Aleksei Fomkin

Aleksei Leonidovich Fomkin (Russian: Алексей Леонидович Фомкин), (August 30, 1969 – February 24, 1996) was a Russian actor best known for his recurring appearances in the children's television series Yeralash and for his lead role in Guest from the Future.

After returning from service in the army, Fomkin was briefly a part of the Moscow Art Theatre. He left Moscow for Vladimir, Russia where he obtained work as a miller and met his wife, Elena.

On February 24, 1996, Fomkin was staying over at an apartment with some friends. When the apartment building caught on fire, he was asleep and thus, was the only one who did not make it out safely, eventually suffocating in the smoke.

He is buried in Vladimir.
