In one of the newspaper articles about the Belarusian actor Ivan Matskevich, a certain author called him an adventurer in the good sense of the word: he was not afraid, they say, to go “to conquer the capital” being not a young, family man, and an already accomplished actor of the Brest Theater.

In one of the newspaper articles about the Belarusian actor Ivan Matskevich, a certain author called him an adventurer in the good sense of the word: he was not afraid, they say, to go “to conquer the capital” being not a young, family man, and an already accomplished actor of the Brest Theater. But, in fact, there is nothing particularly extravagant in this action. Every year many and not only young ambitious actors come to conquer the capital, but also already accomplished professionals who realized that they have no further opportunities for self-realization. The same thing happened with Ivan Matskevich.
The actor was born on April 9, 1947 in the Grodny region, after graduation, he submitted documents to the seafaring school. Due to illness, he did not enter the entrance exams. He worked in a construction plant. To try to enter the theater seduced a friend who wandered the theater. Let's go. Matskevich was accepted, my friend was not. Fortune often builds such grimaces. So Ivan Matskevich graduated from the Belarusian Theatre Art Institute, worked at the Brest Theatre. About those times he remembers now with tenderness: a wonderful team, beautiful roles.
Then he first got on the set. Vyacheslav Nikiforov was looking for an actor for a role in the film “Bread smells of gunpowder”. The assistant director came to Brest. A lot of people came to the casting. They chose Mackiewicz. Then there was the role of the White Guard in the movie “Hate”. But perhaps most of all, the actor appreciates his work in the film “War”. There he played General Pavlov, a man who was unjustly accused and shot. In addition, one of Matskevich's favorite roles is a KGB general in the
Film "Over a Century" . In perestroika times, the hero of the picture could not endure the ongoing transformation, and committed suicide.
Ivan Matskevich is known as one of the most popular actors of the Gorky National Academic Theatre. /
