Russian theater and film actor Alexei Zavyalov became famous for his work in the television series Cop Wars, Tambov She-Wolf, Savior under the Birches, Atlantis, Women's Logic and other rating projects. He played the main roles on the stage of the Vakhtangov Theater.
Alexei Borisovich was immediately remembered for his soft smile, curly hair and light eyes. The wonderful actor left his life at the peak of his popularity.
Searching for a vocation
The biography of the future artist began in 1974 in Volgograd. The boy was born on December 17 in a family of engineers. Lesha studied at the physics and mathematics school. The boy's creativity manifested itself early. He attended a music school, participated in amateur performances. Sports played an important role in his life.
The child was engaged in martial arts, acrobatics, rowing. However, at the same time, the boy was sure that he should not become a professional athlete.
At the insistence of his parents, the graduate became a student at the Volgograd Polytechnic Institute. He easily passed the exams, but did not want to study and create diagrams and drawings. Alexey dreamed of a bright and eventful life. He left his studies and entered the Shchukin School.
After receiving education on the course of Shlykov, Zavyalov received a diploma in 1996. Several theaters made proposals to the novice actor. Vakhtangovsky was chosen. The roles of inconspicuous simple characters were not offered to the stately and effective artist from the very beginning of his career. Curls and bottomless eyes combined with a dreamy smile made the artist look like a poet. All the time he played noble heroes.
On stage, he visited Count Orlov, the favorite of Catherine II in "The Tsar's Hunt", played in "The Cylinder", "The Lion in Winter", "The Miracle of St. Anthony", "Caligula", "Lear", "Princess Turandot", "Mademoiselle Nitouche" and many other wonderful productions.
Theater career and cinema
Zavyalov also collaborated with other theater companies. His works in "Praktika" and "Et Cetera", "Theatrical Association" 814 "and" Atrium of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts "were popular with the public.
During his fourth year studies, Zavyalov met Raisa Shebeko, a film director. She invited a stately handsome student to star in her short film "We Play" The Little Prince ". His partner was Olga Budina, also a student. Like other performers, Alexei began small roles. He was Molchalin's secretary in Woe from Wit, a tradesman in Chasing Two Hares, Andrei in An Island without Love, Dmitry in Savior under the Birches.
Against the background of the heroes-jocks of the nineties, Zavyalov's ironic and intellectual type stood out advantageously. After the very first film roles, the artist gained fame. He did not part with the role of hero-lover.
The celebrity came after participating in the "Cop Wars". The story began with the transfer of a pair of exposed hired killers by the authority of German Drobyshev, "Mozart", to the hands of justice. The event abruptly changed the life of the head of the slaughter department, Roman Shilov.
The most influential urban criminal structures have declared a hunt for him, some of Shilov's colleagues are helping them. In the series, Zavyalov played Stanislav Scriabin. The character has been friends with Roman for many years. Despite some shortcomings, Scriabin is ready to go into the water and into the fire for a friend.
Personal life and work
Alexei did not have to play law enforcement officers before. The offer immediately struck him as interesting. On the set, Zavyalov continued to create images of intelligent people. Most of his characters became ideal for spectators.
You can't talk about the uniformity of all the characters of the artist. In A Day of Anger, he reincarnated as the determined and tough Heinz Tierbach, a detective. For the cause, the hero could behave rudely. Aleksey became a mannered refined Adam Czartoryski, a youth from the century before last, in "Adjutants of Love". He starred in "Agency" Alibi "," Airport "," Maltese Cross "," Kings of the Game ".
The artist's wife was Maria Maslova. She worked as a photographer at the theater of Alexander Kalyagin. The acquaintance took place in a friendly company. The performer could not ignore the owner of the bewitching smile. Soon, the charming girl became the wife of Alexei. Firstborn Alexander appeared in 2001. In 2005 the family was replenished with a child. They named their son Stepan.
Zavyalov did not immediately admit to fans of the change in marital status. The performer did his best to protect his children and wife from annoying paparazzi. When everything was revealed, Zavyalov already had a strong and strong marriage.
The final
After the thirtieth birthday, the artist had a kind of creative crisis. The performer seriously wondered if there was a mistake in choosing a vocation. Zavyalov was no longer filming so willingly, less and less often played in performances of his native theater. The artist was looking for himself in dubbing, working on the radio. The popular artist has a new dangerous hobby, skydiving.
Maria did not share the enthusiasm of the chosen one about his new hobby and riding a motorcycle. She tried to warn her husband, but Alexey did not want to listen to her.
The eighth parachute jump was considered a landmark. On August 7, 2011, another athlete crashed into Zavyalov's parachute while descending. Athe5p received multiple injuries.
The artist passed away in 2011, on September 30. In his last interview, Zavyalov said that theater, not cinema, is closer to him. In his opinion, the artist grows from performance to performance. The audience immediately notices those who do not know how to play. There is too much falsehood in the movies.
The last work of the performer was the short film "In the Theater" by Vladimir Beldiyan. The film was released in 2012.
