Today the name of this actor is unlikely anyone will rememberfrom the environment of school youth. But three decades ago, almost every teenager knew him. It is safe to say that Alyosha Fomkin became famous and became famous throughout the country thanks to one brilliantly played role. It was he who played the schoolboy Kohl Gerasimov in the adventure-science fiction film “Guest from the Future”, directed by Pavel Arsenov back in 1984. In fact, Alyosha Fomkin after this film was to become a sought-after actor. But he could not take place in this profession ...
Alyosha Fomkin was born on August 30, 1966years in an ordinary family (place of birth - the city of Moscow). He went to a regular school, and his interest in amateur art activity awakened in his early childhood. Being a first grader, Alyosha Fomkin attended theater circles.
Однажды он принял участие в конкурсе чтецов и took a prize in it. After some time, the “promising” boy was invited to the screen tests of the film “Effigy”, which Rolan Bykov directed in 1983. But, despite the fact that for Alexei they were unsuccessful, fate still gave him a brilliant chance to start an acting career.
As already emphasized, creative biographyAlyosha Fomkin is tragic, and in this sense she is similar to the biographies of many talented actors of the past. He had to go through fire, water, and copper pipes. However, the copper pipes in this list would have to be put in the first place. Fame and fame suddenly turned the young man's head. A springboard for them served as a humorous newsreel "Yeralash." Albeit unsuccessful, but shooting in the "Dummy" was still noticed.
Issue called "Auction", where Fomkinmasterfully sold his test work for a rating of "5", became for the young actor the first victory in the cinema. Being already a well-known actor, Aleksey will once again act in “Jumble” - the release will be called “It is not good to look at”.
And after participating in a humorous film magazine forFomkin breaks the finest hour. Director Pavel Arsenov, having watched the release of “Yeralash”, in which the talented boy starred, will offer one of the main roles in the fantasy “Guest from the Future”. Well, who would refuse such an offer? And began the hard work on the set, which lasted almost three years. Most of the episodes were filmed in Moscow, although I had to go to Gagra. In general, Alexei had little time to rest, in the intervals between filming in “The Guest from the Future” he managed to work in “Yeralash”. The film about the girl Alice had a tremendous success with the young audience. The numerous army of fans of the film was filled up with letters from the director. Natasha Guseva (the performer of the role of Alice) and Alyosha Fomkin (the performer of the role of Kolya Gerasimov) became famous throughout the country. It seemed that success in the acting profession they already guaranteed.
But the paradox is that neither Natasha norAlyosha did not achieve great heights in the field of mummery. Yes, Fomkin will be shot in the cinema, but the role in the film “Reason” will be of the second plan, and for the viewer it will remain unnoticed.
In 1986, the novice actor will become a graduateschools. It is not hard to guess that because of work in the cinema, Alyosha Fomkin, a photo of whom every second teenager knew, practically did not devote time to studying. As a result, he received a certificate in which it was written in black and white that he “listened” to 10 classes.
After some time, the young man will be invitedparticipate in the filming of the film "In their own land" (1987). Alexey will respond to the proposal of director Igor Apasyan. But again he gets a minor role. And again, the viewer leaves it without much attention.
After filming with Apasian, the directors were in no hurryto provide work for a young actor. Alexey became depressed: he could not accept that he had become useless to anyone on the set. But he managed to gather the will into a fist and escape from gloomy thoughts. Fomkin decides to join the ranks of the Soviet army. He is sent to Irkutsk Angarsk. But even there, experiencing all the military service, he does not stop practicing in amateur art activities.
After demobilization, Alexei will come to settleto work in Gorky Moscow Art Theater. He was accepted into the troupe, but the young man often ignored the rules of labor discipline. A few months later, for systematic absenteeism, Fomkin was fired from the theater.
And again because of the lack of demand for actingthe profession of a young man began to overcome depression. He changed jobs in the Melpomene temple to work as a painter. But in this capacity, Alexey did not work long. Gradually, he became addicted to drugs and eventually lost himself. The young man decided to start life from scratch and go to some provincial and sparsely populated area.
So Alex was in the Vladimir region.He settled in the small village of Bezvodnoye, where he then loved to come every summer. The actor lived alone. There were no special conditions for comfort: the nearest store was located in a neighboring village. After some time, Fomkin got a job as a miller. Disorder in life gradually faded away.
Once friends invited Alexey to a party inVladimir, where he met a girl Elena. After some time, the actor moves to the regional center and marries Lena. Newlyweds began to live in the apartment of the spouse.
In 1996, on the eve of the Day of the Soviet Army,Alexey and his wife were invited to visit friends - to celebrate such an important event. At night there was a fire. Everyone was able to escape, but not Alyosha Fomkin. The cause of death is carbon monoxide poisoning. When the apartment was burning, he was sleeping peacefully. Such is the fate of Alesha Fomkin.
