Really brave operative Taraskin, cowardlyIshutin, who reads on the bench the book "About tasty and healthy food", the cheerful journalist-trainee Zhenya, who joined the female team of the Cyclone crew, the clever and cruel Major Pozdnyakov is the same person? And indeed it is. All these roles have played in different years, but with continued success one of the best actors of our time Andrey Gradov. He is a representative of the old acting school, on the creative biography of which a lot of interesting roles fell, which brought him the all-Union fame and love of the audience. When in the difficult 90-ies there was a temporary idle time in work, Andrei Petrovich showed himself to be a very caring, attentive and enterprising family man who placed his own family on many steps above his personal ambitions.
The future Honored Artist of Russia appeared inthe family of the famous poet and playwright Peter Gradov and Isida Maximova-Koshkinskaya, the daughter of the first Chuvash actors. Andrei and his sister Tanya were still very babies when their mother died in a terrible car accident. The children were raised by my grandfather and grandmother on my mother's line.
After graduating from a comprehensive school, Andrei Gradov easily entered the Shchukinsky Theater School. A smart student successfully completed his studies at this school in 1974.
In the cinema Andrey Gradov declared himself as a very talented actorafter the first bright role of the Red Army soldier Nikita (1978). Since he immediately rose to a very high level, it was no matter whether the role of the first plan or the secondary one got to him, he could not lower the bar below. An excellent example of this is the popularly loved cult series by Stanislav Govorukhin "It is impossible to change the venue". Actor Andrey Gradov, who played the part of Nikolai Taraskin, perfectly matched the collective of eminent actors, having managed not to get lost in the background of Vysotsky, Gerdt, Konkin ... Despite the fact that this role is not the main, but only a second plan, later in the articles the journalists celebrated it as one of the main works of the Soviet actor.
Being a versatile professional, he triedwork in a wide variety of genres, testing their strength and acting skills. So, in his destiny appeared the roles of potter Gridi, a journalist-trainee, a corrupt major. Andrey Gradov is trying to use all possibilities. His filmography is constantly replenished with new and new characters. He played in musical comedies, in detective stories, and in dramatic films.
The family has always been for the first place for the actor,displacing everything else. Andrey Gradov is one of the few men-odnolyubov. He and his wife have been together for many years. In one of the interviews the actor told that although he had created the family quite early, he was sure that he would never change his wife.
When films came out on the screens that gave him fame for the entire Soviet Union, he had long been "in the family." At that time he was only 27 years old.
Andrei Petrovich almost never talks abouthis family. Maybe he does not want to attract even more attention. Or maybe just does not want to jinx your happiness. But the all-seeing eye of journalists managed to find out that the actor's wife is working as a doctor. The couple had a daughter, who is now an adult. The girl decided not to follow in the footsteps of her parents, she mastered the path of a lawyer.
Very difficult, even difficult, days have come forthe actor's family, when practically no films were made during perestroika. Andrey Gradov, whose personal life from the moment of his first appearance on the screen was of interest to all the fans without exception, shared his memories that he tried his best to do everything possible to ensure that his beloved girls, wife and daughter, did not feel any need. He learned to trade - and conservation, and fish, and clothing.
A little time passed to the country from behind the seacame movies and TV shows. Thanks to this, for a certain period of his life, the actor earned a good ear for the sound of various foreign heroes. The family was able to survive the crisis. Now they live very well. Gradually the Russian cinematography revived, again there was an interest in an original actor. Career Andrew Gradov not just continues, but steps up and down the stairs. In his memory, he had very good impressions of his hard years, so he tries not to abandon the projects he offers, regardless of whether it's a serial or a full-length show. In addition, when the uninvited vacation ended, it turned out that the skill and talent of the actor did not fade with age.
When Andrew Gradov appears freeminute, he gladly spends it with his beloved girls - his wife and daughter. Unfortunately, there are not very many such minutes. The actor was already 61 years old. He is a loving grandfather for his 18-year-old grandson. Gradov now has a quiet family life, because he has quieter days with an adored wife than stormy romances with other women. It is impossible not to pay tribute to the actor's wife, because she was always with him, not paying attention to all the difficulties and manifestation of attention from the fans.
