A native of Vitebsk, who has become one of the most popular Belarusian actors of our time, today is the only one in the republic who was awarded in the nomination for the prestigious Oscar. Igor Alekseevich Sigov currently has behind him a very impressive filmography and regularly goes on stage productions in the Republican Theater of Belarusian Drama.
Igor Alekseevich Sigov is one of the few modern actors who performs all complex tricks on the set independently - without involving stuntmen. At present, the theater and film actor earned the greatest audience sympathy in the role of the hero of military dramas, serial detectives, and melodramatic mini-series.
Short biography and career of Igor Alekseevich Sigov
The future popular artist was born on December 30, 1968 in an ordinary working class family in Polotsk (Republic of Belarus). The good health and inquiring mind of the child and subsequently young men pushed Igor during his high school studies to a sports path. He even became the champion of the city in athletics, running 800 meters. However, after accidentally falling into a rehearsal for a children's theater studio, Sigov instantly fell in love with the theater.
It should be noted that the path to the stage was thorny, because a young man after school falls through exams at the Belarusian State Theater and Art Institute and the local Institute of Culture, and then was called up for military service in the railway troops on the territory of Mongolia. Next came admission to the Belarusian Academy of Arts impromptu, when the admissions committee was simply fascinated by the passing audience of the exams, and the unprepared Igor Sigov.
After graduation, our hero is distributed in the Republican Theater of Belarusian Drama. Here he is realized not only as an actor, but also as the director of all theatrical tricks. In 2007, for his achievements in the field of theatrical art, Sigov was awarded the Francis Skorina Medal, and five years later he became the director of this theater, which became his second home.
From 2014 to the present day, Igor Alekseevich has been a leading actor in the most prestigious theater in the republic - the Yanka Kupala National Academic Theater.
He made his debut in the cinema Sigov in the late "nineties", as is usually the case, with episodic roles. The first significant role came to him in 2001 from the filming of the film “Sketch on the Monitor”, where he participated in the acting together with Vladislav Galkin and Daria Mikhailova. And then his filmography began to steadily replenish with military dramas, detectives and melodramas: “At an unnamed height” (2004), “The last battle of Major Pugachev” (2005), “The Door” (2008), “Lord Officers: Save the Emperor” (2008), "Dnieper Boundary" (2009), "The Illusion of Hunting" (2010), "Everything We Need
."(2011), " Navigator "(2011), " I do not regret, I do not call, I do not cry "(2011), " Because I Love "(2013), " Death to Spies. Fox hole "(2013), " Beat of the zodiac "(2015), " I want to be happy "(2017), " Fire, water and rusty pipes "(2017).
Separately, I want to single out the psychological short film "Door" from this series, which was awarded the nomination for the Oscar.
