Evgeny Leonov - favorite actor George Danelia



It is no secret that any director has actors with whom he prefers to work. The Gaidai-Nikulin bundle was noticeable to everyone, Ryazanov-Myagkov. Sometimes these ligaments are torn and new ones appear. And sometimes they go through almost the entire filmography. It was such a person - Daneliya - Leonov (Photo by Anatoly Kovtun / TASS photo chronicle)


In fact, take a look at the number of their joint works: "Thirty-three", "Do not Cry", "Completely Lost", "Afonya", "Mimino", "Autumn Marathon", "Tears Drip", "Kin-dza-dza "," Passport "," Nastya ". It’s also worth adding “Gentlemen of Fortune”, which is also largely Danelian film. Total 11 films out. And note, in a row. Danelia shot Leonov in all his films from the moment of the first collaboration and until the death of Yevgeny Pavlovich. Yes, not always in the lead roles. But his presence in his picture became obligatory.

And they met when Georgiy Nikolayevich was looking for a replacement for Yuri Nikulin in the film “Thirty-three” (yes, Travkin was originally supposed to play Nikulin, but could not because of the circus tour). And when meeting an actor, the director seemed a goof and miser - Leonov immediately requested payment in the first category. True, having familiarized himself with the script, Yevgeny Pavlovich agreed to play at least for free. And since then their tandem has been unbreakable.

Danelia Leonov liked his understanding of the actors and his critical attitude to his own work. Danelia Yevgeny Pavlovich considered almost a co-director and even his talisman
