Actor Roman Kurtsyn recently shared a vivid memory from the filming of the series Sword, recalling a month spent at Yaroslavsky station. The account, first reported by the Telegram channel Zvezdach, paints a stark picture of the actor’s improvisation and endurance during production.
Kurtsyn described his finances as nearly non-existent during that period. He slept on a bag, traveled to the mansion where scenes were filmed, and used a basic sink to wash his feet and other parts of his body, brushing his teeth, and then stepping into frame for shooting. The routine was grueling, yet he persisted, compelled by a professional duty and a deep gratitude for the opportunity to work on the project.
Speaking about the work conditions, Kurtsyn recalled that his compensation felt modest, akin to overtime work without the typical financial benefits. Despite the lean wages, he emphasized a strong sense of appreciation for being cast in Sword and the chance to contribute to the storytelling on screen. This sentiment underscores the actor’s dedication to his craft and his respect for the collaborative effort behind any extensive production.
The actor began his career in 2007, making his first appearance in a minor role in the television series Always Say Always. He later gained recognition for portraying Konstantin Orlov in the crime drama Sword, a role that helped cement his presence in contemporary Russian television. His resume also includes appearances in Doctor Tyrsa, Fire, Balkan Border, Hotel Eleon, IP Pirogova, Walk, Vasya! My Date in Bali, and (NOT) the Ideal Man, illustrating a diverse range of characters across genres.
Kurtsyn is married to fellow actress Anna Nazarova, with whom he met while studying at the Yaroslavl State Theater Institute. The couple welcomed a son named Nikita in 2012, a detail often cited to highlight the actor’s personal life alongside his on-screen career. The balance between professional commitments and family life is a recurring theme in discussions about his journey as a performer.
In related reflections on personal resilience in long-running partnerships, other actors, including Nonna Grishaeva, have commented on the dynamics that help sustain a strong marriage in the public eye. These insights echo a broader conversation about stability, trust, and mutual support within the demanding world of television and stage work. (Source attribution: Zvezdach Telegram channel)
