The peculiar appearance of Semyon Furman is familiar to those who know and appreciate the work of St. Petersburg actors. Over the years, Semyon Aleksandrovich has played many secondary roles in the cinema. The images created by him accurately reflect the characters of the heroes and are remembered for a long time.
From the biography of Semyon Furman
The future actor was born on January 9, 1951 in Leningrad. The father initially wanted to name his son in honor of the biblical king Solomon. But mother was against. She persuaded to call her son Semyon.
School years Semen Alexandrovich recalls without much pleasure. Because of his non-standard appearance, he often became the object of ridicule. He was given the nickname "old Jew".
Furman knew in his school years that he would become an actor. But he could not enter a suitable university - a specific appearance interfered. As a result, Semyon became a student at the Leningrad Institute of Culture. He entered the faculty of directing and ballet, although he least of all dreamed of a career as a choreographer. But Furman decided at all costs to become a famous actor, even if in a roundabout way.
After graduation, Furman lived in Turkmenistan for two years, working in the Theater of Young Spectators. Returning to the city on the Neva, Semyon got a job as an assistant director for Lenfilm.
Creative way of Semyon Furman
Since the beginning of the 90s, Semyon Furman began performing at the Drama and Comedy Theater. He is proud of his work on roles in the plays "Avaricious" and "Watchman". The actor also considers his role to be a success in the science fiction film "Island of the Dead Ship." Furman recalls the efforts he made to convince the director Eugene Ginzburg to entrust him with this role. The result exceeded the wildest expectations of the film crew.
After this creative work, Furman began to be invited to other projects. The roles were far from the most central, but this did not bother the actor at all. The skill of the actor allowed him to play managers and sellers, head waiter and bandits. The images that Furman created almost never repeated.
From time to time, Furman is trusted and the main roles in the films. He brilliantly played the main character in the crime drama "On the Bridge". Fans of the actor celebrate his virtuoso game in the television project "Matchmakers", where he created the image of a provincial oligarch.
