Biography

Rogvold Sukhoverko was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) on 30 October 1941, to Vasiliy Vasilevich Suhoverko, a military doctor, and Aleksandra Yakovlevna (née Terenteva) Suhoverko.

In 1965, Sukhoverko graduated from the Moscow Art Theatre school (class of Vasily Markov).^[2] In the same year he joined the troupe of the Sovremennik Theatre, where he worked for many years.^[3] He also worked in radio, and as a dubbing actor. He had voice-acted in numerous domestic and foreign animated cartoons, feature films, and, as well, in computer games. In 2008, the publishing house Zebra E released Rogvold Sukhoverko's book of memories, Zigzagi, which is about the Sovremennik Theatre, and his radio and stage activities.^[4]

Sukhoverko possessed a basso profondo, but almost lost his voice due to illness. From 2005 on, he did not take the voice acting anymore.^[4] His last theatrical appearance was made on 4 April 2015.^[5] On 9 April 2015, he died in Moscow after a long struggle with his illness, despite which he continued to play at the theatre.^[5][6] A farewell ceremony of Rogvold Sukhoverko was held on 11 April 2015 at the main stage of the Sovremennik Theatre.^[5]

Personal life

He has a son, Anton Sukhoverko (born 1969), who is an economist, and also known for his child role as Kolya Sulima in the TV miniseries Guest from the Future, and a daughter, Aleksandra Sukhoverko (born 1973).
