Boris Vasilievich Tokarev: the hero of Soviet cinema

Almost immediately after the audience saw him in the role of Sani Grigoriev, an avalanche of glory and warm love of the fans fell upon the young actor. Each of them associated him with a screen image and imagined himself in the place of Kati Tatarinova. And, in spite of the fact that Boris Tokarev (and this will be discussed) has played many interesting roles in theater and cinema, this character has been, even though it's been forty years now, the embodiment of real masculine qualities.

The beginning of the life path

Little Boriska was born in the village of Kiselevo (this is the Kaluga region, the birthplace of his mother). There he spent his childhood. Little Boris Vasilievich Tokarev Grew very little, and the family has already moved to the capital.

The boy was only twelve years old, and he already made his debut in the cinema, playing the role of Victor in the film by Georgy Pobedonostsev. In the picture it was told about the teacher, who managed to take out several orphans from Leningrad, which is under siege. This work allowed to plunge young actor into the magical world of cinema and theater.

And the new role was not slow to appear on the horizon. We needed an actor who could play the consul's son in the play "Pillars of Society". Usually for such characters, actress-travesty is selected. But one of the assistants remembered Boris in time. She approached the director of the picture with a proposal to try a boy who has an undeniable talent, in this role. So it happened. So Boris Tokarev, an actor in the near future, played his debut role on the theater stage. From that moment, in addition to the fact that he was sitting in school during the day, almost every evening he devoted to the theater, where he played in various performances.

Creative achievements

Boris Vasilievich Tokarev starred in several films, while still studying at VGIK. His work in the film "Loyalty" was quite successful. Of course, it was only an episodic role, but even he played it with ease and charm. The audience could not help noticing the pretty young man on the screen.

After receiving the diploma, the novice actor directs his feet to the Theater of the Soviet Army. But he worked there only a year. His true vocation has always been a movie. It was the sparkling camera lens that fascinated him much more than the shadow of the theatrical scenes. And the cinema, as if sensing the location of the young man, opened his friendly embrace to him.

Throughout a couple of years or three, Boris Vasilievich Tokarev managed to star in the movies of a different direction. In his creative treasury added military adventure films and musical dramas, military tapes and film stories. And in every picture he was inimitable and sincere.

The Queen of His Heart

With his future wife, Tokarev Boris Vasilievich, films Which throughout his creative career have been and are loved by millions of viewers of different generations, met while filming the youth film story Edmond Keosayan. They both then barely turned fifteen.

When the director showed the future hero a picture of the photo test of a pretty girl - Luda Gladinko - she immediately with a kind smile warned that the heart of a fire of love did not flare up. Actor Boris Tokarev, whose personal life even today worries his admirers , then only laughed in reply, they say, what kind of love? But everything happened as it happened. At the same moment, as Bory saw a photograph of a short-haired girl with very expressive eyes, he realized that in them he would not find the bottom.

And after there were long months for young lovers and years of students in VGIK, tender, touching dates, timid and quivering explanation in love. Marriage of young actors was signed in 1969. And it continues to this day.

Captain Grigoryev

The new adaptation of the beloved Benjamin Kaverin, a favorite for many admirers of classical literature, "Two Captains" took place almost a quarter of a century later (23 years) after the first. Boris Tokarev, an actor of amazing talent, played the main role in this film - Sani Grigoriev. The actor was just happy. First, this book was one of the most favorite for him since childhood. Secondly, the first screen version, he is said to have watched "to the holes".

The shooting lasted for two years. After the release on the screen the film became a cult. Such a director's find was an exact hit in eternity. Many phrases broke up among the people, for example, "sticks must be perpendicular" by Gera Kulia. Actors instantly became favorites of spectators. Until now, it is impossible to imagine this picture, not only without Tokarev, but without the other "star" artists, because the cast was amazing: Yuri Bogatyrev, Nikolay Gritsenko, Elena Prudnikova, Irina Pechernikova.

Recent decades

In the far eighties Tokarev not only starred in the movies, but also directed several paintings. By the good old tradition of all filmmakers, he shot his wife in them. But with the advent of the nineties, or rather, their second half, the actor suddenly disappears. But he does not forget about the profession.

Talks about his talent reappeared in 2003. At this time on the wide screen came the series "My Prechistenka." It was a kind of epic, which contained a huge period of time, lasting a century. Thanks to this picture, many modern young actors were noticed by the mass spectator.

As a director, he spoke at the creation of the painting "Distance", which was dedicated to Olga Masterkova. For himself, he left the role of an official from the Olympic Committee.

In recent years, Boris and Lyudmila are working side by side. His wife was filmed in almost all the films of her eminent husband. Son Stepan, who saw the world in the seventies, also starred in TV shows. But he did not want to stay in the life of cinema forever.
