Saraikin Viktor Viktorovich was born on April 6, 1959 in the Ural city of Magnitogorsk. His exact nationality is unknown. Both parents were deaf and dumb, but each of them acquired this disease.

And his father, in his youth trying to help the family, worked part-time with hunters: he went to the swamps and collected the carcasses of the shot game. Due to the specifics of the activity, the guy became seriously ill and soon became deaf. Later, he stopped talking as well, since he did not have the opportunity to hear himself.

Vitya, fortunately, avoided such diseases, because he could not inherit them from relatives. However, in his own way, he suffered from the illness of his parents - the married couple were unable to provide their son with full upbringing and attention. In addition, their hometown was at that time a "terrible" place - prisoners who worked on construction sites were exiled to Magnitogorsk. And the area in which the boy grew up was considered criminal.

During his school years, Saraikin Jr. got a friend - a young teacher named Alexander. It was under his influence that the future artist became interested in music and literature, began to take figure skating lessons, and most importantly, he became a student of the drama studio at the Palace of Pioneers. There, the young man finally realized that he wanted to become an actor.

At any free moment, he ran to local cinemas to evaluate a new motion picture. He earned money for tickets on his own - he primed canvases and washed away old inscriptions, thereby preparing a place for fresh posters. Even then, he fantasized that one day his name would also appear on one of the movie posters.

Having received a certificate of secondary education, Victor did not think for a long time about in which direction to move on. He chose not even to consider theater schools, which are located in provincial cities. The guy dreamed of living and studying in the capital, so he did everything possible to leave Magnitogorsk. He was very much inspired by the collection of postcards with photos of Soviet artists, which he had collected since childhood. On each of them there was a mention of the fact that celebrities were educated at the Shchukin School or at VGIK.

Having moved to Moscow, Victor successfully passed the entrance exams at GITIS and became a student of the course, which trained actors for work in the Theater of the Young Spectator. But this did not upset him much, since the young man attended classes and a parallel course (which was taught by Konstantin Raikin and Oleg Tabakov).

Among the students of this stream were many future celebrities of Russian cinema and theater, such as Elena Mayorova, Igor Nefedov, Marysya Shimanskaya, Nina Nizheradze, who later started an affair with Viktor and became his wife.

The future successful actor defended his diploma in 1980. Almost immediately after that, the Ukrainian actor Pavel Morozenko invited him to work at the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. However, Saraikin's career in this place ended after 5 days - he was denied a place, since he did not have a capital registration. Then the guy moved to Kiev with his wife to her parents and got a job at the Drama and Comedy Theater, located on the left bank of the Dnieper. At the same time, the young man's citizenship remained Russian.

Victor played his first significant role in a movie in the dramatic film "The Last Game", because earlier he played only in short films. In the film, he reincarnated as a laboratory assistant, nicknamed Balagur, who was investigating the death of his friend, a talented tennis player and young scientist Olenich Stanislav.

The aspiring artist, who worked for some time in the theater, received a summons to the army by mail. In an interview, Saraikin said that it was the military service that taught him discipline and tempered his character. This subsequently greatly helped the man in building an acting career.

Demobilization made it possible for the novice actor to re-enter labor service at the Drama Theater. However, after a while, conflicts with the chief director became regular, because of which Victor could not find a job. For many years, he did not manage to get a role even in the extras. For a man with a lot of ambition, this was especially unbearable.

Because of professional failures, Saraikin began to turn to the bottle. The support of his beloved wife helped the man finally not get drunk, she preferred to wait patiently until Victor wants to return to a sober life, instead of scolding him. The woman tried with all her might to convince her husband that in addition to the theatrical stage there is also a film set, and once she was able to get through to him.

Later, the actor mentioned that literally one day he realized how much Nina Nizheradze was right. Especially considering that he already had some film experience and a good education. After that Saraikin forgot about alcohol. Now his main interests are music, books, travel and training in the gym.

In the early 90s, luck smiled at the beginning film actor. He played several interesting characters, among which was Styopa in the drama "The Afghan", whom Victor later named one of his favorite works. He also starred as a colleague of the main character Sergei in the film directed by Anatoly Mateshko entitled "Woman for All". After the first success, photos with Viktor Saraikin began to appear on the pages of glossy publications.

Over time, the situation began to change for the better and in the theater in which the actor served - he began to offer new roles. In the mid-90s, Victor and his wife Nina moved to the Theater. Lesia Ukrainka. The new scene brought good luck to the artist, job offers began to pour in like a cornucopia. First, he played in the play "Student Love", later played the role of Don Juan in "Captured by Passions", the husband of one of the heroines in "The Leaning Tower of Pisa", Joseph Serfes in "School of Scandal" and many others.

Around the same period, the actor was fortunate enough to take part in the filming of the Chinese version of the popular film How the Steel Was Tempered. He played a character named Artem Korchagin, who is Pavka's brother. In Ukraine and Russia this film remained unknown, but in China it gained incredible popularity. After that, the name of Viktor Viktorovich regularly appeared on the pages of newspapers.

At the beginning of the new millennium, the artist's filmography was replenished with one most interesting work - the role of a scoundrel and a real sly Zheka, who is a bosom friend of Arthurchik's pimp in the successful TV series "Birthday of Bourgeois - 2".

Not everyone knows, but in the process of preparatory work before filming the 1st season of "Bourgeois" Saraykin was casting for the main role - Bourgeois, which was eventually performed by actor Valery Nikolaev. In the 2nd season, Victor dreamed of reincarnating into one of the negative characters - the traitor-policeman Movenko. However, he was again unlucky, the role went to Andrei Panin.

The creators of the series offered the artist to play only in a small episode, which contained a couple of pages of text. But Saraikin did not lose heart and, together with Dmitry Shevchenko, who played Arturchik, expanded the script, thereby greatly increasing his role. Thus, Zheka appeared on the television screen in 7 episodes, from 9th to 15th.

Having worked on the site of "Bourgeois Birthday - 2", the man interested domestic directors, who began to invite him to their projects. Within a short period of time, Victor began filming a lot and often. He preferred not to give up either minor or major roles.

At the same time, films and serials were distinguished by a variety of genres: in his track record were comedies, and melodramas, and action films. The actor played a driver named Sergei Kostyuchenko in the series "Liquidation", Lieutenant Sudzilovsky in "Detective Putilin", Herman Goering in "Counter-game", FSB officer Savostyanov in "Dragon Syndrome".

In 2016, the man starred in the Ukrainian television series "Threads of Fate", which tells the story of two sisters who were separated by life on different sides after the death of their parents. Mila Sivatskaya, Olesya Zhurakovskaya, Evgenia Rozanova and many others also took part in the project.

For his creative biography, Viktor Saraikin went through the fear of oblivion, a long and vain expectation of at least some work, thanks to which he perfectly felt the price of fame. Now a man knows for sure that even in the most difficult situation one should not give up and indulge in a dull mood - in this case, luck will certainly turn its face.

Viktor Viktorovich is happy in his personal life with his colleague, a successful theater and film actress Nina Nizheradze, who is 4 years older than her husband. Young people met at GITIS when both were students.

It's so cold ...

For a long time, the young man did not dare to approach the inaccessible beauty, gathered courage only in the 3rd year, after which they began to meet.
