Any life experience is valuable. This axiom can certainly be applied to everyone, and Russian actor Mikhail Porechenkov is no exception. In his case, his failed military career has considerable value, thanks to which today he plays the role of the military with full knowledge.
Porechenkov was born in March 1962. His father was a military sailor, his mother worked as a civil engineer. Misha was often sent to the Pskov region to her grandmother, where there were mowing, fishing, hiking in the forest for mushrooms and berries. The irrepressible boyish fantasy Porechenkov quenched, reading volume after volume of the book from the series "Adventure Library".
When his father was sent to Gdansk in the 70s, the whole family had to move to Poland, where Mikhail studied at a boarding school in Warsaw until 1986. Then he enters the Tallinn Higher Military-Political School, from which, according to some sources, he leaves himself, and according to some, he is expelled for systematic violation of discipline, literally ten days before graduation. And although the deputy politician from Porechenkov did not work out, now he plays the role of patriots of his country, is well versed in weapons and seriously engaged in sports and wrestling.
After the expulsion was followed by construction, then - work in the baguette workshop, after that - admission to VGIK, from which he was expelled again. In 1991, Porechenkov again enters, this time in LGITMIK, which ends in 1996.
Theatrical debut of Mikhail took place in the diploma performance of the director
Mikhail Trukhin . The first official place of work of the actor in a new capacity - the theater "on the Hook Canal", then was the theater named after Lensovet. Here Porechenkov was busy in the performances “Wojciek”, “King, Lady, Jack”, “Kaligula”, “Brother Rabbit in the Wild West”, “Bedbug”, “Ghost Lady”, “Death of Tarelkin”. For participation in his debut play "Waiting for Godot", Porechenkov in 1996 was awarded the prize "Golden Mask".
Mass popularity of the actor brought cinema, after in 1994 he played the role of Kirill in the film E. Yasan.
"The wheel of love" . Four years later, another successful role followed - Alexei Nikolaev in the detective-adventure series.
"National Security Agent" . The success of the "agent" was due not only to the play of the wonderful actor and the soft humor that squandered in each scene, but also to the fact that by that time the Russian audience had grown tired of Western militants. Over the years of filming the series, Porechenkov has gained not only popular popularity, but also the stamp of an actor-lover and a military servant. In the same years, Porechenkov continued to play on the stage (in 2003 he moved to work in the Art Theater), here his repertoire is strikingly different from the cinema: waiter Dima (Duck Hunt), Poloniy (Hamlet), Myshlaevsky (White Guard).
Porechenkov is an honored artist of Russia and winner of the awards "Golden Sofit", "Constellation", named after V. Strzhelchik.
Porechenkov married for the second time, his wife Olga is a professional painter. Mikhail and Olga have a son Mikhail and a daughter Maria. In his first marriage, Porechenkov had a daughter Varvara. And in recent times in the media there were reports that Porechenkov has an illegitimate son Vladimir, who was born when the actor studied in Tallinn. /
