The boy grew up in a boarding school because his mother could barely make ends meet and could not provide for her children. The young man’s artistic talent began to manifest itself from childhood: while at school, Semyon Mikhailovich participated in amateur performances and surprised listeners with his songs, for which he received the nickname: the Birobidzhan nightingale. The boy tried to imitate the voice of the Italian singer Robertino Loretti.
The fact is that in adolescence, Semyon’s voice, like that of all boys, began to break, which is why he could not please music lovers with his ringing tenor, so the Birobidzhan nightingale sank into oblivion. When the guy turned 16, he began serving in the folk theater, on the stage of which Semyon Mikhailovich’s creative biography began.
Having received a certificate of secondary education, Strugachev entered the Far Eastern Pedagogical Institute of Arts, from which he graduated in 1979. After graduation, he joined the troupe of the Primorsky Regional Drama Theater in Vladivostok.
At the Primorsky Regional Academic Theater named after. Gorky Strugachev Semyon Mikhailovich served since 1980, and it was there that his artistic talent manifested itself.
The actor also served at the Kuibyshev Drama Theater, performed on the stage of the Lensoveta Theater, played at the Mayakovsky Theater and worked in multiple enterprises.
Of course, during his service in the theater, Semyon Mikhailovich showed himself to be a versatile artist who excels in comedic roles.
It is also known that the comedian can play eight musical instruments and writes music for performances.
The actor's peculiar appearance allowed him to transform himself on the stage of theater and cinema into foreigners – French, Italians and various marquises.
