Anton L'vovitch Yakovlev, a renowned Russian actor, entered the world on December 8, 1967, in the city of Leningrad, which is now known as Saint-Petersburg, Russia. His journey in the world of performing arts began with his graduation from the prestigious Academy of Russian Ballet named after A. Vaganova, where he honed his skills in the art of ballet. Additionally, he furthered his education by attending the Leningrad Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinematography (LGITMIK) in St. Petersburg, solidifying his foundation in the arts.
Following his academic pursuits, Yakovlev began his professional career in the Maly Theatre at St. Petersburg, where he had the opportunity to hone his craft and gain valuable experience in the field. However, his desire for new challenges and opportunities led him to make the bold decision to relocate to France in 1991. Since then, he has been a vital part of the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, where he continues to thrive and make a name for himself in the French theatrical scene.
