Biography and career of Alexander Borisovich Belyavsky
May 6, 1932 in the capital of our country in a simple family, far from the world of culture and art, the future idol of millions of fans was born. Even in difficult wartime, Sasha did not skip classes at school. And in 1949 he received a certificate of secondary education and became a student of a technical university to obtain a geologist's specialty. After graduating from the institute in 1955, Belyavsky went to Irkutsk, where, simultaneously with work in his specialty, he began to go to the theatrical stage of the local drama theater.
His role in “Woe from Wit” became a key one in life, because even then they wrote about him in the city newspaper. Alexander was inspired by the idea of becoming an actor so much that upon his return to the capital, simultaneously with his work at the research institute, he began to regularly participate in amateur performances. And therefore no one was surprised that in 1957 he became a student of the legendary Pike for four years.
Since 1961, Alexander Belyavsky for three years appeared on the stage of the Satire Theater. And then there were two years in the capital’s Stanislavsky Theater and a period of work in the Theater-Studio of the film actor. Then came a long period of time when the actor focused on the cinema. But since 1999, he has returned to the scene. To the theaters of the capital, he was more familiar with entreprise productions.
The cinematic debut of Alexander Belyavsky took place in 1957, when he starred as Kolya in the film "Tales of Lenin". And then there was a long stage in his career, when he replenished his filmography with six film works, starring with Polish directors. The painting "Four Tankers and a Dog" was then most successful.
And Alexander Belyavsky became truly famous in the ensuing Soviet period of his cinematic work. It was the second half of the “sixties” and “seventies” that filled his filmography with cult projects that are currently included in the Golden Fund of Russian Cinema. Interestingly, the actor himself did not at all expect that Fox’s role in “Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed” would make him so popular throughout the post-Soviet space. According to him, he treated this film work as the most ordinary one and even “couldn’t understand how to portray the animal instinct that reveals a police trap” in the scene with a restaurant, where he had to go out the window.
And his last significant characters, Alexander Borisovich played in the “zero”.
