Biography

Nevinny was born on 30 November 1934 in Tula. After graduating in 1954 from high school, he tried to join the school studio of Moscow Arts Theater, but failed the examinations. After failure, he did not leave a dream to become an actor. Instead, he became employed in the Tula Theatre for Young Spectators as a supporting actor.

In 1955, Nevinny again took an examination in the school studio of Moscow Arts Theater; this time, the attempt was successful. After graduation in 1959 (Viktor Stanitsyn's course), he became an actor. He participated in many performances, such as:

The Government Inspector (as Khlestakov),
Ivanov (as Borkin),
The Seagull (as Shamraev),
Uncle Vanya (as Telegin),
The Cherry Orchard (as Epikhodov),
Woe from Wit (as Famusov), etc.

In 1960, Nevinny made his debut in cinema as a policeman in the movie Probation. After his first role, Nevinny played in several other movies, The Chairman (as Pavel Markushev) and Ruslan and Ludmila (as Farlaf). Vyacheslav Nevinny also played in the famous comedies The Garage (1979) and It Can't Be! (1975).

In 1984, Nevinny played the role of Sobakevich in Dead Souls. In the same year, he took part in the popular children sci-fi TV series Guest from the Future as space pirate Veselchak U (lit. Jolly Man U).

Yevgeni Gerasimov's comedy Do Not Marry, Girls (1985), in which Nevinny played one of the leads, was very popular with the viewers, as well as his roles in Eldar Ryazanov's comedy Beware of the Car (1966) and Promised Heaven (1991). One of Nevinny's last remarkable film roles was the remake of the famous Italian film Cops and Robbers (1997) by director Nikolai Dostal. Many popular Russian animation characters speak in Nevinny's voice. For many years, Nevinny had diabetes, which grew worse and worse. In 2003, he was taken to a hospital and had to spend a whole year there.

In 2005, Nevinny underwent major surgery. Nevinny's left foot was amputated because of gangrene. In 2006, his second foot was amputated, as the illness progressed.

Nevinny died at the age of 74 on 31 May 2009. President Dmitry Medvedev expressed his condolences to relatives and friends of the actor. Nevinny was buried on 3 June 2009 in Moscow's Troyekurovskoye Cemetery.^{[citation needed]}
