Russian viewers know him well. Kot Anatoly Leonidovich acts in films a lot. The list of films in which he played has long exceeded a hundred.

How did it all start?

Anatoly was born in June 1973, in a large and friendly Belarusian family. He grew up with two older brothers who became soldiers, a sister who is a successful artist, and a younger sister who became an actress at the Minsk Puppet Theatre.

Passion for theater

Anatoly Kot became interested in theater very early. In the second grade, he participated in the school play "A Kitten Named Woof". Then he enrolled in a children's studio, played Kai in the fairy tale "The Snow Queen", beloved by all children. When the guy graduated from high school, the question of choosing a profession was not before him. Anatoly was sure that he must certainly become an actor. The stage attracted him. He could not even imagine himself in another profession. Quite naturally, he decided to enter the Academy of Arts in Minsk in the acting department.

The beginning of a creative life

After graduating from high school, Anatoly Kot did not work in some theater on a permanent basis. He took part in the performances of "Freestage", was involved in several performances of the Youth Theater, worked in the Puppet Theater, Theater-Studio of the Film Actor.

Germany

In the year 2000 Anatoly was invited to Germany to work in the play Orpheus and Eurydice. He became one of two actors-readers. The premiere took place in the opera house. Together with the actors, a male bass choir performed on stage. In addition, in the year 2004, German viewers saw him in the solo performance "Notes of a Madman" at the Takheles Theater. This work received positive reviews from German critics, and the audience was delighted with the work of an actor from Russia.

In 2005, Anatoly Kot was invited to work in Moscow, at the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater, where he serves to this day.

First movie experience

In 2001, the actor first tried his hand at cinema. I must say that he immediately got an interesting and bright role of an ophthalmologist in the melodrama "The Guide". This work begins his filmography. Anatoly Kot did not expect that after this role popularity would come to him. Real fame came to him after the role of Prince Drutsky in the historical film "Anastasia Drutskaya" (2003). In this tape, the actor brilliantly played the role of a man who was destined to experience a huge, all-consuming love, but you can’t live with it, you can only die with it …

This work has been highly acclaimed at several film festivals. In Belarus, in his homeland, he became more and more popular with each new role. In 2003, he was invited to several more films, fromwhich should be noted is a very ambiguous and even controversial military drama “Occupation. Mysteries directed by Andrey Kudinenko. In assessing this picture, "ambiguous" is the key word. The main thing that art should be directed to is missing in this picture - positive, desire and the ability to give hope. The film caused a lot of controversy, negative reviews, and, in the end, was banned from showing.

Gradually, the actor gained popularity in Russia. This happened after his work in the series "Soldiers". In this tape, he played a negative role - special officer Shkalina, but the viewer remembered the bright and realistic image he created.

Anatoly Kot: biography, personal life

The actor is lucky in life - he has a brilliant career, and besides, he is happy in his personal life. Anatoly Kot, whose photo you see in this article, registered his first marriage with the famous actress Yulia Vysotskaya. Not everyone knew then that this marriage was fictitious. Young people studied on the same course, and when Vysotskaya was offered a place in the troupe of the Yanka Kupala Theater, she needed Belarusian citizenship, which she did not have. And then her friend Anatoly came to the rescue. They formalized the union, and Yulia remained to work in Minsk. They are still friendly today, call each other, visit each other.

Anatoly met his real soul mate much later. She turned out to be a charming woman who had nothing to do with theater and cinema. Elena is a manager. The daughter Alice is growing up in the family. Today they all live in Moscow. Arriving atthe capital, Elena wanted to continue her career, but it turned out that everything she earned would have to be given to the nanny. Therefore, at the family council, it was decided that the wife would take care of her daughter and the house.

Hobbies
