Childhood and first roles
Boris Korchevnikova was born on July 20, 1982 in Moscow.
Mom, Irina Leonidovna Korchevnikova, worked at the Moscow Art Theater: first as an assistant to Oleg Efremov, later she was the deputy director of the theater and director of the Moscow Art Theater Museum. Boris grew up without a father. With him, the director of the theater. Pushkin Vyacheslav Evgenievich Orlov, he met only at the age of 13. As a child, Boris spent a lot of time at his mother's work. Sitting in her office, he usually drew or read, sometimes walked around the theater. He preferred to draw those he saw - mostly actors. From the age of 7 he began to appear on stage himself. His professional “baggage” includes more than ten roles played in performances of the Moscow Art Theater. A. P. Chekhov and the Studio Theater under the direction of Oleg Tabakov
Boris Korchevnikov in his youth
. Eight-year-old Bor was entrusted with children's roles in twelve productions. Of these, my favorite was “The Cabal of the Holy One” based on Bulgakov’s play. He especially liked the scene where he had to lie in the harpsichord for a long time - at this time he could look with interest at the spectators sitting in the hall through the crack. The role was small, but he had a small dialogue with Oleg Efremov, who played in this performance. Boris was also involved in the plays “My Dear, Good Ones,” “Boris Godunov” and “Sailor’s Silence,” where he appeared on stage together with Evgeny Mironov.
Borya began to be interested in journalism very early. When he turned eleven, his mother took him to the television center on Shabolovka, where they were recruiting for a new television show. So Boris became a reporter and TV presenter of the “Tam-Tam News” program on the RTR channel. Then he became the host of the “Tower” program on the same RTR, aimed at a youth audience.

In 1998, when it was time to go to college, Boris decided to try his luck at two universities at once. The young man assured that he could prepare for two entrance exams without any problems, since he already combined work in the theater and on television. And so it happened - he entered both the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University and the Moscow Art Theater School, but still chose to attend Moscow State University. It was not easy to enroll, but the young man found it very interesting and easy to study.
Relationship with father
Despite the fact that Boris met his father only at the age of 13, he always knew about his existence, his mother never said anything bad about him. Orlov worked as a director at the Pushkin Theater. There the first meeting with my son took place. Vyacheslav Evgenievich himself asked for it. At that time he already had a family. The wife, apparently, did not want Orlov to communicate with his son Boris.
As Orlov himself said, before the first meeting, he watched his son’s life from afar. When little Borya played in plays at the Moscow Art Theater, his father took a ticket to the front row and watched him from the auditorium.
Despite his father’s non-negative act, Boris did not hate him, he was only offended for his mother, that his father left her alone in a situation. After meeting as a teenager, Boris again did not communicate with his father for several years. This happened again only when Orlov fell ill. Boris himself arranged a meeting with him. Seeing his sick father near death, Boris experienced tenderness; he realized that this was, after all, a dear person to him, who would soon pass away.

Already while in the hospital, Vyacheslav Evgenievich introduced Borya to his daughter. My sister is 12 years older than Korchevnikov and works as a teacher. They do not communicate closely, sometimes they only call each other.
At the time of his father's death, Boris was nearby. He forever remembered the dying man’s admonition, “Don’t rush to do everything.” The father always loved his son, he was just afraid to admit it.
Actor career. "Kadetstvo"
In 2001, the aspiring journalist became a freelance employee for NTV, and a year later he was hired as a reporter. At the same time, he began acting in films and commercials. So, in the early 2000s, he appeared in a couple of scenes in the TV series “Thief-2” and “Happiness for Rent.”

Filming of the series, which tells about the daily life of young cadets, took almost two years (2006–2007), 12 hours a day, so Boris had to take a long vacation from NTV. There were other difficulties: he, a 24-year-old young man, had to play a 15-year-old teenager. In addition, he, who had long ago decided that he had fully mastered the intricacies of the acting profession in the theater, now changed his point of view - it was not easy to work, he had to fight with uncertainty.

Personal life of Boris Korchevnikov
Boris Korchevnikov is not married, although the media attributed his marriage to actress Anna-Cecile Sverdlova (“The Scent of Rose Hip,” “If You Are Not With Me”).

Boris speaks German and English very well. Korchevnikov takes care of himself, goes to the gym and always dresses fashionably.
The presenter is friendly with sports
Boris would really like to play on stage, but he understands that, not being a certified specialist, he will not be suitable for any talented director, and he does not want to act in low-quality films.

They met in church. Anna did a lot to bring Boris closer to faith. At that time, she worked on the Orthodox channel “Tsargrad” and was involved in charity work.
Sverdlova was born in France in a small town and also spent her childhood there. When she was already finishing school, her parents decided to move to Russia. Anna studied in Moscow and then entered GITIS. After its graduation, Anna did not become an outstanding actress; viewers remember her only from the series “The Scent of Rose Hips.” She also starred in the series “If You Are Not With Me.”
It is not known for certain whether Korchevnikov’s wedding took place with Sverdlova, or whether there was a wedding. The couple broke up and Boris did not take the separation easily. He tried to save the relationship, but to no avail. She and Anna remained friends.

In February 2021, Boris Korchevnikov announced his departure from Live Broadcast. He did not name specific reasons, but the media began to circulate rumors that the tumor had returned, and this time in a malignant guise.

However, the presenter himself did not give any comments about the “illness”; it is likely that the departure was caused by other personal reasons. Or perhaps the offer to head the Orthodox channel “Spas” seemed more profitable to him. One way or another, in August 2017, Andrei Malakhov took the place of the “Live Broadcast” host. The new presenter invited Boris Korchevnikov to the first episode of Live Broadcast,
In September of the same year, the media reported the imminent launch of a new author's program by Boris Korchevnikov on Rossiya 1. The show, called “The Fate of Man,” is dedicated to the amazing stories of interesting people.
A terrible diagnosis and overcoming the disease
Boris does not like to remember or talk about this dark streak in his life. Only in 2015 did he admit that he had a brain tumor removed. This was discussed on the “Live Broadcast” program, where the guests of the program were Andrei Gaidulyan and Dmitry Hvorostovsky, they shared their problems with the audience and told how they were fighting the disease. Only at the end of the program did Boris admit that he understood his heroes like no one else, because he, too, had to endure a terrible illness. With this he stunned the entire audience.
The examination and treatment were carried out in a German clinic. Boris had the operation done there. After it, he partially lost his hearing, and he did not recover immediately. Korchevnikov made every effort to recover, tried to get to work quickly, so it would be easier for him to return to normal. The TV presenter still recalls with words of gratitude how his family and friends supported him and helped him cope with difficulties. It was during that difficult period of life that Boris’s faith in God strengthened. He considers himself a true believer and thanks the Almighty for his recovery.
