Rebel, actor, presenter, director, producer - who is this person really? Constantly in a mask, like most actors, or sincere - pure as a tear? Is it worth it to look into a person's soul, to elicit the secret meaning of words, if you can look at his actions, at his specific deeds?
A little about life before the screen
Igor Ugolnikov came into the world in December 1962 in a city that was not yet called nerezinov, in Moscow. From childhood, he was distinguished by indiscipline and absenteeism from school. And if a person with such a character has a lively mind, where should he go? Naturally, in sports or on the stage. Therefore, the young man chose both hockey and a theater studio. Once he played a kindergarten actor - the evil and terrible gray wolf Igorka in the comedy "Gentlemen of Fortune", but this information is not in the credits. It is not worth saying that Igor Ugolnikov from infancy dreamed of a big stage, spotlights and the like, because this period of his biography is hidden from prying eyes. It is only known thathe has known his current wife Alla since school and from there, from school childhood, his nickname is Angle.
Theater and actor: before
First, Igor Ugolnikov became an actor. To do this, he graduated from GITIS, however, he studied at that time as a director, which will come in handy in his future career. Still became an actor. In the first theater, named after Gogol, he worked for four years, and then there were roles in performances of various theaters, including the artistic one, named after Chekhov. In 1990, he didn’t just wake up famous, but his acting talent was appreciated after the release of the film “Walk like a walk, shoot like that shoot …”. In the same year, the film "Chernov" was released, where his role was much smaller.
Glory time
But it was in 1990 that the famous Igor Ugolnikov was born. The program, invented together with a team of authors, was called "Oba-na!" and aired for the first time in November 1990. It was probably the most anticipated show of its time. Life was hard, people wanted to laugh, the old comedians and satirists were too careful in their allegory, and the new younger generation did not hesitate to ridicule many of the problems of their time. The audience was waiting for the screensaver of the program to appear - an apple in a black and white checkered and presenters dressed in the same black and white checkered on a black and white checkered background. Yes, there were several authors, there were several presenters, and even the director was not alone, but the program was based on almost one person and was remembered by many as a humorous program. Igor Ugolnikov. In a creative team, of course, there are disagreements. Perhaps Igor crushed everyone with his authority. Be that as it may, over time, the first authors and presenters left the program, and their last broadcast, “Oba-na!” saw in December 1995. That is, she was on the air for a little over five years.
During and after
Simultaneously with the broadcast of the program that brought him fame, Igor Ugolnikov played in the theater until 1992, periodically acted in films. It was during this period that one of his best roles in the comedy "Shirley Myrli" falls. After the closing of the star program, “Oba-na! Angle show”, TV series “Doctor Angle”, but they did not gain fame. The program "Good evening with Igor Ugolnikov" went on the air for the same five years, but was successfully closed in 2002.
Actor and…producer
Igor Ugolnikov continues to engage in acting activities to this day, only the roles of funny provincials and policemen have changed to the roles of respectable masters of life. In the director's chair I tried myself in two films, after which I abandoned this kind of activity. He got acquainted with production in 2004, headed the film magazine "Wick". After that, he produced three films. For his work in this area he has already received more awards than for his work in the field of humor. Although, as Igor himself claims: “I was born a clown, I will die a clown.”
