That's why we will talk more about the biography of the actor Vitaly Solomin. Vitaly's life began in the city of Chita. It was there that the Solomin family lived when he was born on December 12, 1941. As we can see, his biography began in the first year of the war. According to the recollections of the actor, then there were terrible frosts. When Vitaly was sent for water, he always tried not to spill it, because his legs immediately crept to the puddles. But the actor still had no reason to complain. His biography was quite good. The guy was very fond of reading and spent the evenings sitting by the stove with a glass of tea. Perhaps this is a coincidence, but he simply adored Conan Doyle. Although, it is worth noting that in the imagination of Solomin, Watson did not draw the way he embodied this character on the screen.
Vitali's parents were professional musicians. They really wanted the boy to play the piano, only Vitali himself did not want it at all. In the end, parents gave up on their dreams and gave the guy the right to choose. And for Vitalik at that time the most interesting was sports. He was involved in almost all sections. What brought the boy a lot of fun. He had an excellent command of martial arts, but he could never beat people for no reason. Only when he was an adult man did he strike a man who very seriously offended one of Solomin's best friends. Vitaliy has always been a very fair man and never allowed to offend those whom he loved and respected.
Vitaly had an older brother, Yuri, also a well-known actor. Perhaps the choice of Vitali's profession was influenced by the fact that his brother went and entered the theater institute in Moscow. Vitalik also wanted to engage in acting like a brother. Well, in addition, he was always interested in cinema, and Vitali considered the profession of the actor very important and necessary. That's why Vitalik went to enter Shchepkinskoe College. His parents fully supported him, deciding that at least they should try, even if they are disappointed, rather than spend their entire lives at home. Solomin chose Shchepkinsky School not by accident. He simply did not know about any others. About Shchepkinsky School and the Maly Theater, which includes his graduates, the guy told his brother. By the way, it was the Small Theater that always remained a home for Solomin. He fell in love with him and always remained faithful. Vitali was able to easily enter Shchepkinskoe and finish it. The guy saw a man who can become a real actor. And he justified the hopes that were placed upon him. The young man began to play in plays, and his talent unfolded. Vitali played a lot of different roles. At first, of course, he was given small roles, but, with each played, they trusted more and more serious.
In addition, Solomin was also an excellent director. His first entreprise was the "Siren", in which he played with Udovichenko and Rozanova. It would seem that this was the first test, which could hardly be successful, because no one has canceled the proverb about the first pancake. However, everything turned out quite the opposite. Entreprise was sold out, the audience was satisfied and enthusiastic. Therefore, Solomin continued to put his entreprises, which enjoyed great success among the audience. He was able to make sure that plays in which participation was accepted by the minimum number of actors were interesting, rich, original and conceptual. Solomin had the gift to create some productions and to surprise spectators with new views and decisions.
If we talk about work in the cinema, then Solomin became famous before his borate. First he played in the episode, in the picture "Newton Street, House One". Then there were roles in "Elder Sister", "Chairman", "Women". But this was only the beginning of his popularity. But its peak came when we all became acquainted with the best Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson of all time. Although, it is worth noting that Solomin never considered Doyle a great writer. Yes, of course, he liked detectives, but, in his opinion, the actor could not fully reveal himself in this genre. He believed that the talent of a dramatic artist is disclosed only by such classics as Shakespeare, Chekhov, Griboyedov and other "pillars" of classical literature. But, anyway, the shooting in "Holmes" brought joy to Solomin. It was there that he found one of his closest friends - Vasily Livanov. Being friends on the screen, they became friends in life. In general, Solomin was quite a peculiar person.
He had a heavy, proprietary in some way, character. For example, he forbade his wife to appear for several years, although it was in "Sherlock Holmes" that he invited her to play a role in one of the stories. Solomin always had a very strong and strong-willed character. He could be stubborn, but he could not even notice someone. But at the same time his colleagues loved him and forgave him. He knew how to give people a holiday in the most unexpected moments. In addition, Solomin always amazed everyone with his talent. And he was respected even by those who were difficult to tolerate his character.
Another very popular role for Solomin was the role in the film "Winter Cherry". Although he was the complete opposite of his hero, Solomin undoubtedly managed to play it truthfully and sincerely.
Solomin until the last day worked in the theater, playing a variety of diverse roles. He also acted in films. He very much valued his family, although, in his own way, he was conservative. Solomin has two daughters and a grandson. He passed away very suddenly, on May 27, 2002. But, despite this, we will always remember him, because we know that only such can be the legendary doctor Watson.
