Dear visitor! Welcome to our site! Here you will learn about the life and works of famous actors and actresses of the world of cinema. Their ups and downs, hard work, and work on themselves, big love and small affairs - the fate of every artist is unique.

The profession of an actor is one of the oldest and most difficult professions in the history of

mankind. First actors include performers of ritual and ceremonial activities - shamans, priests.

In ancient Greece it was the most prestigious profession and in ancient Rome theater

performances enjoyed no more success than the fights of gladiators, and in medieval Europe

and in Russia earning for bread by acting skills was even dangerous for life. Mummery was

considered a demonic activity and was persecuted by Christian church. The acting profession has won

its prestige and popularity only in the 20th century.

The uniqueness of the actor's profession is in his instrument - it is the actor himself, his personality,

appearance, ability to reincarnate, to experience and convey to the viewers the inner world of his hero,

make everyone believe and empathize.
