Alexey Nilov is a famous actor and Honored Artist of Russia, the highlight of his biography was the shooting in the television series "Streets of Broken Lights". However, the personal life of Nilov, unlike his character, the cheerful opera of Andrei Larin, did not always develop as he would like.
Biography
Alexey Nilov was born in 1964 in St. Petersburg. His father, Gennady Nilov, was already a famous Soviet actor, who is still well remembered for the film "Three Plus Two." It is not surprising that Lesha, from childhood, sought to follow in his footsteps. Gennady did not approve of the choice of his son and advised him to try himself in a simpler and more useful craft. But after school, Alexei did not manage to learn how to work, but he was accepted into the famous LGITMiK without any problems. So the place of the young man about his acting career came true.
Having graduated from the institute and having served in the army, Alexei returned to his native Petersburg, but he regretfully saw the decline in Soviet cinema at that time. It was the time of the collapse of the USSR and the acquisition of independence by Russia. The young actor had to agree to the simplest roles in little-known theater productions and films. The finest hour came in 1997: the talented director Alexander Rogozhkin contacted Alexei Nilov and offered one of the main roles in the new television series Streets of Broken Lights.
Nilov agreed to the proposal. He got the role of Captain Larin, an employee of the St. Petersburg Criminal Investigation Department, who, together with his comrades in the department, reveals high-profile cases of murders, robberies and other crimes. Alexei fit perfectly into the image of a calm and smart opera. The series successfully thundered on television and was extended for several more seasons. During this time, Alexei Nilov became a real idol among the audience.
The image of a brave policeman “stuck” to the actor for a long time. He starred in such series as "Deadly Force", "Opera. Chronicles of the slaughter department" and "Foundry, 4". Gradually, interest in Nilov began to fade, and he appears less and less on television. Currently, he is an artist of the Moscow studio "Luxfilm", runs the "N-theater" and heads the public organization for the development of culture and sports "Coast".
