Michael Svetin birthday

The path to glory
Strong impact on Michael Sveta had dumb cinema. Actor believes that the general view, pause, plastic can express more than words. That's why Sveta's idol was and still is Charlie Chaplin. Those eyes ... They can all read.
After graduating from the Kiev School of Music in oboe Michael Svetin went to the army. After serving, and firmly resolved that will come only in the theater, he went to Moscow.
His path to glory was long and difficult. Having pronounced data comedian Michael Svetin, however, was not accepted in any of the universities of Moscow theater - it was called incompetent, then referred to a speech defect, then a small increase.



Great entertainer ...
What to do? Michael Svetin considered himself quite adult - 22, all the same! In addition was the direct, stubborn and even arrogant. And when he saw a poster of "Tours of the theater Raikin", decided to seek a meeting with himself a great entertainer. Sveta went to the hotel "Moscow", telephoned Raikin in the room. No. So called six days in a row. Then ... a miracle! Is Raikin, black-haired, gray lock the front. Picture! Blocked his way: "I want to work for you!" And he replied something like "at least three times whether you are talented, you can not take the state - only 12 people!" Svetin departed not and begged the same Raikin, he listened to it. Maestro appointment at the Mayakovsky Theater.
Prior to that, Michael Svetin in the theater never had a chance to visit. But stood up, folded the handles on the abdomen (see that entertainers are so stacked) and I started to read! Tried so hard, so grimacing, so wanted to make him laugh! Then came Raikin: "I like you, I take you to the theater students!" And so it was Mikhail Svetin actor in the support of Raikin. Practical school, it is perhaps better than any GITISa. There is no doubt, but ... Very soon there Sveta miserably expelled: the liberty to specify how to play.



Then there were the provincial stage in the Kamyshin Petropavlovsk (North Kazakhstan), Irkutsk, Kemerovo. Finally - Penza. Once here toured Kyiv Operetta Theater, actor and settled there.

Svetin pleaded: "For God's sake, do not expel, I - from Kiev, want to live and work at home».
It turned out, everything is very simple: it turned out that Sveta - Sveta's not, but ... His name was already stated in the "Sevastopol waltz". It did not help - need to remove the actor with the role and eliminate all of the troupe, so you do not say that in the theater, they say, made a branch of the synagogue.
And the thing is that the real name of the actor was Holtzman. The fact that Sveta's now such a name, blame his daughter - Svetlana. After her birth, and decided to become an actor Svetin.
