Vladimir Menshov, the director of the film "Love and Pigeons" admitted that he did not initially know how he sees the main character - Vasi Kuzyakin. Therefore, on the samples for the film were invited about a dozen actors, completely different and externally, and in the role
At first he invited Boris Smorchkov, who had previously played husband Antonina in his previous film "Moscow does not believe in tears"
By the way, Alexander Fatushin, who played hockey player Gurin in the same film, even took offense at Men'shov, that he did not invite him to try it. Fatyushin believed that this was his role
But Menchov was looking. Not convincing seemed to him the trials of Viktor Bortsov
Nikolai Lavrov
Vadim Nikitin
Anatoly Skoryakin
Vladimir Myschkina
I auditioned for the role of Vasya and Sergei Yursky, who eventually played Uncle Mitya in this film
Among the invited to the samples was Alexander Mikhailov. But in the fact that he would be suitable for this role, Menchov believed least of all. High, athletic, intelligent - well, what kind of Kuzyakin! Menshov refused to Mikhailov. It did not even come to trial. But something then caught the director in the actor. He twice again invited him to the samples and also twice sent back with a refusal. For the fourth time, the invited Mikhailov himself invited Men'shov to show how he sees the protagonist, how he feels it.
And it should be noted that Mikhailov Siberians, from a small Trans-Baikal settlement, and in his childhood was a pigeon. He showed Men'shov the image of a simple village peasant, which in his village was a lot. And then Menshov sighed with relief: "That's what he is, Vasya!"
