The Soviet theater and film actor Romualdas Ramanauskas has played many characteristic roles in his life, including German officers. An actor with such huge growth (193 cm) was very popular with the audience, although fame did not immediately find his hero.
Biography
Romualdas was born in 1959 in the capital of Lithuania. Parents, hereditary intellectuals, raised children in a humanitarian style, so from childhood their son did not notice a love for the exact sciences. After the war with the fascists, Lithuania was still recovering, there were different moods in the country, and the boy grew up in an atmosphere of hostility towards the Soviet regime.
That is why after school Romualdas long doubted the choice of profession. He wanted to become a journalist, but then he would have to praise the successes of communism under construction, which was unacceptable to him. Then the young man decided to enter the conservatory and successfully completed it in 1972, after graduating, he joined the Lithuanian National Drama Theater, where he served for twenty long years. After that, Romualdas tried to play on other stages, but in the end he returned to LDNT.
Movie career
The filmmakers could not help but notice the movie directors, and in 1970, Romualds had the first experience of filming in the film "This Cursed Submission". The experience turned out to be successful, and after this film work others followed: shooting in the films "Wounded Silence", "Favorite", "Spanish Version" and others.
However, Ramanauskas himself considers shooting in the Soviet film "Long Road in the Dunes" the most beloved and brightest line in his biography. The role of the manufacturer Richard Lozberg brought him real fame, and also brought great pleasure and satisfaction from the creative process.
As Ramanauskas himself later admitted, since then nothing of the same degree of creative influence has happened to him. Although there were many proposals for filming, he also starred in many films, but he no longer experienced such a drive in any film or on a single set.
Although his roles were equally noticeable for the audience: Willy Abbott in the film "The Rich Man, the Poor …", Kurt Horneman in the "Zombie Option", Kina Vladimirovich in "The Abduction of the Sorcerer" and others. His characters were distinguished by some extraordinary aristocracy, although, as a rule, these were negative characters. Probably, this contrast between the manners and character of the hero was so liked by the audience. Such a "charming scoundrel" - as some called him.
