Ilyichev, Victor G.

Viktor Ilyichev was born on February 5, 1946 in Leningrad .

Engaged in the Theater of Youth Creativity (TYuT) at the Leningrad Palace of Pioneers (1959-1963) under the direction of Matvey Dubrovin . Later, he signed up and regularly attended the children's studio at the Lensovet Theater , where he played mostly character roles.

Having received a certificate of secondary education, Ilyichev, by that time already completely fascinated by the theater, entered the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography, where he learned the basics of performing art under the guidance of an outstanding theater director and teacher George Tovstonogov . In the fourth year of the institute, he played one of the main roles in the famous student play "Visible Song", which became a landmark for the generation of the 1960-1970s. After graduating from school in 1967, the actor was accepted into the troupe of the Leningrad Lenin Komsomol Theater , where he worked until 1973, after which he moved to the VF Komissarzhevskaya Academic Theater , on whose stage he performed for two years.

In 1977, the artist decided to change the stage to the set and became a film actor at the Lenfilm film studio. However, on the big screens Ilyichev made his debut as a student, playing the episodic, but memorable, role of an entrant in George Natanson's melodrama “ The Elder Sister ” with Tatiana Doronina in the lead role. This was followed by several more minor roles, and in his fifth film, the drama by Ilya Averbakh and Igor Maslennikov, “ Personal Life of Kuzyaev Valentin ”, Ilyichev successfully played the main role. Type Ilyichev - shy guy who climbs into all things, struggling with his shyness.

Soon the role of the actor was formed - the role of rustic, charming and modest guys. His characters were different: kind, mean, cowardly, clever - but always and everywhere they made the audience smile. As many film and theater critics have noted, Ilyichev is a brilliant supporting actor, whose appearance in the frame invariably makes the audience smile and a lot of positive emotions.
