Konstantin Yuryevich Khabensky (Russian: Константин Юрьевич Хабенский; born 11 January 1972) is a Russian actor best known in the West for starring in the films Night Watch and Day Watch as the protagonist, Anton Gorodetsky. He was awarded the title People's Artist of Russia. (2012)
Khabensky was born and educated in St Petersburg. His father was an engineer and mother a mathematics teacher. After school, Konstantin entered the Technical College of Aviation Instrument Engineering and Automation, but he only studied there for three years, after which he realized that this was not for him. He tried many jobs including as a janitor, cleaner, street musician, and then was hired as a lighting technician at the theatre studio "Subbota" where he later performed for the first time. In 1990 Khabensky entered the Leningrad State Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinema (course of Veniamin Filshtinsky), where his classmates were Mikhail Porechenkov, Andrei Zibrov and Mikhail Trukhin. He graduated in 1996.
His screen debut was in 1994, in the comedy film To whom will God send where he appeared in a minor role of a pedestrian.
In 1998, he acted in three pictures at once: in the Russian-Hungarian criminal fantasy melodrama of Tomas Toth Natasha, the social drama of Aleksei German, Khrustalyov, My Car! and in the melodrama of Dmitry Meskhiev Women's Property. Soon Konstantin played a small role in the thriller of Nikolai Lebedev's "The Admirer" (1999). The next notable work in the cinema was the main role in the drama of Vladimir Fokin's House for the Rich (2000).
The series Lethal Force brought Khabensky popularity (2000-2005); TV viewers identified him as Igor Plakhov.
Another notable work of Khabensky in cinema was the role of Sasha Guriev in the film directed by Filipp Yankovsky "In Motion" (2002). Cooperation with Filipp Yankovsky continued in the film The State Counsellor (2005), where the actor starred in the role of Green (Grigory Grinberg).
