When sociologists and psychologists begin to talk about a person's charisma, it is not always possible to hear intelligible definitions. But it is enough to look at the play of the actor Vitaly Kishchenko, and something becomes clear.
Starting conditions
An actor, even playing a cameo role, must attract the attention of the public. Anyone who does not adhere to this rule is not destined to get applause that turns into a standing ovation. He is not given flowers by admirers and dear men are not offered to drink. When passers-by met Vitaly Eduardovich Kishchenko on the street, they did not pay attention to him at all. Without makeup, an actor can be mistaken for a plumber or an accountant. People with an ordinary appearance are trained to be scouts. However, since childhood, Vitaly dreamed of performing in a theater or circus.
The future honored artist was born on May 25, 1964 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in the famous city of Krasnoyarsk. My father worked on the construction of industrial and civil facilities. Mother worked as a teacher of Russian language and literature. The child spent all his free time on the street. I didn’t let myself be offended. He knew how to find a common language with his peers. Vitaly studied well at school. He actively participated in public events and amateur performances. When he read fables from the stage, his facial expressions very figuratively supplemented what was said.
Professional activity
The craving for theatrical creativity determined the further life path of the young man. Already in high school, Kishchenko decided that he would receive a specialized education at the acting department of the Krasnoyarsk Institute of Arts. In 1985, the graduated actor joined the local Theater for Young Spectators (TYuZ). He played both major and minor roles in repertoire performances. Four years later, Vitaly was invited to the Kaliningrad Regional Tilsit Theater. The actor moved from the banks of the Yenisei to the westernmost point of Russia.
Kishchenko's acting career took shape gradually, without bright outbursts and scandalous failures. From his own experience, he felt how provincial artists live and what they do in between performances. Gradually, they learned about the talented performer in neighboring cities and villages. In 2003 he was invited to one of the leading roles in the film "Lithuanian Transit". Then Vitaly played the main role in the film "Stone Head". The actor received special thanks from the Ministry of Defense for his role in the film "White Tiger".
Recognition and privacy
Vitaly Kishchenko gives himself completely to the acting profession. In 2005 he was awarded the title of "Honored Artist of the Russian Federation". In 2012, he moved to the capital and entered the service at the Chekhov Theater. In 2013, the actor won the Golden Mask award for his role in the play Untitled.
Little is known about Kishchenko's personal life. He currently lives alone. At a certain stage in his life, Vitaly tried to start a family. But the husband and wife broke up six months later.
