The childhood of the future actor
Nikita Zverev was born in a creative family in July 1973. His father was the head of the traveling circus groups throughout the USSR, and his mother was a graduate of the Institute of Culture, but devoted her life to family and children. In addition to Nikita, Zverev had three more children - the daughter of Kristina and the sons of Anton and Alexei (now everyone has become businessmen).
Nikita grew up as a mobile boy, his indefatigable energy needed to be used, so my mother took her son to a theater club. Often a son and brothers practiced their acting skills at home, arranging performances for family members.
Education
After graduation, Nikita Zverev for a long time could not decide what to devote his life to. He tried himself as a clown and an air gymnast in a circus, but numerous injuries (problems with the spine, concussion, ruptured tendons) forever discouraged him from hunting for gymnastics. Then Nikita worked at a construction site, a bouncer in a restaurant, and even tried to organize his own business in the computer industry. But still the guy felt that it was all wrong and he had a different path. Remembering the school years and classes in the theater club, Nikita decided to become an actor.
After studying for just a month at the school named after Shchepkin M.S., Zverev dropped out of school. He explained his act very simply - he was not interested there. As the actor recalls, the decision came to him during one of the first classes, when the teacher forced the students to line up and shout “Good afternoon!” In the army several times. The future actor decided to continue his studies at GITIS in the workshop of Pyotr Naumovich Fomenko. GITIS became a real “alma mater" for Nikita, where he got a good base for his future profession and still remembers his teacher with great respect. In 2001, Zverev received a diploma of higher education.
Carier start
In 2001, the novice actor Zverev Nikita got a job at the Moscow Theater Studio of Tabakov Oleg Pavlovich. It so happened that the master was present at the graduation performance of Zverev and, noting the talent of the young guy, decided to invite him to his "Snuffbox". Nikita worked there for more than four years, playing in performances such as “From Thursday to Thursday”, “Long Christmas Lunch”, “Ideal Husband”, “At the Bottom”, “Synchron”, “Arcadia” and many others. His career in the theater seemed swift and predictable, but Zverev made an unexpected decision for everyone - to leave the theater. And all because the actor wanted independence, wanted to achieve more. In "Snuffbox", he always had to adapt to famous actors, to be content with secondary roles.

Zverev considers his first mentor Oleg Tabakov to be the main motivating person in his life.

Character Features
The actor, despite his wide popularity and popularity, remains a modest person. He claims that he still has not bought a car and rides the subway. He is glad that his appearance is ordinary and people rarely recognize him. With a smile, he says that only occasionally passers-by look closely at his face and probably think that he was doing repairs in their house.
Nikita does not like to stand out, wears the usual inexpensive comfortable clothes, does not like anything that restricts movement and squeezes the throat, especially ties, scarves and turtlenecks. And he is not a supporter of jewelry, he considers chains around his neck, rings, bracelets and watches - a waste and useless waste of money.
In his free time, the actor tries to maintain his body in shape - he visits the pool and practices yoga with his wife. But he admits that for a long time he can’t abandon the addiction - smoking.
Either as a joke, or seriously, Nikita claims that he has extrasensory abilities - he sees the energy of people and can even predict their fate. Therefore, Zverev will not be upset if the crisis in the country forces him to abandon the movie if they stop shooting it. Smiling, he says that he will always find what to do and how to make money.
