- Actor

Evdokimov began his career as a comedian by imitating famous people
saying famous phrases. He began as a young boy after watching the movie
"Kavkazskaya plennitsa, ili Novye priklyucheniya Shurika" and
memorizing phrases said by Yuriy Nikulin. As the movie was plaing
throughout the region one village at a time, young Yevdokimov was
traveling by bycicle through those villages so he could see the movie
every day and memorize phrases. When he became older, the first time
Evdokimov got to perform on TV, he was imitating the song sung by
Nikulin in the film. When Nikulin found out about that, he was honored
that he became so famous that people even try to imitate him.
