Childhood in Zamoskvorechye.
Of course, perhaps, it is worth starting with the date of birth of Michael. After all, this starts a biography of any person. Kokshenov's birthday is the nineteenth of September 1936. When the boy was born, Mikhail's family lived in Moscow. It was there that his biography began and continued. Kokshenov's childhood was held in Zamoskvorechye. Michael to this day adores this area of Moscow. Although, he is not the same as before. There is no house where Mikhail grew up, and the movement became much stronger. But, nevertheless, Kokshenov likes to go there to remember his childhood, the way he looked at the Kremlin, and this, in a way, was a mystery to him. Therefore, for Michael, Zamoskvorechye, is still a special place. Although, there he manages to travel not so often, as he would have wished.
Become an actor to persuade friends.
If we talk about how the actor's path began Kokshenova, then, it is worth noting that it was quite long and complicated. Initially, the guy did not intend to enter the theater school. Instead, he went to the Moscow Industrial Technical School. The guy liked the specialty of the builder-road worker, he studied excellent marks and did not think about what could be someone else. But friends from his court believed that Misha has an acting talent. Therefore, they persuaded him for a long time to at least try themselves in this field. In the end, Mikhail could not resist and, nevertheless, succumbed to their persuasion. He went to the Shchukin school, not particularly confident that he could do it. But, to Mikhail's surprise and the joy of his friends, the guy was accepted. He graduated from the school in 1965 and went to perfect his acting skills on the stage of the Academic Theater named after V. Mayakovsky, and then moved to the Moscow Theater of Miniatures.
The way in the cinema.
The way to the cinema at Kokshenov was long and complicated. At first he was given only episodic roles. He played in a lot of episodes, but, practically no one really memorized it. Although Kokshenov always looked quite impressive, and played well too. But, for some reason, at that time, fate was not favorable to him and the young actor had to be satisfied with what is. But, Michael never intended to give up. After all, if he chose such a destiny and such a profession, then it was necessary to go to the end. Therefore, the actor did not drop his hands and continued to withdraw, hoping that he would be noticed and given a worthwhile role. In the end, it happened. And it happened in 1973. Then Kokshenov just got a permanent job in the Central Film Studio. The received work helped him to start constantly to be removed. And two years later, the audience saw a wonderful comedy by Leonid Gaidai, which was called "It can not be! ". It is thanks to this film, Kokshenov, finally became a recognizable and popular actor. After him, Kokshenov began to offer roles in other films, and, soon, he performed Sergunka Ratishchev in the historical adventure comedy "A Tale of how Tsar Peter therap had married". After this film, Kokshenov got the names of Pashin in the almanac "On the street a commode was driven."
In the filmography of Kokshenov there is even a musical film. This is a picture of Leonid Kvinikhidze "June 31", which is a fantastic musical. In this film, there were surprisingly beautiful scenery and costumes for that time. Kokshenov got the role of the Jester. And actor Zeldin played the role of King. In the tandem, they looked amazingly beautiful and interesting, and their energy and charisma just struck people.
Kokshenov had his own peculiar role for films. He played village guys, silly bullies and more respectful. But, these roles turned out to be so cheerful and bright that Kokshenov, in fact, had nothing to complain about. Moreover, his characters were loved and remembered. For example, we all know such roles as Stepan in Sportloto 82 or Sashka Hodos in White Dew. Not gone unnoticed and the role of Pryakhin in "The most charming and attractive."
Kokshenov repeatedly said that in life he is completely different from his characters. But, at the same time, he loves them very much, because such characters are always interesting. Whatever the time, or political device, there are always such funny characters on which people like to watch in films. Also, it is worth noting that Kokshenov played in a large number of military paintings. He played the role of foreman, corporal, major. True, most of the roles were comedic, but most of all Kokshenov loves his Kurykin in the film "Alexander the Little One". He believes that this character perfectly reflects all the qualities of a real warrior and soldier who can and wants to defend his Motherland.
I found love in the queue for bananas.
If we talk about the personal life of the actor, then he absolutely casually found his fate, which is called Elena. Once, the actor decided to buy himself a banana, but, at that time, this product was still deficit. The queue in front of the counter was very large, but the actor decided to go ahead. Of course, they started shouting at him and he felt ashamed. But then he saw a pretty girl at the very beginning of the line and politely asked her to take a couple of kilograms of fruit. That's how his acquaintance with his future wife took place. Elena was then nineteen years old. She immediately fell in love with Michael and is still with him. Now the wife Kokshenova is working as an assistant director for the selection of actors. By the way, Kokshenov is not only an actor, but also a director, and very good. Although, after all, it is worth noting that as an actor he is simply genius, and as a director - he is talented enough.
Kokshenov is removed until today. It can be seen in many modern Russian comedies. And, like dozens of years ago, this man continues to shine with his talent, sparkling humor and charisma.
