Makhno in Hollywood?

I heard that Igor Livanov was filmed in Hollywood and, of course, could not help but ask about it. It turned out - so, but not quite.

I was not in Hollywood - Hollywood came to me - laughing, said Lebanon. - I arrived in Moscow director Steve Carver, which I've heard a lot, whose films are well known: "An eye for an eye" with Chuck Norris, "Lone Wolf" and many others. When the man of whom you know that it takes such films comes acquainted with you and even offers you a role - it is a small miracle. And maybe a big miracle. So I got in the film "Wolves". Prodyuserstva was German, and no one knows where this film is gone. And before that I worked too, in the English language in the film "Chernobyl last warning." It starred Jon Voight and other American stars of the first magnitude.

What to say? Organized system, inside which a pleasure to be. Because there everyone knows his place, no one is chasing and everyone enjoyed doing their job. ... We do not inherent. Do you have a place where you can sit down, have a cup of coffee - and no one should ask anything, to remind, to insinuate themselves offer. We have the only possible when human relationships are formed when reached a certain height, is unthinkable without a deep respect.

"The empire is under attack" - one of the last Russian historical detective, where everything is based on the confrontation of the tsarist police detective (Igor Livanov) terrorists and revolutionaries that wanted to destroy the empire to the ground, and then ... Hero Livanov, Paul Putilov headed the department for combating Terrorism Police Department beginning of the century in St. Petersburg, that does not prevent him from penetrating to perform the song. Think, Lebanon for the first time singing on the screen? I, too, was mistaken.

• It was such a happy moment, - says Igor - when I learned that I will perform the song Isaac Schwartz, my favorite composer. It was in the first series. Romances and I perform at concerts, for which I am invited. And the first time I sang on the screen in the 87th year, when Tamara Lisician the film "Mysterious heir" in which my parner had Innocent Smoktunovskij, Ingeborg Dapkunayte and other remarkable actors.

Parents Igor Livanov engaged in a professional puppet theater in Kiev, where he and his brother were born Aristarchus. But Igor lived for many years in the minds of the Soviet spectator son Vasily Livanov, the most charming of Sherlock Holmes of all time - the namesake of our hero.

In fact, I more often mistaken for the son of Aristarchus Livanov - laughing Igor. The only film where we were photographed together - "Thirtieth destroy", and that is where viewers perceive us as father and son.
In Kiev, the parents settled after the war. Their love began at the hospital where his father was Aristarchus and Igor Livanov and where they rescued the wounded their mother, lieutenant of medical service.
Actor Igor began by accident.

• Contrary to the wishes of parents, - said Livanov, - in the fifth grade, I went to a sports school and up to the tenth grade fond of boxing very seriously, going to enter the Institute of Physical Education, but in the theater before the exams - I applied to documents and entered. Mom and dad were relieved when I started waving their fists in the movie.

And he znaimalsya taekwondo, and also not in vain. And he served in the Marines in the Pacific.

• This elite troops - says the actor - and we were not allowed hazing. Here I was schooled. I know how to shoot, know the skills of martial arts, but most importantly - know how to mobilize non-standard situations.

Why I did not go in the footsteps of their parents? Puppet theater did not attract me, he faceless. Anyway Theater me then less interested than the movie. I do not want to go that way, what were my parents, and those who went brother. Only his own, very special. Maybe it's a certain rivalry ... I take everything all evolved differently. He is somewhere in the fifth class already knew it would be an actor. And it really turned out the way he wanted. With me it was much confused ...

Igor Livanov considers himself lucky man and grateful for all that he released: just work, and work your favorite, there are conditions for a decent human life, a nice little man has a son ...

• I am the father ... bothersome - says the actor. - Sometimes, I scold his son, but not much ... Stalking. Actually, I am a liberal Pope. Here he sits and nods his head, saying, I agree ....
