The idol of millions of domestic theater and cinema lovers - Stanislav Duzhnikov - is a rather unique actor whose role certainly does not fit the concept of a Hollywood superhero with a snow-white smile. Rather, the phrase "your boyfriend" or "good-natured fat man" is suitable for him. And the ocean of his warmth of soul always makes his fans plunge into a certain comfortable state, when all problems seem insignificant, and the outside world is rainbow and friendly.
Currently, Stanislav Mikhailovich Duzhnikov is at the peak of his popularity and continues to play the role of Leni in the popular sitcom "Voronin". And in 2017, the actor’s professional portfolio was replenished with film works in the nineteenth season of the Voronins, the mystical drama Nevsky Piglet and the comedy Grafomanov.
Short biography of Stanislav Duzhnikov
May 17, 1973 in the main city of Mordovia in a family far from the world of culture and art (father is a surgeon and mother is a pediatrician), the future popular artist was born. The serene adolescence after the divorce of parents in the village of Staroye Shaigovo with hiking in the fresh air for mushrooms and berries was held under the supervision of grandmother Anastasia Fedorovna.
It is interesting that Stas got on the stage of the school drama circle only through engaging as a workforce, because the teenager was very large, strong and could not refuse a request for help. And then there was the role of the stepmother in the production of "Cinderella" and a genuine interest in acting.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, Duzhnikov could not enter the Kazan Institute of Culture due to a lack of knowledge of the Tatar language, while in the year of his admission, students were enrolled specifically for the local drama theater. This was followed by a return to Saransk and admission to the directing department at the local school of culture. However, after the first year, Stanislav realized that there could be no prospects for a fruitful creative career. And he, interrupting his studies, went to conquer the capital of our country.
In Moscow, the future actor showed remarkable abilities to adapt to the conditions of a megalopolis and amazing determination. After all, he had to not only survive, but even send money to his parents. And "Pike" accepted him into the number of students only from the fourth attempt, when he was already studying at the capital's Institute of Contemporary Art. In 1998, he successfully graduated from the theater university (course of Eugene Knyazev) and began his creative career.
Creative career of an artist
The period from 1998 to 2000, Stanislav Mikhailovich worked in the troupe of the Gogol Theater, where he participated in a number of performances as secondary characters. And since 1999, he has already begun to receive invaluable experience in entreprise productions, in which he made his debut from the stage of the then newly created "Theater of Event Theater" under the leadership of Mikhail Gorevoy and Mikhail Efremov.
Since 2001, the aspiring actor for eight years appeared on the stage of the Theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, where he got a real formation as an actor and received worthy recognition from the theater community. From 2009 to the present, Stanislav Duzhnikov regularly goes to the stage of the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov, where he was invited by Oleg Tabakov. Here, in parallel with filming in the cinema, today he continues to delight his fans with his theatrical talent. Among the most successful projects with his participation, it is worth highlighting Gogol’s “Marriage” (Podkolesin’s character) and the production of “Primadonna” (the image of Myers).
In 1995, the beginner actor made a cinematic debut when he was still a student at a theater university. The episodic role in the film "The Young Lady-Peasant Woman" became the first in a series of subsequent minor characters in other film projects.
A real success for the film actor came immediately after the release of the rating film "DMB", where he played the slobbering "Bomb". This film work was followed by proposals from domestic directors who wanted to see such a unique and characteristic actor in their projects. So, in 2001, he took part in the comedy Down House, and a year later in the detective series Kamenskaya 2.
Currently, the filmography of Stanislav Mikhailovich Duzhnikov has dozens of film works, among which the greatest audience sympathy has received his roles in the film projects "All That We Have Been Dreaming For So Long", "Truckers", "Stop On Demand", "How I Complain About Life", "Pushkin. Poetry in 37", "Persona non grata", "Chasing an angel", "Friday. 12", "From love to kohannya", "A good bad day" and "Games for adults."
