Konstantin Plotnikov (Potty)

Challenged myself

Despite the fact that Konstantin Plotnikov never thought about an acting career, at the age of 24 he decided to conquer new heights. He was inspired to try himself on the stage by the graduation performance of the theater academy. So, Plotnikov first went to the preparatory courses of the acting department, and then entered the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts. At the same time, it cannot be said that he was on fire with the idea of ​​​​comprehending this profession, rather he wanted to test himself and experience a new experience. But he passed the entrance examinations and decided to get a second degree.

First invitation and first disappointment

So, the actor fell in love with theatrical activities and finally felt that he had found his calling. He received his first invitation during his studies. Plotnikov seriously prepared, trying to immerse himself in the background and motives of the character. Only now the role was episodic – literally for one cue. Of course, Plotnikov was disappointed, but not for long: working with director Roman Vasyanov in the drama Dorm brought the actor real pleasure.

During filming, he kept a diary of Gorshka

The actor has been familiar with the work of the King and the Jester group since early childhood, so he was especially glad to get the main role in a punk fairy tale. His pre-production included watching interviews, reading books by bassist Balu and listening to songs from his favorite bands, Mikhail Gorshenev. He even kept a diary of Pot, where he wrote down interesting facts from the life of a musician, trying to trace his internal changes.

Vlad Konoplev (Prince)

Father – friend or foe

As a child, little Vlad was very afraid of his strict father. He says without hesitation that in those years he considered his father an enemy – Konoplev Sr. was so complex and principled. But now they are very close: in his social networks, the actor admits that he considers his father his best friend and is very grateful to him for his faith and support.

Main role in student years

While studying at VGIK, Konoplev was offered the lead role in the detective series Alex the Fierce, based on real events during the Great Patriotic War. The actor faced a difficult task: Konoplev had to show his character through the passage of time – from a Soviet schoolboy to a tough executioner and a sadist. This picture brought fame to Konoplev: after the serial film, the artist was invited to play the main role in the thriller “My Big Secret”.

For a musical role – musical skill

In addition to juggling and driving, the actor also enjoys playing the guitar. And part of the process of training an actor at VGIK was vocals. Both skills came in handy for him to participate in the new Kinopoisk project “The King and the Jester”. Actors play concerts in frames for real: for this, the participants regularly visited the rep shop to unite and learn the songs of the group.

Vassa Bokova (Violinist Masha)

Music is serious

Unlike her teammates, Vassa Bokova has been professionally involved in music since childhood. She attended a vocal studio, played the balalaika, took private lessons in saxophone and guitar, and also independently mastered playing the piano. So learning the violin for her role in the series was not so scary for her. Last summer, the artist even released her debut album “Eternal-Honest” with atmospheric, ironic tracks in the indie pop genre.

Film and puppet theater actress

After studying at the Evstigneev Nizhny Novgorod Theater School, Vassa Bokova moved to the city on the Neva and began working at the Bolshoi Puppet Theater. She also does not leave her acting career. In her filmography, there are such projects as the series “Method”, “Nothing funny”, the dramedy “Far Close”, and now also the series “The King and the Jester”.

Among the tough boys

In the new series, Vassa Bokova got the role of Masha, a violinist who joined the band in the late 90s after recording an acoustic album. To understand the relationship of the heroine with other musicians, the artist turned to documentaries and was pleasantly surprised: all the participants treated Masha with care – they appreciated and protected her. Vassa Bokova felt the same, working on the set in a predominantly male team. But such a campaign was not new to her – from childhood, the actress finds a good common language with the boys.

Vera Volt (Agatha)

blogging

Vera Volt has become widely known for making humorous videos on social networks. Now her videos are gaining millions of views, which, of course, helped the girl’s acting talent. And although Vera Volt’s film roles are still minor, thanks to her blog, she is very often recognized on the street.

Wrote the script

In love with her profession and life, Vera Volt wrote the script for the youth web series “Lola-2” as a fourth-year student at the St. Petersburg University of Film and Television. For it, she received a State grant to shoot the pilot episode and played the main role in it.

A person who lives 100%

Vera Volt finds a lot in common with her character in the TV series “The King and the Jester”. She got the role of Agatha – the wife of Andrei “Prince” Knyazev. The brave and honest Agatha, according to the actress, is the person who gives herself completely to both friendly and romantic relationships.

In principle, she is a person who lives 100%, half measures are not about her, ”Vera Volt shared.

Valerie Zoidova (Anfisa)

To the theater with the last money

Valerie Zoidova’s craving for acting was not shared by her mother. She was categorically against entering even the best theater universities in the country. But the future actress was serious: she fled to the Sliver exams with the last money.

First experience

For the first time on the TV screen, the actress appeared two years ago: on the TNT channel in the prequel “Policeman from Rublyovka”. And despite the fact that the debutante got an episodic role in the series, a year later she began to be invited to such large projects as the TV series “Aunt Martha”.

Style icon

Sophisticated Valerie Zoidova always tries to look irresistible – even if it’s a trip to the grocery store. She carefully selects clothes, follows the latest trends and often experiments – what is her short haircut worth, which she shocked the whole family with. The actress draws inspiration from the luxurious Marilyn Monroe and elegant Renata Litvinova.
