A brutal man is about him. Although the first role of Sergei Makhovikov was diametrically opposite - he played an innocent young man.
And as a child he was almost a puny, because he was born in 1963 in one of the suburbs of Leningrad, which had the fame of "dysfunctional", as they would say now. Since then, Sergei, according to him, has remained in the habit of having his own opinion on everything, and this has often helped in life.
Today it is difficult to describe this wonderful person in one word, because he is a theater actor, a film actor, a director, a screenwriter, a presenter, a musician, a singer, and an excellent organizer. The creative biography is very rich.
Sergey got his character and indefatigable diligence from his kind, which he is very proud of, and in moments of rest he loves to remember his grandfathers, grandmothers and parents. And also his "concerts", which he gave from the age of four in front of guests, summer residents and on city streets. He portrayed artists popular at that time, not suspecting that he himself would one day go on stage and become famous.
After school, Sergei entered a military school, specializing in "navigator", then transferred to the missile department of a military university, but realized that he could not live without a theater, and soon became a student at LGITMiK, while studying directing. In general, it seems that Makhovikov studied all his life - greedily and a lot, and immediately put the theory into practice.
Theatrical career of Sergei Makhovikov
From the second year of the university he worked in the Leningrad theaters, then organized the theater studio "Twelve", studied in parallel again, and in 1989 left for Khabarovsk to stage performances in the regional drama theater as a director.
In 1992-93, he served in the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, and since 1994 he became a famous author and performer of songs, travels with concerts to hot spots where soldiers need words of encouragement and good songs.
For his active civic and life position, Sergei Makhovikov received awards: the "Patriot of Russia" medal in 2013 and the "Participant of the military operation in Syria" medal in 2016. The artist still has a lot of various medals and certificates, recognition of his merits occupy more than one page on his official website. And in 2018, the actor received the title "Honored Artist of the Russian Federation", and deservedly so.
Sergey Makhovikov in the cinema
After the first film "Simple-minded" by Yevgeny Ginzburg, the actor was noticed, and he began to actively act in films. The mid-90s and the Turetsky's March TV series also turned out to be especially fruitful.
It is difficult to list all the awards that Sergei Makhovikov received for his work: a prize for the best male role, for the best detective film, prizes of all-Russian and international film festivals. And that's not all, because a career in theater, cinema and on stage continues.
Personal life of Sergei Makhovikov
Sergei, according to some critics, always somehow stood out from the general mass of contemporary actors with his behavior. So in his personal life, everything is not the same as with most creative people: he has been together with his wife Larisa Shakhvorostova since 1995. As we met on the set of "The Innocent", we have not parted since then.
They have an adult daughter, Sasha, who was born in 2002 and followed in the footsteps of her parents: she is already acting in films with her mother and father, playing the piano and singing. The friendly artistic trio makes a great contribution to Russian cinema.
