Traveller to the future and stealer things-Gregson
Dmitriev was raised by his mother and grandparents, since his father left the family soon after Igor was born. During the war Dmitriev found out that there's a theatrical studio opens up, and to get into there, he had to read Lermontov's "Masquerade" for both Arbenin and his wife Nina, because he didn't have a partner. The examiners said that Arbenin was shit, but Nina was innocent and great, so Dmitriev got into the studio for playing Nina. The war times have affected his family as well - his step-father and mother were taken to a camp, mother came back after a few months and the stepdad has never returned.
He was studying in Art Theatre School, there he lived with his friend in a room with no windows and doors, but they were very lucky since usually there were 12 students in a room. As Dmitriev said, his years in the school were hungry and funny, as any students'.
Since 1984 he was working in Saint-Petersburg Comedy Theatre. He was mostly known for playing all kinds of aristocrats and officers, you know, all the VIP people.
He knew his wife since his childhood, and once, after they've graduated, they were walking past a shooting range and Dmitriev asked her if she wanted to shoot something. She asked, just joking, what she will get if she strikes 10 out of 10, and suddenly Igor responded that he will marry her. So she didn't miss a thing and Dmitriev had to marry her. They have a son who works in an American company, and Dmitriev's wife has passed away in the 90s. Dmitriev was always missing her since her death.
Dmitriev was also well-known for his voice: he was narrating and playing on radio for 40 years. His speech was very clear, with great articulation and lots of intonations. He was always an optimistic and funny man. He died on 25th January of 2008 in Saint-Petersburg.
