The artist escaped from the sinking ship in time.
The series “Matchmakers” was released at the end of the 2000s. The last season of the film was released in 2021. Millions of spectators loved watching the battles between the hillbillies Budko and the urban intellectuals Kovalevs. The secondary characters were no less colorful. In particular, Mityai performed by Nikolai Dobrynin.
Over the course of several years, the actor got pretty tired of portraying the klutz neighbor. Mityai was constantly mocked by other heroes. Dobrynin admitted in an interview that he dreamed of developing the character, but Budko’s godfather was “a loser, a stupid henpecked man and a drunk,” and remained so. Therefore, the artist decided to leave the project.
True, in the end, Nikolai Dobrynin nevertheless appeared in the seventh season, embodying the image of the character who set his teeth on edge for the last time. Unlike his colleague, Anatoly Vasiliev, who played Yuri Anatolyevich, did not give up his principles, leaving the film back in 2010.
