Actor Krasko, who died of a massive stroke in 2006 on the set of the series "Liquidation", before his death was perhaps the most sought-after actor. There were cases that he simultaneously starred in seven films.
Career start
Of course, he was a very talented person who had not yet fully revealed his acting talent.
Among a number of brilliant actors such as Porechenkov, Sukhorukov, Khabensky, Andrei Krasko stood out - he was incredibly charming. The acting career did not develop very well at first and was even interrupted for a long 8 years, when Andrei Ivanovich was all kinds of things: he sewed clothes, kneaded concrete in the cemetery, worked part-time as a driver. He also worked as a driver at the Lenfilm studio when they started filming Streets of Broken Lights there.
Childhood
The actor Krasko was born in the family of the People's Artist of Russia Ivan Ivanovich Krasko in those days when his father was still a student at the theater school - in 1957. Mother Kira Vasilievna Petrova was a school teacher.
Andrey did not rave about the theater since childhood, he wanted to become either an astronaut or a miner. played in kindergartenthe role of a bunny at a New Year's party, when dad, like all Soviet actors, worked part-time as Santa Claus. Andrei grew up as a sickly child, this also played a role in such an early departure from life - he did not live a month before his 50th birthday.
Student youth
It cannot be said that he got into the theater institute by chance - in high school Andrei studied at the Theater of Youth Creativity at the Palace of Pioneers. Zhdanov, headed by Matvei Grigorievich Dubrovin. In LGITMiK A. I. Krasko entered the second time. He studied in the workshop of such remarkable Leningrad teachers as L. A. Dodin and A. I. Katsman. Upon graduation, he was assigned to the Tomsk Theater for Young Spectators. The actor Krasko worked there for a year and never regretted this time.
Pre-army period
Upon returning to his hometown, A. Krasko got a job at the current "B altic House", and then the Lenin Komsomol Theater. From here he was taken into the army, and a month before the expiration of the military age. They took him away in June, and in August he turned 27 years old. The day before, he had a chance to become popular - he was approved for a role in the film "The Boys".
He has more than once starred in episodic roles with the director Dinara Asanova, for example, in "The Wretched". In total, before being drafted into the army, Andrei played in 4 films. Of course, in episodic roles. The first was "Personal Date", filmed in 1979.
The gradual rise of fame
A. I. Krasko served in the army for a year and a half, in the Air Defense Forces beyond the Arctic Circle inArkhangelsk region. And when he returned, the difficult 80s began. After long ordeals, when he sold books and sewed jeans, Andrei Krasko becomes an actor in Lenfilm, with whom he is firmly associated, albeit episodic, but very well-remembered roles. Gradually, popularity began to come to him. During this period, he starred in 3-4 films a year. In the wonderful comedy Operation Happy New Year! he is already well known. And the role of Vitka in "Peculiarities of National Fishing" (1995) made him a fairly famous actor.
Unconditional recognition
All-Russian fame brings him the series "National Security Agent" (1998, the first part) where he brilliantly played one of the main roles. Andrey Krasko superbly played the provincial investigator with Pavel Lungin in the sensational film Oligarch. This role, accidentally given to the actor due to Andrei Panin's departure from the set, made him a favorite of all residents of the CIS countries.
After her, fame fell upon the 45-year-old actor. If in 2003 he starred in five films, mostly in leading roles, then in 2004 there were 13 of them. He equally brilliantly played both main and episodic roles, which he did not refuse if he liked the film. In addition, Andrei participated in theatrical entreprises and was a TV presenter of several programs. The demand for it was overwhelming. Life seemed to want to give him everything that had accumulated over the years of obscurity. After the release of the film "72 meters" on the screens of the country, the submariners wrote letters of gratitude to himand addressed them to him as "comrade captain." The last role of Sergei Ursulyak, obviously, would also have become brilliant, but Makovetsky played it after Andrey's death.
Life of a star
It should be noted that the actor Krasko (photo is in the article) was a macho. Women fell in love with him constantly, and he reciprocated them. The list of legal and illegal wives is certainly not the same as that of Al Pacino, which, as noted in one article, can only be compared with endless credits for American films, but it is also impressive. As a result, Andrei Krasko left three children from different wives and girlfriends. The first is Jan, whose mother is the Polish actress Miriam Aleksandrovich. Jan himself is a fairly popular Polish actor. There is also a younger son, Cyril, and a daughter, Alice. Andrey Krasko led a chaotic life. The actor, whose biography was cut short so suddenly at the peak of fame, did not deny himself any joys of life, which undermined his already poor he alth.
An untimely death
The people around him loved him, he had true friends - Mikhail Porechenkov and Andrey Urgant, who at one time was also a neighbor on the landing. They also had a brilliant sense of humor. In all films, but especially in comedies, Andrei Krasko was good. The actor, whose filmography includes 94 films (half of them in the last three years), died very, very early. He starred in wonderful films and series with very good directors - Khotinenko, Rogozhkin, Balabanov and others, but his main role, probably, was not played.
Ivan Ivanovich - dad
Father of actor Andrey KraskoIvan Ivanovich at the age of 27 entered theatrical preparatory courses, where such famous actors as Sergei Yursky and Igor Gorbachev studied with him in the future. Why at 27? Because before that he graduated from the B altic Naval School and was the commander of the ship of the Danube Flotilla. And when he realized that he could not live without the theater, he left the service. The People's Artist of Russia has recently been better known to the general public for his habit of marrying women 50 and even 60 years younger than himself. Anything can happen in life, but persistence in this matter is somehow surprising.
Son Andrei was born in his second marriage. When his father left, he stayed with his mother. In the first marriage, Ivan Ivanovich had a daughter, in the second - a son and a daughter, in the third - two sons. In total, he had four official wives, the last one is now 24 years old.
