Popular actor Alexander Baluyev On December 6, he celebrated his 63rd birthday. And so the editorial board. "Site" Not only congratulates this talented person on the holiday, but also invites readers to remember his life and creative path. How did it happen that the son of a career soldier, who was supposed to continue the army dynasty, became one of the most popular actors in his country?



As already mentioned, Alexander Baluev’s father was a military man. The man was distinguished by rigor and difficult character, demanded that everyone at home listened to him and obeyed the first word. Alexander’s father had his own plans, because the head of the family wanted his son to follow in his footsteps.

However, Alexander’s life did not attract the military. Orders and statutes, which did not provide even the slightest freedom of action, bored the guy. So he quickly decided for himself that being a military man was not his way.

But in the end, choice It became theater. And all thanks to her mother, who loved to attend performances, and often took her son with her. Mysterious and bright theatrical life still attracted the guy, and he wanted to be a part of it.

However, after school immediately to enter the Shchukin school failed - ambitious guy failed the exams miserably. But he did not retreat, but prepared well and a year later he entered the Moscow Art Theater School. And he was an exemplary student and got along well with teachers.

And then began to work in the Moscow theater named after Yermolova. And such performances as “Second Year of Freedom” and “Caligula” made him a big name in theater circles.
