Many people want to know who voiced the wolf in the animated film "Once upon a time there was a dog." And not surprising, because this character is loved by everyone. Voiced by Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. What do we know about the life of this person?
Armen Dzhigarkhanyan is the People's Artist of the Soviet Union. This person is truly worthy of respect. He was born on October 3, 1935 in the capital of Armenia.
Student years
Since childhood, the boy wanted to become an artist. He dreamed that he would once work in a Russian theater. Immediately after school graduation in 1953, he went to the capital of Russia to try to enter a prestigious educational institution - GITIS. However, the matter did not go further than the interview - everyone was confused by the expressed accent of Armen.
The chagrin of the guy could not be expressed in words. He left for his homeland and for twelve months worked as a lighter in a Yerevan film studio. However, even then, he planned to enter the theater and art university. And this happened in 1954. The guy entered the course to the famous director Vartan Adzhemyan, the director of the theater, named after G. Sundukyan. Then he still weakly believed that one day he would become famous. However, this happened, and today many are aware of who voiced the wolf in the animated film "Once upon a time there was a dog."
Theater work
There were too many enrolled students, and it became necessary to split the group in two.
The director decided to teach the guys who seemed to him the most talented, and the rest moved on to another teacher. Armenians were considered not capable enough. In the second group, the guy met A.K. Gulakyan - a man who became a real mentor for him, whose lessons have been preserved in his memory to this day. Dzhigarkhanyan's work on the theatrical stage started from the first year of the university. His friend, an actor
at the Stanislavsky Theater, had to leave somewhere. He asked Dzhigarkhanyan to play several episodic roles. In particular, he took part in a play called "Ivan Rybakov." Four weeks later, when a friend returned, Armen was allowed to become a full-fledged actor in this theater with a salary of 69 rubles. However, no one from Dzhigarkhanyan’s inner circle had guessed that sometime a cartoon would come out, thanks to which many would recognize him, namely, “There once was a dog” ... Who voiced the wolf is known to all fans of the actor today.
Movie work
Like any artist, especially a young one, Armen dreamed of acting in films. He did his best for this, but at first they did not pay attention to him. But after a while he got the role of a young worker named Hakob in the film "Collapse", then - teacher Alexander in the film "At Dawn".
Then there were filming in the movie "The waters rise." After that, there were still pictures, but Dzhigarkhanyan believes that he really declared himself in the film "Hello, this is me." But then 1967 came, and Armen decided to go to the capital of Russia: there he got a job in Lenkom. But soon he was accepted into the troupe
of the Mayakovsky Theater. Dzhigarkhanyan also was lucky to work on the animated film "Once upon a time there was a dog." Who voiced the wolf, many fans of animation know. Moreover, they know the names of all the people who worked on this cartoon. And it’s good that the memory of these people is still alive.
Everyone's favorite cartoon "Once Upon a Dog"

But there are people who have reviewed this cartoon many times and know every remark in it. They are certainly aware that Armen Dzhigarkhanyan voiced this character. Let's remember what this cartoon is about.
How the Wolf helped the Dog
The day came when a slow old dog, guarding the house, was useless to anyone, and people drove him away. They finally decided on this, when he did not even bark during the robbery of his home: he simply watched the crime at work. The unfortunate Dog went into the woods and was probably ready to commit suicide, but then he met the Wolf, whom they had not gotten along with before. But the former enemy decided to help him regain the trust of people. The wolf dragged the master's child, and the Dog pretended to have taken it from the predator.
In gratitude for saving the baby, the main character is again accepted into the family, where from this moment everyone begins to treat him with great respect. Probably everyone who watched the animated film "Once Upon a Dog" rejoiced in this plot twist. Who voiced the wolf, children, by the way, often learned from their parents.
Wedding occasion
The dog felt indebted to the forest dweller and therefore once invited him into the house when the wedding was held there. He fed the predator stolen dishes from the table. The intoxicated Wolf suddenly wanted to sing. At the moment, just someone was dragging out a soulful song, and the predator began to howl loudly. When people realized that there was a wolf under the table, the Dog depicted a chase after him, and they both ran out into the street. When leaving, the predator broke the fence. So ends the famous cartoon "Once upon a time there was a dog." Who voiced the wolf is now known to you.
