Each actor has his own role - tragic, comedian, lyrical hero. Sergei Martinson (6.02.1899) was considered a comedian. He was compared abroad to Charlie Chaplin. Friends of the actors said that Martinson can do everything. As he moved around the stage, there was a feeling of dancing, he did not sing, but it was like music.

Each actor has his own role - tragic, comedian, lyrical hero. Sergei Martinson (6.02.1899) was considered a comedian. He was compared abroad to Charlie Chaplin. Friends of the actors said that Martinson can do everything. As he moved around the stage, there was a feeling of dancing, he did not sing, but it was like music.
When you watch the work of a high-class professional, it seems as if everything turns out easily and simply, of course. Martinson was very natural, as if he wasn’t on stage, but was living the life he was portraying. And without putting any effort into it. But his colleagues knew that all this was the result of long and meticulous work, every step, every gesture, every word, was thought out and rehearsed for a long time.
Martinson played very different roles. Quite a great distance between Duremar from the tale of the "Golden Key", and Hitler
film "The New Adventures of Schweik" But in both cases, the actor’s play was absolutely reliable, and his characters were very vital, although often grotesquely caricatured.
Martinson played in many theaters, he was gladly filmed by such masters of directing as Vsevolod Pudovkin, Yakov Protazanov, Sergey Yutkevich, Boris Barnet, Grigory Roshal. Sergey Martinson also did a lot of voicing cartoons: the characters of “Cat House” and “Red Riding Hood”, “Wild Swans” and “Thumbelina” spoke in the voice of Martinson.
In the last years of his life, the actor suffered from memory loss. He was on the stage until almost the last day. The text was suffled into an earpiece, and he improvised on stage, but improvised so that he caused constant applause.
Sergey Martinson died at the age of 85. /
