Childhood

The future actor grew up in a family of doctors and as a child did not even think about the stage. As a child, Sasha was very athletic. There was a hockey rink in the yard of his house. A little boy I constantly ran with friends to watch how older comrades were chasing pucks. A little later, Alexander himself got on skates. Once a coach from the Spartakovets children's sports school looked into the yard. He suggested that the guys seriously take up hockey. Alexander joined the team and began to show good results. Later, thoughts about a career as a professional hockey player began to creep in.

In addition to hockey, Alexander Efimov was fond of swimming and even studied at the school of the Olympic reserve. At young man almost everything worked out, only diligence was not enough. This, the actor admits, let him down, so neither a swimmer nor a hockey player came out of Sasha. By the way, many guys from the "Spartacists" have grown to play in the NHL. For example, Alexei Yashin, Nikolai Khabibullin, Pavel Datsyuk.

At school, Alexander Efimov studied well, but his behavior was lame. The future actor was replete with ideas of all sorts of pranks.

“I remember in my school years I was very cool with new ideas! - says Alexander Efimov. - I always figured out what to do with my friends. I, so to speak, had a clan of like-minded people, and even on the control, when everyone thought about examples, we thought about how to mess up.

As a result, the teachers' patience snapped, and Sasha finished the eleventh grade at another school.

“In the 11th grade, I already studied at another school, for which I am very grateful to the headmistress and teachers. In one class, they gathered all the gouging, not vile, but those who needed to be sent to a peaceful direction. There I was able to prepare a program for my admission to a theater university.

In 1997, Efimov went to storm Moscow.

student body

And the intuitive expectation was justified.

Alexander Efimov applied to four universities at once: Shchepkinskoye, Shchukinskoye, VGIK and the Moscow Art Theater School. By the way, the actor sat in the last exam Oleg Tabakov. Alexander immediately tried to impress him. As soon as he entered the audience, he began to read a monologue: “Butt up, you have syphilis,” he said, looking at Tabakov. Oleg Pavlovich was taken aback and asked "Me?". The answer was: "Yes, the disease is very serious, affecting all organs ...". Fortunately, Tabakov remembered that these were lines from Mikhail Bulgakov's Notes of a Young Doctor.

Oleg Tabakov liked the resourceful applicant, and Alexander Efimov was admitted to the Moscow Art Theater School. However, at the same time, the young talent passed the exams at VGIK and Pike. That's just in Sliver failed. And when Efimov was choosing a university, he chose the Tabakov School-Studio. He was enrolled in the course of the actor Vanguard Leontiev.

Actor career

Alexander Efimov speaks warmly about his studies at the theater. He notes the special atmosphere that reigned in the Studio School. The young actor lived in a hostel, in a room where the actor Yevgeny Mironov once lived. By the way, Yefimov personally met him in his second year. It happened on the set of the film "In August 44th."

Alexander Efimov got into this picture thanks to the same Evgeny Mironov. The actor often visited the Moscow Art Theater School and offered the director Ptashuk the candidacy of Efimov, and then persuaded Oleg Tabakov to let the student go to shoot.

The film "In August 1944" tells about the work of SMERSH counterintelligence during the war in the territory liberated from the Nazis. Alexander Efimov played a deserter officer who was hunted by the main characters Yevgeny Mironov, Yuri Kolokolnikov and Vladislav Galkin.

Experienced Mironov and Galkin helped the novice actor to the best of their ability. Alexander Efimov recalls this with gratitude.

“Thanks to Evgeny Mironov, he helped on the set, worked with me. When I returned from the trip, I looked at the profession of an actor in a completely different way and was sincerely infected with it, ”says the actor.

Communication with eminent actors only benefited Efimov. He began to study with redoubled energy. He rehearsed sketches at night, and in the classroom he passed them off as impromptu. The actor recalls that he loved large-scale sketches. If fellow students were attracted only by an apple or a glass, then Alexander brought half of the hostel with him. And once, in front of Leontiev, he tried to climb out of the window on the fire escape.

Adjutants of Love episode 10

In the fourth year, Alexander was offered to play Mikhail Yusupov in the series "Two Fates". It was the first major role. The actor admits that the role was successful only thanks to the director and cameraman. The young actor did not even have developed coordination on the set. The role itself was also difficult, it was difficult to play a person from Afghan captivity. However, acquaintance in my youth with people who fought in Afghanistan helped.

In the fifth year, the actor starred in the film "For the Tsar and the Fatherland" together with the teacher Vanguard Leontiev. The avant-garde got the role of Emperor Paul the First, and Efimov - the role of his son. The actor himself admits that the work was like an exam.

Later, the actor moved to the Tabakov Theater. Now he plays roles in the performances of "The Ideal Husband" there.

However, Alexander Efimov is known not so much for his roles in the theater as for his work in the cinema. In 2002 and 2003, he worked on the films and TV series Bayazet, Passenger Without Baggage, 72 Meters.

In 2005, an invitation to the TV series "Cherub" followed. There, the actor played two polar images at once - Stas and Sergey Loginov. One is a Major of the FSB, the other is a sissy, a coward and a lazy person.

“I entered the role convulsively,” says Alexander Efimov. – I had to play the characters at the same time. I was afraid to overplay and began to “grimacing”. Another difficulty was that one character - Sergei - had to constantly put on makeup, because the characters were not supposed to be similar to each other.

However, the actor coped with the task brilliantly. After "Cherubim" they started talking about him as a new star. In 2005, Alexander Efimov also starred in the sequel to Two Stars, the TV series Adjutants of Love, Turkish March, Dead. Alive. Dangerous”, “Star of the era”.

And at the same time, one of their main roles followed in the action movie Mirror Wars: The First Reflection. Efimov played test pilot Alexei Kedrov. Together with the young actor, Valery Nikolaev, Ksenia Alferova, Ivar Kalnynsh, Anatoly Zhuravlev, as well as Malcolm McDowell, Armand Assante, Rutger Hauer played.

“At first it was strange. Hollywood superstars Malcolm McDowell and Rutger Hauer are sitting next to me, a Uralmash guy, chewing cutlets. I kept thinking, how did I get here? After the conversation, everything smoothed out. I felt calm, as if we were neighbors with them in Beverly Hills. Just don’t think that I’m showing off ... ”, - says the actor.

Alexander Efimov is a talented and popular actor of Russian cinema and TV series, was born on January 15, 1980 in cold Yekaterinburg.

Childhood

Alexander hardly remembers his own father. His parents separated when the boy was barely two years old. But soon my mother got married again, and my stepfather managed to build a very beautiful relationship with him. warm relationship. In fact, it is Sasha who considers him a father and a close person.

From early childhood, the boy grew up restless. He preferred to spend most of his time in the yard and on the sports grounds to give vent to his irrepressible energy. Parents did not mind and gave it to different circles and sections.

What he just did not try until he got into a hockey club, where the future stars of Russian hockey Yashin, Khabibullin, Datsyuk and other talented guys were in the group with him. He already saw himself at the most prestigious competitions and planned a sporting future. But fate decreed otherwise.

The boy did not like the secondary school. And, although he studied as a solid middle peasant, in the senior classes the discipline began to limp a lot. He began to show his teenage character on the ice, for which he was immediately expelled from the team by the coach. A few months later, after repeated warnings, Sasha was expelled from school.

Trying not to let the boy break his own future, his mother persuaded him to go to drama school. They took a mischievous person there with great reluctance. But, since the mother was a respected person in the city and had connections in the Union of Cinematographers, they could not refuse her. Although the hooligan was given a probationary period in advance.

To the great surprise of his parents, and his own, too, Alexander became interested in acting. He began to do well, and very soon they even began to appoint him to the leading roles in school productions. Realizing that this is his chance for an interesting future, Sasha, after receiving a certificate, immediately goes to Moscow.

Career

And here he was lucky - on the first try he managed to get into the number of students of one of the best theater universities in the country - the Moscow Art Theater School. When reading the passage, he literally stunned the members of the selection committee with his naturalness and persuasiveness. Vanguard Leontiev became his mentor.

During training, he was in close contact with the students of the course, who immediately liked the young talent with his self-confidence and independence. Therefore, after passing the graduation performance, he invited the guy to his "Snuffbox". However, Alexander collaborated with other troupes. And in recent times most often appears on the stage of the Film Actor Theater.

Moreover, his film career was brighter and more rapid than theatrical. Already on last year training, he played a rather significant role in the military drama "In August 44th", where such stars as Yevgeny Mironov and Vladislav Galkin became his shooting partners.

The work turned out to be successful, and new invitations followed. In a few months, he played two small roles in the TV series "Turkish March" and another patriotic drama "Star".

And then the finest hour of the young actor came - after numerous tests, it was he who was approved for one of the leading roles in the melodramatic series "Two Fates". There he was able to fully reveal himself as a multifaceted artist, able to embody a psychologically complex character on the screen.

Literally a few days after the premiere, Alexander became the favorite of thousands of Russian women who empathized with the fate of the heroes of the tape. This immediately put him among the best Russian young actors, and job offers literally rained down.

By the way, the series turned out to be so successful that three years later the producers decided to shoot its continuation and again invited Alexander to the main role.

But during this time he has already managed to reincarnate in several other images. Moreover, the military theme became the leading one in Efimov's work. He played an army officer in the film Bless the Woman, a naval officer in the drama 72 Meters, a lieutenant in the historical novel Bayazet.

And in 2005, Alexander finally made his debut on the big screen as a test pilot. It was one of the first Russian large-scale militants "Mirror Wars", which told about the confrontation between the Russian Air Force and American intelligence. Moreover, the role of spies was played by quite successful Hollywood actors.

Unfortunately, the film failed. With a huge budget for those times of 10 million dollars at the box office, he managed to collect a little more than two. Moreover, its ideological side was also mercilessly defeated by critics, calling the film anti-Russian. But many noted good game actors. And the failure was attributed to an ill-conceived plot.

Currently, the actor plays more in the theater. In his filmography, there are already more than two dozen works. But now he chooses scripts very carefully so as not to take part in deliberately failed tapes. He believes that such failures have a negative impact on his acting career.

Personal life

From the very beginning of his career, Alexander decided that his personal life would never be the subject of rumors and gossip. Therefore, he carefully hides all the private facts of his biography. The journalists only managed to find out that he was successfully married, and his wife had nothing to do with the acting environment. Perhaps this is the secret of their family happiness.

Devoting himself to theater and cinema, Alexander did not forget about sports. For him, this is not only one of the ways to keep himself in excellent physical shape.

The actor believes that sports should always be present in a man's life, as this allows you to get rid of excess adrenaline without harm to loved ones and others. AT free time he still goes on the ice in an amateur team, swims, plays football.
