Biography
Grigoriy Dobrygin is a Russian actor, director, screenwriter, and producer born 17 February 1986. He trained as a classical ballet dancer before transitioning to acting, landing his breakout role as the first Russian superhero in Black Lightning in 2009. The critically acclaimed How I Ended This Summer followed in 2010, establishing him as a serious dramatic talent. His Western expansion began in 2014 with dual releases—A Most Wanted Man and Black Sea—both of which signaled his crossover appeal. Critics have dubbed him Russia's top acting export and the "Russian James Franco" for his refusal to be confined to a single genre or medium. As an Aquarius born on 17 February, his fixed-air sensibility aligns with his methodical approach to character work across film and theatre. His life-path number 7 reflects a pattern of introspection and mastery—the hallmark of actors who deepen their craft through reflection rather than pure instinct. Working across screenwriting, acting, directing, and producing positions him within a rare category of Russian creatives capable of managing multiple creative disciplines.
