Description of the character
Andrei is an intelligent 26 year old who
dreams of becoming a photographic artist and to live independently. Ironic
and even moderately cynical, not very compatible with life, in many ways weak
and terribly unlucky - his fortune has not been obtained thus far!
For a long time Andrei lived with his
parents in a small Russian town. Due to an inheritance from his
grandmother he was able to move to a small apartment in Moscow with another
relative where he attended school until he graduated in his third year.
His dream is to become a photographic artist and to live on his own. After
living for three years in the city he is a true Moscovite and finally able to
move into his own apartment. The unexpected arrival of Ivan interferes
with his longed-for secluded life, but his attitude slowly begins to change.
On working on this project
"Very recently ended on the
tele-novel "Do Not Be Borne by Beautiful." But sitcom - this is
something else. Everything differs:
situation, the relation between the people. I will not say that they are worse
or better. It is simply different. Do I get tired? If I have to
be honest, then yes. But this is a good fatigue; it's right. Command is class.
I'm very glad that my
partner in this show is Anton Eldarov, he is a good artist. Prior to the
beginning of work in the "Brothers Differently" we were familiar with
one another - we were in an acting program together. But here we are working together for the first time ".
ANTON EL'DAROV
(plays Ivan Zyamzyulin)
 Biography
Studied in the central musical school with the Moscow state conservatory.
Finished THE VGIK in 2001
(workshop G. Taratorkina). Worked in the theater of Gogol performing in
many plays. Participated in the play of "Voytsek" of the
center of dramaturgy and direction under the management of A. Kazantseva and M.
Roshchina. Television: "Soldiers," "The Incident of
Kukotskogo,"

Description of the character
A distant relative of Andrei, Ivan is from
a remote settlement where he was the only person who went to a school of higher
education. He worked as a shepherd, combining those responsibilities while
working as a teacher.
In his home country he was considered a
very clever person. He was famous for being funny and had a reputation for
laughing loudly at his own jokes. "Joke - humor - this I can!"
is the dear expression of Ivan (editor's note - this would be the equivalent
of Balki's "Where do I come up with them?"). He was
betrothed by his father to Dardanelle from birth but wishing to avoid this
marriage he runs away to the capital of Moscow.
Ivan is childishly enthusiastic, naive,
sincere
and believes in the unshakable force of family ties. He is prepared to come to
the aid of someone he doesn't even know, which makes him absolutely
open-hearted. He is merry, good,
inventive and resourceful. Ivan is not cut out for life in the big city
but still approaches it with total energy and optimism. He speaks with a sufficiently strong
accent and often speaks in malapropisms so common sayings come out wrong, such
as "If on
the street it goes snow - it means, on the street coldly" and similar
misquotes. He looks up to Andrei in every way possible as a guardian,
almost idolizing him.
On working on this project
"I have over time played many nationalities: Uzbeks, Jews, Ukrainians.
This time I'm in
the role of a Caucasian (from Caucus mountain range on southern edge of Russia) for the second time. And I have roots in
that area. My
great-grandfather was Armenian and one of the founders of Yerevan State
Conservatory.
"Thus far everything is
wonderful. True it is necessary to speak with the slightly
exaggerated Caucasian accent - I do not know what nationality my
hero is, it's not defined concretely. It occurs to me that
even when I go home I begin to speak with the accent and this is strange for my
4 1/2
and 8 month old children."
OLEG

 Biography

"Emergency Medical Service," "Stoppage on the Requirement"

Description of the character
The manager of the antique store where Ivan and Andrey work.
Vital
credo - zhlob (clumsy, stupid and greedy people). He loves to make himself feel
important and in charge by surrounding himself with people he perceives to be
complete idiots so that he may use them. He loves to feel pompous and
behaves boorishly to those he thinks are weak. He is married and fears his
wife since his father-in-law is a rich and influential man. He is a player
and does his best to hide this from his wife.
On working on this project
"I agreed to this project without
reservation. It seems that is will be entertaining and funny to the
viewers. Action shows and amorous melodramas are old hat. Our cast
is outstanding and a bond formed between us . . . it was established immediately
because my wife on the series is a good actress. We played together in
other shows. Then we met for the first time with Anton. After
several days we were working well together, we all understood one another and
help each other.
"I play a man who has dollar signs in
his eyes. He is the player who
cannot stop. I originally wanted to make him more rigid but after looking
at the first episodes I realized that this is uninteresting. I began to
create some special things for my character. I call Ivan "error of
the mountains." We work from scripts but once in a while we improvise
something as we work! But to me it's very comfortable here. They
feed me well and worry about me!"
MARINA YESIPENKO (Tamara

Description of the character
Married to Arkady, Tamara is a housewife, practical and good-natured, half of the family
of Nechaevy. In contrast to her meager and grumbling husband, Tamara
sympathizes with his workers, frequently paying them the bonuses
which her husband prefers to forget. In this case she rules her husband
with an iron fist and he is under her heel.
On working on this project
"I'm feeling more and more
comfortable working on a sitcom. When I began I was a dramatic theatre
actress and was not sure about working in comedy. But I grew to enjoy it.
"I obtain great pleasure
from working here and working with the other actors because the younger actors
are good and the greatest enjoyment for an actor comes from working well in a
partnership. When you don't get anything from your acting partners the
result is not very good. We will hope that everything will be good. As far as Tamara
Nechaeva is concerned, I don't know my heroine very well, but the series has
only just begun and I hope that I will be
increasingly more interesting and that my character grows more diverse."
