Honored Artist of Russia, Boris Smolkin was born on March 2, 1948 in the city of Leningrad, in an intelligent family. Boris studied well and easily at school, read a lot, loved exact sciences, won several All-Union Chemistry Olympiads, played professional chess. But still his profession, as they would say in the old days, was acting.
Having studied for a start as a computer programmer, Boris Grigorievich twice unsuccessfully stormed the dramatic department of LGITMIK, and for the third time decided to show himself from a rather advantageous side - to sing. Smolkin’s voice and performance were so good that he was accepted to the Department of Musical Comedy at the Leningrad Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinematography.
Boris Grigorievich graduated successfully and in 1972 entered the Theater of Music Comedy, where he played all the famous operettas - from "Krechinsky's Wedding" to "Truffaldino", becoming a truly mature master.
When in the eighties Leningrad was covered by the "wave" of KVN, Smolkin headed the theater team of the city, which included three Andrey - Urgant, Krasko, Maximov - and Arkady Koval. Brilliant humor and imagination allowed the magnificent “five” to win more often than vice versa.
At that time, the audience knew Boris Smolkin for the films “Krechinsky’s Wedding” (Raspleuev), “The New Year’s Adventures of Masha and Viti” (Lesovichok), the characters of the films “Cranberries in Sugar”, “About Freaks and People”, but the actor came to wild popularity along with the role of the butler in the film.
TV series "My Fair Nanny" , incomparable dialogues with Zhanna Arkadyevna, nanny Vika and host - producer Shatalin.
Success in personal life to Boris Grigorievich also came not immediately. Six years Smolkin lived in marriage with the actress of the Alexandrinsky Theatre and broke up with her, taking his son Volodya, who was then six years old. The second time the actor tried his luck already on the half-century "borderline" - noting his anniversary, married the beautiful Svetlana and became a father for the second time. Smolkin Jr. is called Gleb. /
