The actor was almost kicked out in disgrace from filming.
Today Mikhail Boyarsky is a prominent figure in Russian cinema. And it’s hard to imagine that the famous actor could disappoint at least one director. Nevertheless, one day he was almost kicked out in disgrace from the set.
The painting “Dog in the Manger” was not the first for Boyarsky. And yet then he was just beginning his career. Celebrities had to work together with the famous stars of Soviet cinema. The young actor, who got the role of Teodoro, was very worried and almost lost his job.
Jan Fried was shocked by how Boyarsky showed himself in the first days of filming. The artist was shy in front of his eminent colleagues and could not pull himself together. The filmmaker was ready to give the actor a turn, but Margarita Terekhova intervened.
The actress convinced the director not to make hasty decisions and give Boyarsky a chance to rehabilitate himself. And the colleague did not disappoint the artist who vouched for him. Mikhail Sergeevich brilliantly coped with the role, and new proposals from the directors were not long in coming.
