Actor Anton Shagin, who starred in the movie Call Sign Passenger, admitted that personal experiences with his brother benefited him while working on his role in the military drama. Shagin talked about this in an interview “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.
“My brother called the other day and said he watched the movie and that my crazy eyes in the first fight reminded him of his first fight. Thank God, my brother is alive, even though he received a shrapnel wound, he received treatment for a long time, recovered, then returned to the front, was injured again, and recovered again…” the artist noted.
The publication announced that the actor’s relative, Konstantin Shagin, volunteered for the Northern Military District. In the same conversation, the star of the movie “Passenger Call Sign” added that their grandfather instilled in them the love of the country.
