To the Russian viewer, this mature handsome actor, who changed his surname in 2011, was remembered for his roles in the multi-part soap operas. Surprisingly, Alexander Ratnikov at first did not think about a career on the stage or on the set. In early childhood, he seriously thought about practicing football on a professional basis. Also, the young man did not exclude the possibility of becoming a famous musician. But fate brought its own corrections to his life, and today Ratnikov Alexander is a sought-after and talented actor who has received a profession in one of the prestigious theater universities. He is not at all disappointed that he chose the art of reincarnation.
Curriculum Vitae
Ratnikov Alexander was born in the Russian capital, and this happened on August 18, 1979. As already emphasized, the sphere of interests of the young man included sports and music. However, having matured, the young man somewhat cooled to football, but his parents insisted that the training continued.
Future lyceum Ratnikov Alexander in his youth did not hide his love for opera. The young man even graduated from the Gnesinka in vocals. It was thanks to the music that the young man developed a passion for the great art of reincarnation.
Studying acting
After the Gnesinsky College, Alexander Ratnikov, whose filmography currently has over three dozen works in the cinema, submits documents to the Moscow Art Theater School. Having successfully passed the exams, the young man enters the course of E. Kamenkovich. At 25, the young man became a graduate of the above university.
Search for yourself
Having received a diploma, aspiring actor Ratnikov Alexander suddenly doubted the correctness of the chosen profession. He was overcome for some time by a deep depression. The young man did not like what he should do, and he did not know how to deal with it.
Alexander came to the capital's churches of Melpomene, but without much zeal he tried to find a job. Seeing this attitude to the matter, the directors refused the young man. As a result, he decided to change the situation and went on vacation, where he managed to put his thoughts in order. Upon returning to Moscow, the young man manages to get into the troupe of the theater of Oleg Tabakov.
Work on stage
Of course, at the start, Alexander Ratnikov, whose photo at the beginning of his career was almost never published anywhere, was content with episodic roles. Tabakov invited him to take part in such productions as The Old Quarter (the image of the photographer), Psycho (the image of an alcoholic), Descendant (the image of Yulai). It was on the stage of the theater of the famous actor that the young man turned into a mature lyceum. Alexander Ratnikov, whose filmography is known to a huge number of viewers, worked with Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov until 2013.
Experts also praised the young man’s work in the performances of “Running” (the image of the station’s commandant) and “Overstocked barrel container” (the image of Ivan Kulachenko).
In 2006, Alexander Ratnikov was awarded the prize of the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper for his brilliantly played role in the production of The Story of the Seven Elevated.
Movie work
The doors to domestic cinema for the actor first opened in 2004. Director Alexey Mizgirev invited Alexander to play in the short film “Dismissal” (the role of Andryukha). Two years later, the young man was approved for an episodic role in the TV series National Treasure. After that, Mizgirev again offered work to Ratnikov, inviting him to the main role of trainee Dmitry Mysin in the multi-part film “The Trust Service”. As a result, the "cinematic" career of the actor also went uphill. What other works did the audience remember Alexander Ratnikov? He played the main roles in such films: “A House for Two”, “Above the City”, “I Will Show You Moscow”, “Sect”, “The Last Cordon” and others.
Film critics praise the actor’s work on the set, talking about Ratnikov’s charisma, insightful mind and charm. Many of the characters he played had these qualities: journalist Viktor Muratkin, security guard Andrei Kotelnikov, Pavel.
After meeting them, it becomes clear why the army of fans of Alexander Ratnikov is growing like a snowball. What is only the image of the investigator Samarin from the False Witness! Strong-willed and strong men have always been popular with the fairer sex. However, the actor’s talent is not limited to reincarnation as “heroes of our time”. Ratnikov is subject to other characters in the movie. In particular, we are talking about the role of Gosha in the film by Yulia Mazurova “Above the City”. This character appears before us as a reckless and infantile young man whom others only annoy.
Alexander Ratnikov is more than anybody else in demand in feature films. In 2010, director Sergei Govorukhin invited him to shoot the film "Land of People". It is noteworthy that in this film, where he appeared in the guise of a writer, Alexander's wife, actress Anna Taratorkina, also took part.
