Georgy Vitsin was born on April 18, 1917. The talented actor has starred in more than a hundred films. His vivid images are loved and remembered by many generations of Soviet and Russian viewers. A coward from Gaidai's comedies, Khmyr from Gentlemen of Fortune, Vesnushkin from The Reserve Player, Balzaminov from Balzaminov's Marriage and many other film roles brought Vitsin fame as a comedian. At the same time, the playwrights also saw in him a tragic hero - director Georgy Kozintsev, for example, believed that Vitsin would play Shakespeare's Hamlet perfectly.
