films and TV series, and this list is not final. His first works were episodes in TV plays, and then director Yuri Mamin invited him to the film "Sideburns", and after this comedy the actor was noticed and began to be invited to other projects.
Critics note that all the heroes of Arthur Wahi are adventurers, dodgers and ladies' men. This image is especially striking in the film "By the name of the Baron". The only exception was the film "A Woman's Romance", where he played a decent man who falls into depression after the death of his wife.
The cinematic biography of Artur Viktorovich also includes work on the voice acting of films. Sometimes several characters in one picture speak in his voice - he can change his voice so skillfully. It is Waha who speaks for Sylvester Stallone in the film "Rocky Balboa".
Personal life
It is known that even at the Comedy Theater, Arthur Vakha met his future wife Irina Tsvetkova, and their daughter Mary was born. The couple divorced, but remained on friendly terms, and Mary played with her father in the play "The Country Wife".
The press writes that the daughter and father are very friendly, and Arthur Viktorovich often listens to Mary's opinion.
Arthur Vakha has a hobby: a motorcycle, on which he loves to travel - to discover new interesting places for himself.
