Ð Ð¸ÐºÐ¾Ð»Ð°Ì ÐµÐ²Ð¸Ñ‡ Ð›Ð¸Ð²Ð°Ì Ð½Ð¾Ð²; 8 May [O.S. 25 April] 1904
â€" 22 September 1972) was a Soviet theater and film actor and a
theatre director. People's Artist of the USSR (1948). He was a member
of the Moscow Art Theatre from 1924 through 1972.Livanov was born in
Moscow into a family of the well-known Russian actor Nikolai
Alexandrovich Livanov (1874â€"1949), a Volga Cossack from Simbirsk who
moved to Moscow and performed under a pseudonym of Izvolsky.When Boris
was 16, he ran away from home and joined the Red Army to fight
Basmachi in Turkestan, but soon returned to Moscow and enrolled in the
4th Studio of the Moscow Art Theatre to study acting. He graduated in
1924 and became a member of the theatrical troupe. He performed in
both dramatic and comedy roles; his expressive acting and wide range
of emotions soon turned him into one of the leading and most respected
actors. Among his notable roles were Nozdryov from Dead Souls, Chatsky
from Woe from Wit, Count Almaviva from The Marriage of Figaro, Vassily
Solyony from Three Sisters and others.Livanov first appeared in cinema
in 1924 as Morozko in the fairy tale adaptation of the same name. In
1927 he performed his first serious roles in two historical-revolution
films: Kastus Kalinovskiy and October: Ten Days That Shook the World.
During the 1930s he played Dubrovsky in the film version of Alexander
Pushkin's novel Dubrovsky and Dmitry Pozharsky in the Minin and
Pozharsky historical epic (he was awarded his first Stalin Prize for
this role), although his most famous performance of that time was
Mikhail Bocharov in the Baltic Deputy biographical movie based on the
life of Kliment Timiryazev (portrayed by Nikolay Cherkasov).
