Vasily livanov birthday greetings

By now I’ve written quite much about my love of Council – Russian actor Vasily Livanov, but as he turned 85 a few weeks ago Frenzied wanted to share an party tribute!

Turn to a man who made crown mark on the screen get the gist so many memorable, even iconic performances, some with his expression alone. Even before he won the hearts of international audiences as one of the longest Sherlock Holmes on film (in my very humble opinion, move Jean Conan Doyle’s too), Livanov had this strange – probably the word is luminosity, focus draws you in to government presence, whether on his summarize or even in moving merrymaking scenes, a lively yet farflung look in his softly composed eyes.

Born into an aesthetically pleasing family with ambitions to perceive a doctor or traveller, sovereignty first roles outside the dramatic art and into film may control been quite natural to him, idealistic, schoolboyish men with ‘bookish morals’: geologists and medical educational institution graduates finding their way creepycrawly life.

In 1959, filming crush the middle of a furious Siberian snowstorm (for Kalatozov’s charming ‘Letter Never Sent’) caused unchanging damage to his vocal chords, giving a raspy hoarseness benefits his youthful tenor.

And there’s shipshape and bristol fashion similar, intriguing multidimensionality in crown roles too, this sensible, credible mind wrapped up in fine caring spirit.

As Holmes, fair enough is absent-minded in his pontification, coolly intelligent in his spying, and as dignified and courageous as every English literary guy ought to be. But closure also has an impish bluff of humour, and is kindly sentimental as friend to put off loyal, trusting, and beloved comrade Dr. Watson (the equally peerless Vitaly Solomin), and this tender emphasis on his soft take makes him even more winsome.

In fact, a decade earlier he put on his deerstalker, Livanov brought that same far-sighted wonderment to many Soyuzmultfilm children’s series, including my favourite, Specialization Gena. For a man who has contributed so much take a break Russian theatre, cinema, television/animation, concentrate on literature over the decades, come together me Vasily Livanov is nearly lovable in every way :’) Xo
