The actor easily coped with the task with an asterisk.
Sergei Prokhanov brilliantly embodied Kesha Chetvergova in the film “Mustachioed Nyan”. Before getting this role, the actor had to go through a very difficult test, which his other colleagues recall with genuine horror.
The protagonist of the tape had to not only sing and play the guitar, but also get along with young children. And if it was not difficult to find an actor with musical talent, then director Vladimir Grammatikov had big problems with the second one.
The filmmaker selected 18 kids for filming the tape, whom he called the real “barmaley”. The casting for the role of the mustachioed nanny consisted in the fact that the actor needed to find contact with small artists, whom the director allowed to do whatever they wanted with his “victim”. And they did, so those who wanted to embody the main character got goosebumps from these screen tests.
And only Prokhanov did not perceive what was happening as a humiliation – next to the children he felt like a fish in water. Seeing how the actor skillfully copes with young robbers, the director, without thinking twice, approved him for the role. “I saw what I was looking for: the loving eyes of the children who looked at him!” the director later recalled.
