Actor Andrei Valentinovich Mezulis was born on March 13, 1968 in Novoaltaisk.
As a child, Andrei dreamed of a scene when other boys from the yard hoped to become pilots and cosmonauts. From an early age, he was drawn to art, but the people around him did not believe in him as a future artist. Andrei, being a schoolboy, repeatedly asked for amateur activity, but he was stubbornly refused, justifying his refusals by the fact that he had absolutely no artistic data. The little boy with protruding ears, haircut under the “chubby”, like a nasty duckling, did not find a response in the souls of those who could understand him, calm him down, help him.
However, all this did not leave in the soul of Andrei Mezhulis resentment, the disbelief of others in his acting abilities did not discourage the desire of the boy to devote his life to creativity.
After working a year in the Youth Theatre, Andrei was called up to serve in the ranks of the Soviet Army. After being injured, he returned to work in the Theatre and began to seriously and stubbornly prepare for admission to Moscow theater universities. The first two attempts were unsuccessful for Mezhulis, but the childhood dream was stronger than himself: on the third time Andrei became a student of GITIS (Paul Osipovich Chomsky course).
Andrei paid special zeal and perseverance to his studies at VGIKA: he read a lot, conscientiously attended classes, took additional lessons.
In 1994, after graduating from GITIS, Mezulis accepted an invitation to join the troupe of the Mossovet Theater. The first works of Andrey Mezhulis were roles in the plays “School of Wives”, where he played the role of Oras, “School of defaulters”, “Game”, “Moscow Nest”, “Mother Courage and her children”, “Devil’s Apprentice”, “Twelfth Night” and others.
Very quickly, the audience recognized and loved the talented actor. The liveliness of his play, unpredictable instant transformation into the image of another hero, a kind smile magnetically attracted the viewer to the beloved artist. Andrey, in addition, sings beautifully. Mezhulis talentedly demonstrates his vocal data in the play “Silver Age”, magically performing ancient romances in it.
The beginning of the film career of Andrei Mezulis took place in 2000. His first, big and serious role was work in the historical series S. Druzhinina.
"Secrets of palace coups" where he played Karl Holsteinski. Very often, the film heroes of Mezhulis are completely opposite in their character, the image of theatrical heroes.
In the track record of the roles played by Mezhulis there are wonderful paintings: “Black Goddess”, “My General”, “Nobody knows about sex”, “Hunting for raisins”, “Runaways” and many others.
Andrey Mezulis is married and has four children. /
