Vladimir Nosik is an actor of total integrity, endowed with a genuine sense for the art. The images created by the artist are always distinguished by their authenticity and integrity, no matter how grotesque they truly are, like the First Wise Man in «Tsar Ivan the Terrible» by Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy, or a clueless doctor Christian Ivanovich Gibner in Gogol’s «The Government Inspector».

Vladimir Benediktovich is one of those unique universal actors, who are not bound by any specific genre or role. The actor possesses a unique gift for transformation - he is ridiculously funny in the role of the uptight and mannered Mr. Diafoirus, he evokes squeamish pity as a drunk solicitor Rispolozhensky and arouses genuine compassion when his hero, the wealthy peasant Pyotr, begs for mercy from the employee, who became the indirect culprit of his death («The Power of Darkness» by Leo Tolstoy).

Vladimir Nosik is an actor endowed with the rare gift of charisma both on stage and offstage. He is one of the most popular and beloved movie stars, who has appeared in over 160 movies and television shows. Nosik made his screen debut, when he was a student and worked with some of the most prominent Soviet directors – Yuliy Rayzman, Larisa Shepitko, Yakov Segel, Alexander Zarkhi, Eldar Ryazanov, Svetlana Druzhinina, Evgeniy Matveev, Yury Chulyukin, Pavel Arsenov, Leonid Gaidai, Alla Surikova, Savva Kulish, Jerzy Hoffman.
