When the first season of the series "Fizruk" was released 6 years ago, from the very first episodes it became one of the most rated projects of Russian television. If the audience already knew the actors who performed the main male roles from their previous works, then many saw the actresses for the first time. From debutantes, they immediately turned into real screen stars, and one of them did not even have an acting education - she was a video blogger! How the brightest actresses of the series look behind the scenes and what they do after their successful debut - further in the review.
Elena Muravyova
One of the most colorful heroines of the series was the head teacher of the school and the English teacher Elvira Petrovna performed by Elena Muravyova. She is called one of the most private modern actresses - she rarely appears in public and does not like to give interviews. Many viewers were sure that this role was one of the first in her filmography, but in fact she made her film debut 10 years before "Fizruk" and starred quite a lot.
Elena Muravyova dreamed of an acting profession since her youth, but she was very unsure of her own abilities and worried about her “non-cinematographic” appearance, which is why she did not dare to enter a theater university right after school. For a year she worked as an administrator in one of the capital's theaters, and after being involved in several performances, she decided to try her luck, but not in Moscow, but in St. Petersburg. At the age of 22, in 2004, Elena Muravyova graduated from SPbGATI and in the same year began acting in films and performing on the stage of the New Drama Theater in Moscow. Her first film works were episodes in TV shows, which did not bring her much success.
For 10 years, Elena Muravyova played more than 25 roles, but among them there was not a single main one. Most often, she was offered the subtle roles of nurses and teachers. The first resounding popularity came to her only at the age of 32, after filming in the series "Fizruk". The image she created turned out to be so colorful that for many viewers her Elvira Petrovna became one of their favorite characters. Thanks to this, in the new seasons of the series, the producers decided to allocate much more screen time to her heroine. In this role, she appeared on screens for 4 years, in all seasons of "Fizruk".
During this time, Elena Muravyova has turned from an inconspicuous supporting actress into one of the brightest, extraordinary, successful and sought-after modern movie stars. Today she no longer has a reason to doubt her own acting abilities or worry about her non-standard beauty - since then she has played dozens of diverse roles, including in the series "Hotel Eleon", "Bloody Lady", "Ivanovs-Ivanovs", "Others", "Fitness", "Magomayev" and others. In 2019 alone, her filmography was replenished with 13 new works!
The actress never spoke about her personal life. It is only known that she is not married and has no children. She does not like to attend social events and prefers to spend her free time in solitude. However, much more than any interviews and spectacular appearances on the red carpet, her hobbies reveal about the actress: for several years she has been actively involved in charity work and is a member of the Hospital Clowns organization, arranging theatrical performances for young patients.
Polina Grents
For this actress, who played the main character, Sasha Mamaeva, the Fizruk TV series became a real winning lottery ticket, because the 20-year-old debutante had neither acting education nor filming experience - before that she was a video blogger! As a teenager, Polina attended acting courses and participated in school performances, but her parents were categorically against her admission to a theater university - they considered the acting profession frivolous. Therefore, she entered the Faculty of Sociology, and at the same time was engaged in her favorite hobby - filming a video blog. Once a photographer came to their theater studio to take some pictures of the filing cabinet of the film studio, and soon Polina was invited to audition for the series "Fizruk". To her incredible surprise, Polina Grents got the lead role.
Polina claims that Dmitry Nagiyev played a decisive role in her fate - allegedly it was thanks to him that she became an actress, because of all the applicants for the role of Sasha Mamaeva, he chose her, because of her natural modesty, naturalness, naivety and simplicity of the girl. She really had a lot in common with her heroine, although she herself considers herself much more open and sociable. And thanks to the fact that she kept a video blog, Polina felt confident in front of the camera. For this role, she gained 15 kg, but did not consider it a big sacrifice.
After "Fizruk" was released on the screens, Polina Grents, as they say, "woke up famous." But at the same time, nationwide popularity did not in any way affect the further development of her acting career - after all, she was not a professional actress. After "Fizruk" Polina starred in the TV series "Mommy" and in three short films, and her filmography is currently limited to these works. In 2017, Polina Grents tried her hand at being a TV presenter - she hosted the show “To be a blogger”, and in 2020 she participated in the show “Bachelor”, where she confessed that she had not yet found her love.
Anastasia Panina
Anastasia Panina, who played the main role in the series - the teacher of the Russian language and literature Tatyana Alexandrovna, with whom the hero of Dmitry Nagiyev was in love, did not immediately come to the acting profession. As a child, she went in for sports and received the title of candidate for master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics. Later, she said that this hobby developed in her capacity for work and dedication, which allowed her to achieve her goals.
Panina became an actress thanks to a fluke: once one of her friends saw an advertisement for a casting in the TV series "Poor Nastya" and invited the girl to try her hand. Out of thousands of applicants, 30 people were selected, who were given the opportunity to take three-month courses in acting. Anastasia was among them. Classes were conducted by teachers of the Moscow Art Theater School. They noticed creativity in Panina and recommended her to enter a theater university. She passed the entrance tests successfully, and refused to shoot in "Poor Nastya" for the sake of studying.
From the first year, Panina began performing on the stage of the Moscow Drama Theater. A. Pushkin and to act in episodic roles in films. At the age of 23, the actress played her first major role in the film "The Last Confession", and after graduating from the Moscow Art Theater School in 2007, she received several leading roles in the cinema. By the time of filming in "Fizruk" in the filmography of the 31-year-old actress there were already about 40 works, she was already quite famous, and thanks to this series, a new wave of popularity came to her.
The audience admired their harmonious duet with Dmitry Nagiyev, not suspecting that Anastasia Panina starred in this series with her husband, actor Vladimir Zherebtsov, who played the groom of her heroine. About "Fizruk" the actress said: "". After "Fizruk" the actress received several new proposals every year.
