Victor Tsekalo is a man of many talents and very artistic. Take, for example, the fact that he personally composed and conducted three programs on Kiev television. This is not counting the fact that he simultaneously played in the theater and acted in films.
It’s hard to say where Victor was more successful: in show business, on television or in another field. Probably, the results are too early to draw, because the main roles and projects he has yet to come.
Biography
Victor Evgenievich Tsekalo was born in Kiev in 1956. His family has a sonorous surname, and she became so largely thanks to the younger brother of the actor Alexander Tsekalo. The boys' parents were Soviet engineers, and everyone was wondering where the brothers had the ability to transform. And then it turned out that my paternal grandfather played in the theater studio at the Russian Drama Theater. And he had to stand on the same stage with a real celebrity - Love Dobrzhanskaya. And this despite the fact that he was the director of a military factory and the pride of the whole family.
In childhood, Victor was the protector of his younger brother: when Sasha was offended, he climbed into the fray, punished the offenders. But sometimes there were more, and then he got it. And so it was quite often - until the brother grew up.
After leaving school, Victor entered the Kiev Institute of Theater Arts, where he received an acting education. Like all Soviet youths, he was drafted into the army, but then was commissioned for health. Gradually, the actor realized that he did not have enough education and that he wanted to expand the boundaries of his capabilities, so he entered GITIS at the directing department.
Career
This gave him the opportunity to work on television as an author and host of various programs. Until now, viewers remember his "Golden Goose", "The White Crow" and "I erected a monument to myself."
If we talk about the career as a whole, then Tsekalo has some kind of "twitchy": that is, work, then no. It happened that he went on tour to America, starred in films in Moscow. And it happened that I had to stand behind the counter of a stall selling every little thing. There were adventures here too: both the bandits attacked, and acquaintances with horror watched the actor sell vodka.
In one interview, Viktor was asked why he did not move to Moscow or the USA, although there was an opportunity. To which he replied that he loved his homeland too much to live abroad. And in Moscow - it just did not work out, no luck. He would like to be recognized and loved where he was born and lives, and not in a foreign land.
In addition to working in two philharmonic societies and many theaters, Tsekalo has experience working in films, though in episodic roles. Now it’s more and more TV shows, the best of which are considered to be “Method”, “Major 2”, “Demons”, “The reverse side of the moon”, “Consultant”.
