As a child, Jan Yurievich Tsapnik (15.08.1968) was torn between music lessons (playing the violin) and handball sports. Although, by his own admission, tired terribly, such hardening was beneficial - in the acting profession, which Jan inherited from his father (People's Artist of Russia Yuri Tsapnik), there are no indulgences.

Jan was born in Irkutsk, his early years passed in Chelyabinsk, where his parents moved, and he went to study at the Sverdlovsk Theatre Institute. His first role in the movie got quite early, playing Gosha in the film directed by Mikhail Ershov “Matyushenko promised to be silent”.

A pause in education and career Tsapnik was taken while serving in the army: the brave artist served in the reconnaissance battalion of the Airborne Forces, visited Afghanistan, Germany and Poland, repeatedly parachuted. In 1989, Jan was demobilized and came to Leningrad - just like that, and as a result, thanks to the advice of a friend, transferred to the Leningrad Theatre University for the course of Professor V.V. Petrov.

Graduating from the Theatre Academy, eight years of work in the Academic Bolshoi Drama Theatre named after G.A. Tovstonogov - only after 2000 Tsapnik began to appear regularly in films, and if in relation to theatrical work this may be wrong, then for a wide audience - quite the opposite. One of the most famous works of the actor is the veterinarian Venya. Series "Witchcraft Love" , and before that there were "Brigade", "Bandit Petersburg", the film "Under the shower of bullets" and other memorable roles.

Demanded in his profession, a popular actor of theater and cinema, Jan Yurievich found long-awaited happiness in his personal life. Good luck brought him an alliance with his third wife, Galina, an orientalist (the first two spouses of Jan were actresses). In 2001, Jan and Galina had a daughter Elizabeth. /
