Rebel, actor, host, director, producer - who is this person really? Constantly masked, like most actors, or sincere - pure, like a tear? Is it worth looking into a person’s soul, trying out the secret meaning of words, if you can look at his actions, at his specific deeds?
A bit about life before the screen
Igor Ugolnikov came to this world in December 1962 in a city that was not yet called non-rubber, in Moscow. From childhood, he was distinguished by his lack of discipline and absenteeism. And if a person with this character has a living mind, where should he go? Naturally, in sports or on the stage. Therefore, the young man chose both hockey and a theater studio. Once he played the actor of a kindergarten - the evil and terrible gray wolf Igorka in the comedy "Gentlemen of Fortune", but this information is not in the credits. Say that Igor Ugolnikov from infancy dreamed of a big stage, spotlights and the like, because this period of biography is hidden from prying eyes. It is only known that with his current wife Alla he is familiar from the school bench and from there, from school childhood, his nickname is Corner.
Theater and actor: to
First, Igor Ugolnikov became an actor. For this, he graduated from GITIS, although he studied at that time as a director, which will be useful in his future career. He became an actor. He worked for four years in the first theater, named after Gogol, and then there were roles in the performances of various theaters, including the art, the very same, named after Chekhov. In 1990, he didn’t even wake up famous, but his acting talent was appreciated after the release of the movie “Walk like that, shoot like that …”. In the same year, the film "Chernov" was released, where his role was much smaller.
Time of glory
But it was in 1990 that the famous Igor Ugolnikov was born. The program, invented in conjunction with a team of authors, was called "Oba-on!" and aired for the first time in November 1990. This was probably the most anticipated broadcast of his time. It was hard to live, people wanted to laugh, the old comedians and satirists were too cautious in their allegories, and the new young generation, not embarrassed, ridiculed many of the problems of their time. The audience was waiting for the appearance of the transfer screen saver - an apple in a black and white cell and the hosts, dressed in the same black and white cell on a black and white checkered background. Yes, there were several authors, there were several leading ones, and even the director was not alone, but the program rested on almost one person and was remembered by many precisely as Igor Ugolnikov's humorous program. In the creative team, of course, there are disagreements. Perhaps Igor crushed everyone with his authority. Be that as it may, over time the first authors and presenters left the program, and their last broadcast, “Oba-na!” I saw in December 1995. That is, I have been on the air for a little over five years.
During and after
Along with the broadcasts of the program, which brought him fame, Igor Ugolnikov played in the theater until 1992, periodically starred in films. It was during this period that one of his best roles in the comedy "Shirley-Myrli" falls. After the stellar program was closed, Oba-on! Corner show ”, the series“ Doctor Corner ”, but they did not gain fame. The program “Good evening with Igor Ugolnikov” went on the air for the same five years, but successfully closed in 2002.
