Since 2003, the Honored Artist of Russia - Alexander Mikhailovich Voevodin - belongs to a galaxy of domestic actors of the old school who do not like to advertise their personal lives, but prove professional suitability precisely by the quality of their work. He is still called on the street Yegor Trofimov from the legendary film "Officers".
A popular theater and film actor, whose career peak was precisely in the years of formation in the profession, today began to appear again on television screens. And the commitment of Alexander Mikhailovich Voevodin to the theatrical stage of the Moscow Theater of Satire evokes not only the respect of fans, but also eloquently testifies to the seriousness of his intentions and strong attachment to the same basic values.
Short biography and career of Alexander Mikhailovich Voevodin
The future artist was born on September 21, 1950 in the capital of our country. Today, from the height of his past years, he perfectly understands that only the absence of "star fever", healthy self-esteem and the environment of reliable and decent people allowed him to live such a bright and rich creative life.
The decision to become an actor was formed in him since childhood, which fell on the difficult and hungry post-war time. That is why, after graduating from high school in 1966, Alexander, without thinking twice, submitted documents for admission to the Moscow Art Theater School for the course to Viktor Monyukov. With a diploma of higher acting education, Voevodin joined the Satire Theater, where he continues to go on the stage until today.
The debut in the theater took place very brightly, because on the same stage with him in the production of "Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro" went Andrei Mironov and Alexander Shirvindt. And then there were many important roles that theatergoers loved so much. However, the most popular artist brought his film work. Moreover, Alexander began to act in films, while still a university student. And this, despite the strict ban on going to the set from the direction of the educational institution.
It is with the role of a young fighter in the film "Doctor Vera" (1968) that the filmography of the young artist begins. And Voevodin learned the real popularity from his own experience when he woke up after the release of the legendary Soviet film "Officers" (1971), where he played Egor Trofimov. Moreover, the teacher of the school, the actress Marina Kovaleva, undertook to resolve the rector’s ban on filming a movie.
Among the latest films by Alexander Mikhailovich it is worth highlighting the following: “Find and neutralize” (1982), “From the life of the head of the criminal investigation department” (1983), “The place of the killer is vacant” (1990), “Railway romance” (2002), “The Return of Mukhtar” (2003), “Lily of the valley silver 2” (2004), “The Brothers Karamazov” (2008), “Sklifosofsky. Resuscitation” (2016), “Mukhtar. A new footprint” (2017).
The social drama “Private Life” (the role of Nikolai), which was nominated for the Academy Award in the category “Best Foreign Film”, should be singled out from the general series of films with the artist’s participation.
An interesting fact from the work of Alexander Mikhailovich Voevodin is that after a resounding success in the cinema, he nevertheless departs from work on the set instead of the stage and the sound of foreign films. Today his voice is spoken by Larry Flynt from People Against Larry Flynt, Oscar Schindler from Schindler's List, Scrooge McDuck from Duck Tales, and many others.
