Foreign film actors:
OLEG MENSHIKOV:
This is one of my favorite actors. He is Russian, and both extremely talented and good looking.
Some of his works include: Burnt By the Sun, Dyuba-Dyuba, The Prisoner of the Mountains, Mama, East-West
Theatre: Caligula
A small biography:
Born on: November 8, 1960
Born In: Serpukhov (for those of you who don't know, it is in the vicinity of Moscow)
Interests: Highly skilled in both music and acting. If you see Burnt By the Sun you will get to see and hear him play piano.
Look for the link on the links page about the Menshikov website for more information about this great man.
Burnt By the Sun was directed and written and starred NIKITA MIKHALKOV. He is also what I consider a Russian film genius. Whether you speak Russian or not (I do by the way) you will get great enjoyment out of russian films, as those that are avalable in the US are subtitled or dubbed.

ROBERTO BEGNINI: Have you seen Life is Beautiful? If so, that's him in that, who directed also. He is Italian by the way. He won some awards for this.

Here is Shammi Kapoor, an actor born in 1931 in Bombay, India. He was very funny in his movies, but could be serious at the same time. He was in one of my personal favorite Bollywood films entitled "Junglee". It was on Turner Classic Movies recently, I hope you caught it. |  |

If you have cable and live in the US (don't know about Canada) you probably get the channel Bravo. They often times show foreign films for your watching pleasure.
