As it turned out, this photo test by Nikolai Karachentsov caused a great interest among many. That's just in the image of the hero of the movie he is here? Ganja from the "Big Change" or Balagan from the "Golden Calf"? Vasya Vekshin from "The meeting place can not be changed" or a brick from the same movie? Or maybe Uri from “The Adventures of Electronics” or Volodya Busygin from “The Eldest Son”?
At least these were your most popular assumptions. And alas - they were wrong. But there were the right ones.
This photo test for the role of Athanasius Borschov in the film of George Danelia "Afonya"
But he was not approved for this role, as you all know perfectly well. And the reason for that was his corporate smile - according to rumors, the assistant director, after seeing Nikolai Petrovich’s role tests, said that the actors would have to do an overlay on her teeth, since such a smile such a girl as Katya Snegireva would not enchant
Who else auditioned for the role? Well, for example, Andrei Martynov
Vladimir Nosik (his Athos seemed too positive)
Semyon Morozov
And also Borislav Brondukov, Victor Proskurin, Vladimir Menshov, Boris Shcherbakov, Ivan Bortnik. George Burkov
In general, according to George Danelia, in this role he saw only three actors - Vladimir Vysotsky, Daniel Olbrykhsky or Leonid Kuravlev. He looked at the rest of the actors in the hope that he would see an actor who "opens his unexpected Athos." Well, I don’t need to tell about who Afonius played in the end. In Kuravleva, Danelia found the necessary balance of positive and negative, humor and seriousness, razdolbaystva and charm for this role.
