Barinov in "New Year's Tariff" and Vitaly Krechetov in "Liquidation", bandit Roman from "Real Dad" and Ensign Dygalo from "9th Company", Lekha Nikolaev from "National Security Agent" and Myshlaevsky from "Belaya guards”, Anton Ulybabov from “Big Love” and lawyer Veniamin Shvedov from “Heavenly Court”.
Yes, that's all he is, beloved and adored by many viewers (especially spectators), one of the most famous and charismatic actors in the national cinema of today - Mikhail Porechenkov. The filmography of the formidable-looking man is so diverse that one can only guess: how much talent, humor and self-irony does he have to embody all this on the screen?
Idol childhood
On March 2, 1969, in Leningrad, a son was born in the family of Galina and Evgeny Porechenkov. My parents had very little free time: my mother worked as a builder,therefore often delayed at work; dad was a sailor who sailed with enviable regularity.
That's why quite often they sent little Mishenka to his grandmother in the village for the whole summer. And it was there that the boy felt absolutely free: running from morning to night, he managed to visit the meadow, the forest, fishing or haymaking for the whole day. In the evenings, he barely had time to eat dinner and immediately fell asleep from fatigue.
Abroad
Everything that little Mikhail Porechenkov (whose films do not leave the TV screens) read in childhood was a match for his restless character. My favorite reading was books from the Library of Adventures, which was rather scarce in the Soviet years.
Misha's dad was sent to inspect the production process in Poland, at the Gdansk shipyard. In the late 70s, the Poles carried out the construction of ships for the Soviet Union. Because of this appointment, the whole family moved to another country. It so happened that they lived in Warsaw until 1986. The future actor Mikhail Porechenkov studied in Poland at a boarding school. It was at this time that he developed an interest in boxing.
Youth years
After graduating from high school, Mikhail decided to leave for Estonia. There he entered the Tallinn Higher Military-Political Construction School. Although Mikhail Porechenkov (whose filmography at that time, of course, did not yet contain a single role) was not considered the best among all the cadets, he neverthelessreceived CCM in boxing. Perhaps, if he really wanted to, he would become a political officer, but one day he realized that he was not satisfied with serving in the army. Subsequently, in an interview, he said that it would be very difficult for him to be inside a structure that would limit him in any way.
It happened that the future action star skipped school, and quite often. For which he was expelled from the school. He was only ten days away from graduation.
Stroybat on the way to acting
He was drafted into the army in the construction battalion. After demobilization, Mikhail decided to return to his native city, Leningrad. Since he had practically no money, he even had to work in a frame shop. The time has finally come when the guy begins to seriously think about getting a completely new profession for him - acting.
Never in his life did Mikhail Porechenkov, whose films are known in many countries of the former Soviet Union, regret his studies at the school. On the contrary, he gratefully recalled that time, because it was there that he had a chance to seriously engage in sports - wrestling and boxing. And when he became an actor and he was invited to the roles of the military, this experience turned out to be very useful.
Through hardships to the stars
Mikhail Porechenkov, whose filmography is of sincere interest to fans, entered VGIK the first time. However, it was difficult for him to study, and he was again expelled. But people like thisRussian knight, it is almost impossible to win. He did not give up and entered again, this time at the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography (LGITMiK). All his efforts were crowned with well-deserved success, and in 1996 he received a diploma.
Ascension to Olympus
While still a student, Mikhail Porechenkov began his acting career. From that moment on, his filmography began to replenish at a rapid pace. The most serious, significant, but mainly his first work is a theatrical role in the graduation performance directed by Yuri Butusov "Waiting for Godot". They began to pay attention to the beginning talented actor, who was also very athletic, charismatic and good-looking. He caught the eye of film producers. Mikhail began to offer the first roles in the movie.
It's 1994. It was at this time that Mikhail Porechenkov, whose personal life from the very beginning of his appearance on the screen was under the close attention of fans and the press, received the main role in Ernest Yasan's erotic comedy "Wheel of Love". His hero is a young man whose name is Cyril. He, by coincidence of certain circumstances, decides to come to work in a company that provides intimate services.
Russian Schwarzenegger
When the film was released, the actor realized what popularity is. But oddly enough, for several years after this rather successful work, he was not invited to the projects. And only four years later, in 1998, he was offered the main role in the series "Agent of the Nationalsecurity." There is a legend that at first they could not choose a candidate who would embody the modern superman Lekha Nikolaev on the screen. To put an end to a long discussion, pictures of the alleged applicants were laid out in front of the ladies of the film crew. They unanimously, without any doubt, chose Mikhail Porechenkov.
Very difficult 90s - a time when there was a huge number of Latin American TV shows on the domestic television screen. The audience overate foreign "soap", and when "Agent" appeared, he was received more than favorably. The main character, who was stronger than Robocop and Schwarzenegger combined, and smarter than Sherlock Holmes, won the love and admiration of the audience from the very first minutes of the release. For several years of filming, Mikhail has become a favorite of all the people. But people's titles like "sex symbol" and "the brightest star of modern cinema" are treated with a slight smile.
The actor does not forget about the theater stage either. At first he served in the Leningrad City Council Theater in St. Petersburg, then moved to the troupe of the Moscow Chekhov Theater. In recent years, it is he, Mikhail Porechenkov, who has been the host of many popular programs (“Battle of Psychics”, “Forbidden Zone” and others). The family strongly supports him in any endeavors and experiments.
Love, family, children
The first serious feeling visited Mikhail back in the 80s, in Tallinn. He did not have a very long relationship with a girl, Irina, who gave him a son, Vladimir (born December 22, 1989). She isShe passed away when the boy was only five years old. Volodya now lives in Estonia, and according to Mikhail, they have a great relationship with their son.
Michael got married for the first time in the late 90s. Ekaterina, a businesswoman, became his wife. In 1998, she gave birth to the actor's daughter Barbara. But the family did not last long, the couple broke up.
He met his second chosen one when his daughter was only a year old. The second wife of Mikhail Porechenkov became his legal half in 2000. He calls himself a believer. In an interview, he shares stories that Orthodoxy has been an important part of his life for the past few years. In the second marriage, Mikhail Porechenkov became the father three times. His children: two boys (Misha and Petya) and a girl Masha - daily fill the heart of the actor with a sense of pride and love.
He's so different, at times reckless, but always - strong, brave, fair. He will lend a helping hand to everyone who needs him, regardless of whether he is a true friend or an unfamiliar person. He does not hesitate to be a little ridiculous and funny, modest and awkward, shy and timid, despite the fact that he usually plays brave and courageous heroes. And the audience pays him sympathy and constant admiration.
