For a long time, the name of Dmitry Frid was familiar to fans of foreign musicals. But when the series "Anna Detective" appeared on the screens, which became instantly popular, a new stage in his career began for the actor.
From athlete to actors
Dmitry Mikhailovich Fried himself admits that he never dreamed of an acting career. He was born in Moscow in 1968. For a long time Dmitry was engaged in gymnastics in the sports complex of CSKA and received the title of master of sports. After returning from the army, a friend invited Dmitry, who by this time did not know what he wanted to do, to the Leader sports dance group. They just recruited young athletic children involved in acrobatics. And Dmitry, who had never before been fond of dancing, decided to give it a try. Successfully speaking in the Leader, Dmitry made several numbers for the Bim Bom theater.
In 1991, Fried went to see Julia Vdovin, a director and choreographer working in the West. Vdovin staged the musical Russian on Broadway and assembled a new troupe. The musical was a success in Canada. And Dmitry stayed in Toronto, having lived there for six years with his family, graduating from the Richmond school of acting and taking part in seven musicals.
Soon Dmitry was selected to participate in a new production, but already in Germany, where he graduated from the Merameo School of Performing Arts. The Fried family again had to move. In Berlin, Dmitry played in the productions of The Ringer from Notre Dame and Cats. With "Cats" and "Mamma Mia!" Fried came to Moscow. In general, Dmitry gave twenty years of participation in musicals. But at first the movie did not work out at all. The actor received his first episodic role in 1997 in the film "Peacekeeper". And that’s all. Then silence for ten years. Until an actor with excellent dance training was needed in the Ukrainian film "Hold Me Tight". So Dmitry got his first major role.
