Anatoly Vaisman, known to the audience as Anatoly Bely, was born in Ukraine, the town of Bratslav. From the very childhood he was an active and athletic child. For some time he was seriously engaged in acrobatics and reached the level of an international master of sports. Growing up, he began to use the acquired skills of controlling his body and movement while working in the theater.

In 1998 he managed to escape from a difficult situation. Learning that Oleg Menshikov is preparing a serious project, Anatoly came to the trials in "Partnership 814". It should be said that before this actor, together with his wife, took part in a skit in the House of Actor, where they showed a number - a parody of television advertising. There he noticed the artist Pavel Kaplevich and later told Menshikov about this talented actor. It turns out that Oleg Menshikov was already interested in them and the real meeting did not disappoint him at all.
