Short biography of Alexander Volkov
Snegiri near Moscow became the birthplace of the future movie star on September 21, 1975. Alexander grew up in an ordinary working family, where his father worked as a modeling worker in the production of foundry models, and his mother was a housewife. The rural environment has become an excellent motive for him to develop in a sports direction. It was boxing classes and independent study of English that filled the boy's entire free time, who simply dreamed of the opportunity to communicate with his idol - Jean-Claude Van Damme.
However, due to the lack of sufficient aggression and rigidity, thoughts about the professional career of a boxer still had to be abandoned. And therefore, after graduating from high school, Volkov managed to work as a security guard and advertising agent. But personal circumstances in the form of a future mother-in-law, who insisted on getting a diploma with higher education as firmly as possible, encouraged him to enter the VGIK.
In 2001, Alexander successfully graduated from his university and entered the service at the Moscow Gogol Theater, where he worked for five years. And since 2006, and until now, he has been collaborating with the private world theater "World of Art".
The film debut took place in 2003 with the role of the young prince Alexander Repnin in the series "My Prechistenka". And then there was an episodic role in the popular series “Sasha + Masha” (2003-2005) and a powerful replenishment of the filmography with serious film works, among which the following should be highlighted: “The Return of Mukhtar” (2005-2008), “Pechorin. Hero of Our Time” (2006), “Engagement Ring” (2008-2011), “City Lights” (2009), “Fan 3: Return of the Baby” (2011), “Case of Investigator Nikitin” (2012), “The Right to Love” (2013), "Long Road" (2013), "Moscow - Lopushki" (2014), "Heart of the Star" (2014), "Ark of the Mark" (2015), "Funny Life" (2015), "Dog Red" (2016).
