Biography of Anton Eskin
Childhood and YouthAnton Andreevich Eskin was born on a winter day in February 1983 in the city of Zarechny, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. He received his secondary education at the local Secondary School No. 2, where he had in-depth studies in the English language. During one year, Anton honed his skills in England as part of an exchange program. In his childhood, he was also passionate about volleyball and even achieved the title of Candidate for Master of Sports. He also attended a dance section and dreamed of a career as a clown, but his parents convinced him to choose a different profession. After receiving his diploma, Anton applied to two universities in Yekaterinburg - a law school and a theater school. He was accepted into both and chose the latter, where he studied under the guidance of director Alexander Blinov.
Theater and Film
During his college years, Eskin became interested in pantomime and physical theater. After graduation, he moved to the Russian capital to pursue his career and continued his education at the BlackSkyWhite Physical Theater. With the troupe, the young actor traveled around Europe and also worked as a dancer in Moscow clubs. In the mid-2000s, Eskin collaborated with artist Helen Demi on art projects and then joined the troupe of the State Theater of Nations. He made his screen debut in 2004 in the psychological melodrama "An Angel Came to You." After that, he appeared in an episode of the series "My Fair Nanny" as a yogurt advertisement client. Despite his limited screen time, the distinctive appearance and expressive facial expressions of the actor caught the attention of filmmakers. His tall height (189 cm) and unique appearance made him ideal for playing criminals. He appeared as a racketeer in the series "Doomed to Become a Star" with Anna Snatkina and Oleg Solovyov, portrayed a gangster in the comedy "Hello, I'm Your Daddy!" and a hooligan in the melodrama "The Bride." The actor's bald head also played a significant role in defining his image, becoming his trademark and making the audience wonder about the nature of his hair loss. However, Anton himself did not comment on this fact. After a series of nameless characters, Eskin was offered the role of Grisha in the second season of the comedy series "Students." While working on this successful project, the theater school graduate got acquainted with industry sharks such as Ivar Kalnynsh, Mikhail Mamaev, and Vladimir Sterzhakov, among others. In 2006, the "fierce gangster" became part of the film "Three from the Top," starring Ilya Oleynikov, Tatiana Vasilyeva, and Evgeniya Volkova. The special guest of the project was producer Mark Rudinstein, who played a role in one episode. The film found its audience and became popular, and a year later, the actor returned to work on the second season.
In the future, Eskin was involved in the role of a bad guy in both popular projects ("Daddy's Daughters," "University," "Bodyguard-3," "Love in the Big City 2," "Margosha") and low-budget detective series. The audience particularly remembered his character Gibbon in Andrey Maliukov's action movie "Escape." In 2012, the actor gained fame by starring in the multi-episode detective series "Cop in Law - 5," where he portrayed a criminal authority nicknamed Tuz and formed an unforgettable duo with Dmitry Blokhin. In the same year, fans of Eskin's work could appreciate his quality performance in the film "The Lone Wolf." Another notable role in the actor's biography is the character Alfred Gubarev in the ironic detective series "Balabol" with Konstantin Yushkevich and Vadim Andreev in the lead roles. Anton later returned to the role of Tuz in subsequent seasons of "Cop in Law" and expanded his collection of screen works by participating in the project "Christmas Trees 1914" with Ivan Urgant and Sergey Svetlakov, as well as in the remake of "Prisoner of the Caucasus."
The character of the gangster Los in the film "Steppe Wolves" and the role of San Sanych in Mikhail Khleborodov's movie "Temporarily Unavailable" also earned praise from the audience. Following these roles, the actor appeared alongside Yuri Stoyanov and Anastasia Zadorozhnaya in the comedy "You Can Call Me Dad." After a series of gangster roles, he focused on the continuation of the series "Balabol."
In the summer of 2021, Eskin's filmography was enriched with the thriller "Ghost," reminiscent of "The Bourne Identity," with the difference that Pavel Priluchny replaced Matt Damon in the lead role.
Personal Life
Anton prefers to keep his personal life private and keeps his most precious moments a secret. Fans and journalists have been trying for many years to find out who Anton Eskin's mysterious wife is.
However, it is known that the actor is happily married to a beautiful blonde who is not a public figure and prefers to keep their family life private, providing a reliable support for her famous husband. Together with his wife Ekaterina, he raises their son Roman, who was born in 2012.
Despite his criminal image, Eskin is known as an intelligent, friendly, and self-critical person with a good sense of humor. Thousands of followers follow his Instagram, and the actor enjoys sharing his creative successes with his fans. However, his loving family remains behind the scenes, and only occasional photos with his son Roman and nephews appear in his feed.
In his free time, Eskin enjoys traveling and prefers to relax in the Urals. He enjoys kayaking, playing volleyball, taking his son to the zoo, and going on hikes.
