Sergey Makovetskiy

Sergey Makovetskiy was born in Kiev in 1958, the actor is “twin”, and his surname is the maiden name of his mother. The boy received his mother’s surname, because his father left her immediately after the birth of Sergei.

At school, Makovetsky’s teacher staged together with the students a production based on Ostrovsky’s play “The Forest” and asked Sergei to play the role of Neschastlivtsev. It was playing in a school play that Makovetsky decided that he would become an actor, although before “Les” he dreamed of being a pediatrician (in the summer on vacation he was often asked to sit with small children).
