Vitali Baganov
- Actor
- Additional Crew
Baganov came to acting via a somewhat circuitous route. Born in
Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia), he attended Leningrad
State University, where he studied astronomy for 4 years. After that -
it must have been in his stars - he entered the State Institute of
Theater, Music and Cinematography, and four years later graduated with
a degree in acting. After that, Baganov was hired by the State Theater
Lencom in Leningrad and later worked in yet another state theater, the
Kommisarzevskiy. A few years later, he left the theater in order to do
films and television work in various cities of the USSR, including
Moscow, Odessa, Sverdlovsk, Kiev, Leningrad/St. Petersburg, and so on.
Baganov went to the United States in 1991, and has lived and worked
there ever since.
