He was the favorite of numerous fans. He won the hearts of many viewers, masterfully getting used to the role. The military was especially good at it. But, unfortunately, he left us very quickly. We are talking about Nikita Emshanov, an actor with a tragic biography.
Nikita was born in August 1983. It happened in St. Petersburg. The child was born into a family that had nothing to do with the creative profession. As a child, in addition to studying, he paid a lot of attention to sports. He was engaged in classical wrestling. By the age of 15, he received the CCM badge. Thoughts of an actor's career did not even appear.
While studying at school, the future actor met a girl. The meeting turned out to be fateful for the talented guy. Nikita's chosen one began her acting career. It was she who advised the guy to test his strength in this field of activity. He decided to give it a try and left home. In addition, this was facilitated by a difficult relationship with parents.
To study acting, Nikita went to Moscow. I decided to get education at GITIS, although there were other options. I got on the course of Leonid Kheifets. I entered the theater stage during my studies. He was invited to the Center for Drama and Directing. Nikita made his debut in such performances as "The arrival of the body" and "Transfer". In 2003, at the invitation of Viktor Alferov, he played in the one-man show "Bamboo Dropping".
In 2004 Nikita Emshanov graduated from the theater school. The work “20 minutes with an angel” was presented as a graduation project.
Success in the film industry
At the age of 20, Nikita starred in the film for the first time. The directors were attracted by his non-standard appearance. At first, the talented actor received only minor roles. He appeared in the serial “Next-3”. He also starred in an episode of the series "On the corner of the Patriarch's-3". Much has changed in his biography after Nikita appeared in front of TV viewers in the form of the sailor Deryugin in the drama “72 meters”. Eminent directors began to invite him to shoot more often.
The actor was good at roles in war films. His performance can be seen in such famous films as “Soldiers” and “Penal Battalion”. Success came after filming Dead Daughters. Nikita got the role of a rock musician. The film "Second Wind" was no less successful for the talented guy. Denis Nikiforov, Ekaterina Klimova and Petr Krasilov became partners on the set. Then there was the serial film "Lace" and the comedy film "Love in the District".
The young actor tried on many images for himself. His filmography includes about 50 titles. However, most moviegoers remember him as Anatoly Loshchilin from the series "Desantura". Nikita has repeatedly said that he is interested in how people who have passed through hot spots feel. Together with him, Yegor Beroev and Kirill Pletnev starred in the film.
The series "Rook" and "In the Risk Zone" should also be referred to the number of significant projects. Some films were released on television after the death of a popular artist. For example, the fans were able to watch the melodrama “Mom by Contract” only a few years after the tragic event.
Actors are wary of films in which their character dies. However, superstition is not frightening for everyone. Nikita Emshanov was not afraid of them either. In the film "The Land of Oblivion", he played a young guy who died during the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. This role was the last for the talented actor.
Life off the set
Many are interested not only in the biography, but also in the personal life of the artist. Nikita's first serious relationship was with actress Evgenia Gladiy. However, they did not last long. After parting, Evgenia and Nikita maintained friendly relations, communicated and shared news. The last telephone conversation took place before the tragedy. On the set, I met Ekaterina Biryukova. She is known to many under the pseudonym Katya Vesna. Everything went to the wedding. But the young couple did not manage to form a family.
The actor died on his birthday - August 17, 2011. He was driving along with Yekaterina and friend Konstantin Kamyshanov along the Moscow Ring Road at very high speed. Having lost control, the actor collided with a car that was driving in front. After that, Nikita's Mercedes flew into the oncoming lane, where there was a collision with another car. Then the actor's car flew into the post and caught fire. Nikita and Konstantin died on the spot. The girl died already in the hospital. They buried a talented guy in the city of Sestroretsk.
