Oleg Menshikov


Is such a good actor. I first noticed him in Utomlyonne Solnstem (Burnt by the Sun) and was immediately stricken with the overwhelming urge to see all his movies. He's amazing, I wish his movies were easier to come by.

These two (East-West and Burnt by the Sun) are highly acclaimed and each grabbed Oscar attention, if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully, he'll produce more movies such as these so that we Westerners can enjoy his screen presence.

Both Oleg Menshikov and Sergei Bodrov Jr. were fantastic in "Prisoner of the Mountains," which may well be my favorite movie of all time.

Menshikov also had the starring role in the Russian film version of "Doctor Zhivago."
