Ivan Yankovsky
Ivan Filippovich Yankovsky (Russian: Иван Филиппович Янковский; born October 30, 1990; Moscow) is a Russian actor, best known for his role in Rag Union. His father is actor/director Filipp Yankovsky, and his grandfather was the actor Oleg Yankovsky. Ivan Yankovsky was born in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. Ivan's parents are actor and director Filipp Yankovsky and actress Oksana Fandera. Younger sister Elizaveta is also an actress. From the 8th grade he studied at the Moscow International Film School, after which he entered GITIS. In 2013 he graduated from the acting and directing department (workshop of Sergey Zhenovach). His cinematic debut was at the age of 10 in the film Come Look at Me (2001). And the first success and recognition among the public came to him after the role of Andrei Kalyaev in the picture "Indigo" (2008), which told the story of people with superpowers. In particular, the hero of Ivan Yankovsky can anticipate danger and other events. He starred in the film Rag Union (2015) by director Mikhail Mestetskiy. According to Ivan Yankovsky, he can easily relate to the character he created on screen: This character is not frivolous - he is ideological, he collects and leads everyone, but when he realizes that all this does not make sense and that it is better to enter the institute, he decides: "Let's cancel everything". It is also close to me, this self-flagellation and soul-searching, which is innate for him.
