Actor Alexander Sergeyevich Bukharov was born in 1975 in the city of Labinsk, Krasnodar Territory. All childhood passed in Irkutsk. After graduating from eight classes of a local school, he and his friend decided to go to school. Yes, in order to learn how to lay tiles, in the late 80s it was necessary to graduate from a secondary special educational institution. Fortunately, this did not happen, and by a lucky chance, Sasha, walking, saw an advertisement for recruitment to a theater school. Reading an excerpt from the classics made the admissions committee pretty laugh: Alexander burst heavily during the performance. But problems with diction did not stop Alexander from entering and graduating from college with honors. Acting turned out to be a vocation.
In 1994, after graduating from college and receiving a red diploma, Alexander decided to fly to Moscow for admission to VGIK named after S.A. Gerasimova. The decision was not easy for Sasha; he was never in the capital. With money in the family was tight, a ticket from Irkutsk to Moscow was not cheap. It seems that father even had to borrow.
After talking with his father, for whom the son’s decision was also a surprise, he enters VGIK. Yes, and as it does, barely manages to submit documents before the entrance exams. He was not immediately taken, because the teachers from the commission were very upset because Alexander forgot to quote a few lines from Akhmatova or Tsvetaeva. But they still put the top three. This was enough to enter the course.
While studying in Moscow, Alexander, like many students, lived mainly on a scholarship in the hostel of the institute. Parents helped their son as best they could, and that was enough. Alexander always remembers his student years with warmth and love, because it was the most wonderful time in his life.
But it all ends sometime, and after the institute, Alexander is immediately accepted into the MDT troupe, where Armen Dzhigarkhanyan is the artistic director to this day.
Cinema and theater
Alexander does not leave the theater for the sake of filming a movie, but the vast majority of his roles take place on large and small screens. In the theater of Armen Borisovich, he participates in such productions as The Examiner based on the work of N.V. Gogol, Three Sisters by A.P. Chekhov, Heart Is Not a Stone, Powder Barrel, Crazy Day or Marriage of Figaro, and etc.
In the cinema, Alexander Sergeyevich began with episodic roles in television series, but his most breakthrough work was his participation in the film by Nikolai Lebedev "Wolfhound from the genus of gray dogs." When the theater learned that Sasha was invited to the main role, everyone was very happy, some even cried, so happy for a colleague.
It was not easy to act in a film of this scale, it became a real test for the actor. Special effects, battle scenes, makeup, a large number of people on the site, which was quite different from the theater stage, plus the main role. And all the cameras' attention was focused on Alexander. After the release of “Wolfhound”, Alexander woke up almost famous, although the real fame came to him after filming in the continuation of “Wolfhound” already in the television version.
Numerous offers rained down, though roles were always offered in action films. Thank God, Alexander had plenty to choose from, he became popular and could refuse any role offered to him. Now the actor starred mainly in television films of a mainly criminal nature.
