To understand the full force of his talent, you need to look not only to his work in film, where he played mostly comedic roles, but also in the theater. For me it is - the best performer of Cyrano de Bergerac.

As a child Frunzik was helpless, everyone laughed at him, he was thin, with a big nose, but it turned out that God gave him a great acting talent. All his life he had lived so - was funny and sad at the same time human. And the USSR loved his talent.

Frunzik wished death, he rushed to her, he dreamed about her, brutally putting out a vital instincts. It is not the time or ruined passion for wine and tobacco ... No, he deliberately went to his death, unable to survive the illness of his wife and son - a great family mountain.

... Actor from start to finish. We, colleagues, standing in the wings, watched and waited, what's new today he will do in the role. We knew he would be sure to improvise, and it was a brilliant improvisation. It's amazing what he had resourcefulness. He could laugh the whole room. I remember his performances, which began Homeric laughter in the auditorium, and the laughter lasted the whole performance. Generally Frunzik was an amazing man - the day started with a song and was happy. On the other hand, it has always lived feeling of some tragedy ...

... A man comes into this world with an armful of sticks and his task - to burn it to the end so that it does not turn into ashes. Unfortunately, Frunzik could not burn it all, and there was a lot of fire. We lost a lot of heat Frunzik.

I understand why the world is ruled by mediocrity. They do not drink in the morning and begin to engage in their careers [8].

This comedian, somewhere in his second term is tragic. These were Yevgeny Leonov, Andrei Mironov, Yuri Nikulin, and of course, Frunzik Mkrtchyan ... Armenians have the phrase: "I'll take your pain." It is the highest expression of humanity. To me this is largely left on Frunzik.
