Almost a quarter of a century ago, the domestic viewer saw the picture for the first time, which was destined to become a cult. We are talking about “Peculiarities of the national hunt.” The popularity of the tape was incredible, and fans dismantled many phrases from this film into quotes, which have now become popular. Also, this picture brought wide fame to the actors who were lucky enough to work on its creation. Many film fans are interested in how the creative and personal destinies of the artists who played in “Peculiarities of the National Hunt” developed. Someone’s career after participating in this film went uphill, and someone in the memory of the audience remained a character from this cult picture.
10 Sergey Kupriyanov
In “Features of the National Hunt” Kupriyanov played a friend of the Finn Raivo – Evgeny Kachalov. At the moment, the actor is doing a lot of voice acting for films: this is how the characters of Ben Stiller, Carrie Graham, and others speak in his voice. At present, the artist practically does not appear on the big screen.
9. Zoya Buryak and Saara Hedlund
After filming in the cult film, Buryak participated in dozens of film and television projects (“Plot”, “Crime and Punishment”, “We are from the Future”, “Checkpoint”, Mechanical Suite, etc.). She remains a sought-after actress to this day.
Hedlund is the ex-wife of Ville Haapasalo. Eight years after the completion of filming in “Peculiarities of the National Hunt”, she and her husband starred in the Finnish film “Friday”. But, unfortunately, in 2010 the actors divorced, and today almost nothing is known about Saara’s creative activity.
8. Victor Bychkov
In the late 90s and early 2000s, the actor appeared on the screen mainly in comedic images. However, in 2002 he played in the sensational drama “Cuckoo”. For this work, Bychkov was awarded the Golden Eagle Prize. In the same year, the actor was invited to host the children’s program “Good night, kids.” The unusual role for the artist, who was remembered by many in the role of the huntsman Kuzmich, was liked by both the young viewers of the program and their parents. Bychkov devoted 10 years to this project.
The actor periodically pleases the audience with his appearance in films and on television. He played in the television series “Kitchen”, in the domestic thriller, based on the works of Gogol, “Viy”, and last year the artist took part in the filming of the film “Reserve”.
7. Sergei Gusinsky
3 years after the completion of filming, Gusinsky received the main role in the film by Alexander Rogozhkin “Checkpoint”.
In 2015, Gusinsky had an accident on the set of one of the films in which he took part as a sound engineer. By an absurd accident, the actor fell under the wheels of a car. As a result of the incident, Gusinsky received a skull injury and leg fractures. He demanded the organizers of the filming process to compensate for the damage, but the director of that ill-fated film said that Gusinsky himself was to blame for what happened.
6. Alexander Rogozhkin
On account of Rogozhkin – about thirty feature films and television series, including “Cuckoo”, “Checkpoint” and other sensational films.
In 2012, the film “Arms” was released on television, which is currently the last work of the director. The completion of Rogozhkin’s creative activity is largely due to the tragic death of his wife in 2011 – she committed suicide by throwing herself from the 14th floor of a high-rise building. The likely motives for such an act are called creative unfulfillment or the presence of a serious illness. In addition, the woman’s decision to take her own life could be influenced by her mother’s severe illness.
5. Ville Haapasalo
This work brought to that moment a young unknown Finnish actor widely known in Russia. After that, he appeared in such films as “Operation Happy New Year”, “Deadly Force”, etc. Basically, these were comedic images, but in 2002 the same Rogozhkin gave Haapasalo the opportunity to demonstrate his dramatic talent in the film “Cuckoo”. Here he played the role of a Finnish sniper, who had to stay under the same roof with the enemy for some time. The picture received many awards and positive reviews from critics, and Haapasalo was awarded the State Prize.
In the 2010s, Ville often starred in television series and commercials. In early XNUMX, he created a television project dedicated to traveling around Russia, designed for a Finnish audience.
4. Alexey Buldakov
In addition to participating in other parts of this comedy, Buldakov played in Rogozhkin’s film “Checkpoint”, where the actor also had to embody the image of a general on the screen. However, this hero was not at all like the usual image of a good-natured warrior from Rogozhkin’s films.
Buldakov often took part in the films of Mikhail Kokshenov, which were not very successful with the audience and were subjected to merciless criticism.
3. Sergey Russkin
At the beginning of the 46s, the actor had almost no significant work either in film or on television. However, now Russkin is a fairly popular artist. He was remembered by the audience in the films “Alien District”, “Leningrad XNUMX”, “Cuba”, “Doctor Richter”, etc.
2. Semen Strugachev
This role went to the artist almost immediately, because according to the script, his character was supposed to have a long nose. Interestingly, this character could be embodied by Alexander Lykov, known for his work in the TV series “Streets of Broken Lanterns”, but during the filming he was filming in another project.
The image of Lyova Soloveichik became very recognizable precisely thanks to the virtuoso play of Strugachev, who starred in all parts of this popular comedy. Critics and viewers consider him a bright comedian, gifted with incredible musical abilities (possession of musical instruments, vocals, etc.).
He is also known to viewers for his work in the television series “Deadly Force”. There he masterfully played the role of the charismatic criminologist Semyon.
1. Boris Cherdyntsev
Wide fame came to the actor after working in the film “Streets of Broken Lights”. It is noteworthy that the artist decided to play under his real name. Therefore, the audience remembered him as Major Boris Cherdyntsev.
The artist also took part in the filming of the new season of the sensational television series. In addition, he played roles in the films “Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, “Clinic”, “Short Breath”, “Crime and Punishment”.
