Armen Jigarkhanyan: filmography, biography

Armen Djigarkhanyan, the legendary Russian artist, does not need to be particularly represented. His name is the name of a true professional, an unrivaled master of his craft. Biographers and critics have long calculated that Jigarkhanyan, whose impressive filmography has performed over two hundred roles in film and theater performances.

"We all come from childhood ..."

Armen was born on 03.10.1935 in Yerevan. The boy was brought up by his stepfather, grandmother, mother. The boy was surrounded by the love of his family. The young man saw the real father for the first time at the age of sixteen.

It should be noted that the family lived in the Kuban, so Jigarkhanyan, whose filmography in the future will be one of the richest, entered the Russian school. Even then he wanted to become an artist. The beginning was given to this hobby by the mother, who brought her son to the school drama club and did not miss a single performance with the son's participation. By the time of graduation, Armen's desire to become an artist was firm. The right choice was made at the dawn of youth Dzhigarkhanyan. Filmography: comedies, thrillers, detectives and melodramas with his participation - will be a real gift for moviegoers.

Falls and ups of the future actor

After leaving school, Armen goes to conquer the capital of Russia. But not always youthful desires are fulfilled. He failed in the theatrical institute: the examiners were not satisfied with the way he spoke. I had to go home. The desire remains, so the young man arranges to work at the film studio.

A year later (it was in 1954) fate brings a young man with a great artist and teacher. It was Gulakyan who saw in the young man the makings of an actor, made him understand that acting is a constant work on himself.

With the beginning of education, the formation of the mastery of the stage art of Armen is also connected. Dzhigarkhanyan begins to play at the Yerevan Drama Theater, which gave him great pleasure. For ten years he performed about thirty roles, diverse in genre. These were funny and tragic roles, main and episodic, modern and classical. You can note the images of Kudryash in the play "Storm", Sergei from "Irkutsk history."

The first tests of talent

The parties played in the theater were successful, but Armen Jigarkhanyan wanted to act in films. Filmography (late 50 - early 60-ies) began with the images of people, far from each other in class terms - the worker and the teacher.

The first success was brought by the film "Hello, it's me!" (1966). Performed by an unknown artist, the image of a young scientist showed that a new talent was born.

Very versatile actor Armen Jigarkhanyan. Filmography - comedies, detectives, dramas - helps to put together a single stage image of Jigarkhanyan: charming, integral, laconic and conveying character of the hero by a single detail. The performer is looking for her.

Again Moscow: a theatrical career

Life sometimes presents unexpected meetings, which sharply turn fate. It was such an acquaintance with the director A.V. Efrosom, who invites a young actor to the Moscow Lenin Komsomol Theater. However, the commonwealth failed to develop (only one role was played), because Efros was removed from the leadership.

Jigarkhanyan entered the troupe of the Vladimir Mayakovsky Theater, where he worked for almost thirty years (beginning - 1969). It was here that the great man portrayed various characters: strong and at the same time negative.

Train of creative fame

Each viewer has his favorite films, in which the protagonist plays the main role. A total recognition of fifteen films in which the artist with amazing skill creates images of heroes.

The name of an unrivaled actor shines among the records, because this man played an incredible number of parties. There is an epigram about this in which the number of Armenians on earth and the number of images played are compared. Kinorol much more.

For creative achievements, the maestro is the owner of US awards.

More about the works in the cinema

Russia's cinemas remember how the audience watched the film "The Elusive Avengers" a lot of times, and the restless boys looked for ways to sneak into the cinema.

In two films of the trilogy - "The Crown of the Russian Empire" and in "The New Adventures of the Elusive" - the screen master played the negative role of the white officer Ovechkin. It was not the main character of the picture, but it was he who gave the film the coloriness of a complex era. To this we add the skill of the actor: Ovechkin in the tense moments of the story, making a whistling sound, began to pull back the collar of his tunic, as if the uniform prevented him from breathing. However, everyone who watched this, understood, it's not a nervous tic: it breaks out the hatred of the whiteguard.

In 1986, played a difficult role Jigarkhanyan. Filmography about the submarine contains on its list a psychological Soviet drama "Scream of a dolphin." The film tells about the inner struggle of good and evil in the souls of people doomed to death.

Unforgettable series of the criminal series "The meeting place can not be changed." Standing "at the helm" gang "Black Cat" hunchback Karp (performed by Armen Jigarkhanyan, whose filmography is full of various types), he emitted such impulses of ruthlessness that they seemed to reach everyone who was behind the screen. The great artist did not need words, it was enough to see - everyone knew that the leader would not stop at anything. The image of Karp is one of the favorite images of Armen Borisovich.

Like John Silver, a seasoned pirate from the "Treasure Island". In the cartoon, the actor appears on the screen only in the final credits, and before this little spectator bewitches the hoarse voice of John Silver, who wants to seize the treasure. His phrase that the living will envy the dead, has become winged in a world of cruelty. Holding their breath, the audience follows the story, which ends with the victory of justice.

Little viewers do not fear the Wolf from the animated film "Once upon a time there was a dog." Is it possible to pronounce the evil and terrible gray Wolf phrase: "Right now I'll sing!"? Armenians do not know what Armen Dzhigarkhanyan voiced.

His filmography was replenished in 1995 with a new role. He is a mafia boss Kozyulsky in the black comedy "Shirley-Myrli". This image is the embodiment of hypocrisy. And again the actor finds details that emphasize this quality: an orange jacket, a yellow shirt, a green kerchief around his neck. Who is in front of the audience? A parrot? Cock? No, a hypocrite and a hypocrite.

The next role - the servant Teodoro in the comedy "Dog in the Manger" - makes the audience laugh and enjoy the happy end of the play, the wedding of the lord Diana and Teodoro, which could not take place without the efforts of Teodoro.

About the actors you can talk endlessly. The spectator is impressed by any character played by Armen Borisovich Dzhigarkhanyan. His filmography replenishes the collection of world cinema.

Throughout the life path of a famous person, there are no surprising facts, unless one considers that Armen is the representative of the oldest Armenian family.

"I'm an actor…"

Love for the cinema is punctuated with roles on the stage. About himself Armen Jigarkhanyan, the filmography, whose biography is covered in the article, said that he is an actor who is spoiled by dramaturgy.

All the roles performed can not be listed, but in none of them the actor is repeated, which deserves worldwide recognition.

Creation of own theater

An embodiment of professional acting skills was the creation by Armen Dzhigarkhanian of his own theater. Playing in the theater are followers of the famous talent and he himself.

On this scene, Crapp's role is played in the production of "The Last Crappa Ribbon" by S. Beckett. The embodiment in the role took place on the theatrical stage: he was alone with the tape recordings. The artist tried to convey the moral degradation of man.

The Myth of Love

To the personal life of artists is always a special interest. A beautiful fairy tale is spread about the fact that the great artist kidnapped his future wife Tatiana in one of the Armenian villages. That's how dzhigits find brides. However, this is just a beautiful invention.

The meeting occurred unexpectedly, but the young man and the girl were drawn to each other. Soon there was a conversation, understandable only to them. Young people realized that they were created for each other. There was a sudden flare-up feeling and a telegram coming from Efros with a proposal to arrive in the capital. In a distant city lovers go together. Signed in the presence of a witness and a witness. In the evening, a modest dinner in a restaurant: four people and the love that accompanied this married couple all their life.

Afterword

Film career of the artist was a success. A huge number of roles, the recognition of critics and boundless folk love. Today he is one of the most popular Russian artists who, with the same skill, performs the roles of noble saviors, villains and jesters in films of diverse genres. His merits in the development of cinematography are estimated by the most diverse awards. The actor himself considers the most successful role the image of a blacksmith (lyric novel "Triangle"). Although it sounds more than modest, since none of his roles were unsuccessful. His skill is in demand to this day. Ahead of the actor is still a lot of parties.
