Antipenko, Grigory Alexandrovich

Born October 10, 1974 in a family of engineers in Moscow . As a child, he lived on Mosfilmovskaya Street , opposite the movie studio of the same name, where his mother worked as a process engineer. From an early age he was fond of biology, from the age of 8 he studied encyclopedias , remembering the names of animals in Latin, and dreamed of traveling. Reptiles, and especially snakes, are the most beloved representatives of the fauna .

After leaving school, he enters the pharmaceutical school as a pharmacist. However, the profession does not work long, tired of the monotony. Grigory sought himself in various directions: he completed accounting courses and preparatory courses at a law school, in a short time managed to work at an advertising agency, social worker, manager, and also a manufacturer of facsimile copies (copies of museum exhibits) on Mosfilm: “It was incredibly interesting period, earned a penny, literally saved on food, ”says Gregory about this period of his life. But he quickly realized that all this wasn’t his: “I believe that every person should look for himself, as they say, to the last. It’s better to look for yourself and not find, than to calm down on something mediocre and, as a result, not to receive any pleasure from life and work. ”

Even in his youth, he studied at the Svecha theater studio at the Savyolovsky District Palace of Culture, but did not seriously think about the acting profession until fate brought Grigory to Satyricon at age 22, where he worked for 2 years as a scene assembler. After reviewing many performances and seeing the theatrical cuisine from the inside, Gregory gradually came to the conclusion that you need to look for yourself in a creative environment. In parallel with this work, he began to engage in a preparatory group at the Moscow Art Theater School-Studio , trying his hand as an actor. And in 1999 he entered the Schukin School , the workshop of Rodion Ovchinnikov . Already in the fourth year, Antipenko made his film debut, starring in the episode of the series “ Code of Honor ”, for some time he played in the “Class Theater”, the Mayakovsky Theater . After graduating from college in 2003 he was accepted into the troupe of the theater " Et cetera ", where he was involved in the performances: "Paris Romance", "Secrets of Aunt Melkin." For his role in the play “Parisian Romance” in the theater “Et Cetera” in 2004, Antipenko was nominated for the annual theater award “Moscow Debuts”. He participated in the performances: "Fine people", "Finicky horses", "Old son with enormous wings", "Don Quixote of La Mancha."

At the same time, Gregory began to act in films successfully. Despite the fact that his hero Plato Amelin in the series “The Talisman of Love” is a negative character, the actor has the first fans of his work. But general fame comes during the filming of the series “ Don't Be Born Beautiful, ” where he plays the president of the Zimaletto fashion house, Andrei Zhdanov. Gregory and his hero have nothing in common, nevertheless, he played his role brilliantly, having studied and worked out all the aspects of his character. According to the actor, this role became for him a real school of excellence: “I needed to understand my character, understand a person who has no problems. Therefore, I was interested in “making” this hero. ” In 2006, for the role of Andrei Zhdanov, Grigory was awarded the Ukrainian national TV Star Award as the best television actor of the year.

After the filming of “Do Not Be Born Beautiful”, Antipenko begins to act in films: in the ironic detective “A Man Without a Pistol”, in the comedy “Luna-Odessa”, in the historical film “Conspiracy”, the melodrama “Separator”, and the drama “Angels Cried That Tonight” ", For which at the Sergei Gerasimov Festival" To Love a Man "in Chelyabinsk, Gregory was awarded the prize for" Best Actor ".

The main hobby is mountaineering , but not as a sport, but as a way of perceiving life, which helps to realize oneself and think about eternal values. He visited the Caucasus , Tien Shan, Altai and other notable places. For the first time, in 1998, he made his first ascent alone in the Caucasus in order to test himself and overcome his own fears: “I want to return from there, but not in order to leave, but to share. Because emotions overwhelm. You break out of there and you want to kiss people, because they are all wonderful. You forgive them in advance all their sins, anger or any shortcomings. The problems of the hustle and bustle that exist in the human world are immeasurably small compared with the sensation that appears there, ”Grigory shares in an interview with the program“ Who is It ”by Vadim Wernick. In 2010, he conquered Khan-Tengri peak (the northern Tien Shan Tengritag ridge) (7,070 m), in 2011 he conquered Lenin peak ( Pamir ) (7,134 m), in 2012 - Korzhenevskaya peak ( Pamir ) (7,105 m).
