Biography

Nikolay Smorchkov was born on August 9, 1930 in the village of Ivankovo, Gavrilovo-Posadsky District, in a large family peasant family named Gavril Ivanovich and Pelageya Matveyevna[2]. In 1933, fleeing Collectivization, the family moved to the village of Orgtrud, which was not far from Vladimir (now the district of the city)[1]. Being still in the 7th grade, the future actor caught a movie and decided to become a film actor.

After graduation Smorchkov came to Moscow and entered the VGIK (course of Sergei Gerasimov and Tamara Makarova), where he had to deal specially to remove his accenting accent. While still in his second year in 1951, he played his first role in Gerasimov's film The Rural Doctor. He graduated from VGIK in 1953 with a red diploma. After graduating from the institute, the actor was enrolled in the theater-studio of the film actor and the film studio Mosfilm, where he worked for almost forty years. On the stage of the theater he played in the play The Evening of Old Vaudevilles, went with him on tour, but then completely switched to cinema.

He starred in more than 160 films[1][3].

gollark: Ah, not GPT-3 then but a vaguely similar thing, fascinating.
gollark: What? This is how I usually speak. Or write. Whatever.
gollark: Relatedly, since GPT-3 has apparently now entered the public consciousness due to, of all things, greentexts, I reserve the right to post all my ML memes here.
gollark: We really should replace the entire concept of networking with RFC 1149-compliant pigeons.
