Andrey Shchipanov is a young Russian actor. His most notable work was his role in the TV series "Redhead". He starred in the TV series Tell Leo and the motion picture Zaza. The list of the actor's films is constantly growing.
In the career of Andrei Shchipanov, there are still few bright roles. However, having starred in a small number of projects, the performer has already earned positive reviews from critics about his work and has become loved by many viewers.
The path to the vocation
Andrei Dmitrievich Shchipanov was born in the town of Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod region in 1987, on June 10. The family was far from the world of cinema. However, the boy's parents developed an interest in him.
My father was a professional musician, my mother worked at a factory. There were always a lot of guitars in the house. It was with her sound that the acquaintance with the world of art of the future famous performer began.
At first, the boy just played the strings. Then she started composing melodies herself. A little time passed, and Andrey became a great performer. However, the passion for the theater defeated the passion for music.
In front of his family, as a toddler, the child acted out scenes, arranged performances. The boy's dream was an acting career. At fourteen, an excellent student who studied as an external student passed the exams and entered the theater college of Nizhny Novgorod.
Parents opposed the wishes of their son, but the young man insisted on his own and was educated in his chosen specialty. The novice artist, together with like-minded people, came up with the idea to enter the capital GITIS.
Only Andrey managed to pass the selection. He chose directing, but he could not study to the end: the student was transferred to a paid department due to the limited number of budget places.
Valery Garkalin's departure from the course due to the inability to pay Shchipanov was very worried.
Iconic films
Parting with GITIS led Shchipanov to the Shchukin Theater University. But in the workshop Nifontov did not work out either. The reason was getting a role in the film "Tell Leo" in the first year.
Due to the filming, the young actor had to miss a lot of classes. In the film, the director tries to touch upon youth problems, their feelings, values, emotions.
Andrey played the young hacker Leo. His hero makes a living by breaking into other people's bank accounts. He, disguised as a rich American, meets a girl online. Gradually, correspondence is tied up, feelings appear. Both make good money, but the couple does not have real happiness.
After the release of the tape on screens in 2008, Shchipanov became famous. The game was highly appreciated by both critics and spectators. The teachers also managed to discern talent, and therefore for a long time they looked condescendingly at Andrey's absence in the classroom.
The debut was followed by new filming. The student decided to leave his studies.
He began work in the film "Zaza". He again got one of the main roles, the son of the main character Nikita. The premiere was successful. As a result, Shchipanov became an established performer.
Star role
At the end of such a successful 2008, an invitation came to participate in the work on the TV series "Redhead". The painting became very popular in the future.
During the filming, the young talent was very useful the ability to play the guitar and musical skills. The young musician Boris Okunev became the hero of the artist. So Shchipanov did not part with the instrument during the filming.
A self-confident and impudent young man was the cause of the loss of sight of a defenseless girl. Having met Tasya's father at the clinic, Okunev fell in love with her. Real feelings change Boris in a positive way.
The work took almost a year. More than one and a half hundred episodes were filmed. In his subsequent career, the experience gained was very valuable. The project owes much of its popularity to the charisma and charm of the protagonist.
Despite the fame and popularity that fell on him almost instantly, Andrei is critical of the excitement around him. After the completion of the project, work immediately began on two new films.
However, both Volkov's Hour 3 and Into the Dark were not as successful as previous projects. After these films, a long pause began in Shchipanov's artistic career.
Time present
He resumed his studies at VGIK in the workshop of Igor Yasulovich. By November 2013, the young actor was awarded a prize for the best male role at the festival of chamber performances based on the works of Dostoevsky. This success brought him the performance of Raskolnikov in the production of "730 steps".
Trying to make up for lost time, Andrei Shchipanov went into his head to study, he took part in about many theatrical performances. The artist is critical of the roles and always sets a very high bar.
In 2014, the actor graduated from the university. Then he took part in a rather unusual project of Roman Chaliapin. Andrei starred in the film Demons, the original version of Dostoevsky's novel. As conceived by the director, the heroes find themselves in a timeless space.
In the course of the plot, the story of Shatov's murder is fully revealed. The action itself concentrates on Verkhovensky, the search for his inner demons.
Shchipanov's personal life is closed from prying eyes. For a long time, rumors associated him with Maria Lugovoy in a romantic relationship. However, the actors themselves called such data fiction. The performer in one of the interviews admitted that he does not yet have a girlfriend.
True, this situation is unlikely to remain unchanged, given the constantly growing popularity of Andrei. Shchipanov's career is gaining momentum at a steady pace. He has a lot of bright and interesting images ahead.
