In high school, he was interested in jurisprudence and even thought about a career as a lawyer, but to enter unexpectedly for all decided to the theater institute. His parents did not discourage their son and even found a tutor for him - a famous artist Oleg Vavilov. Efforts were not wasted: after receiving a certificate, Daniel entered the acting department of the Moscow Art Theater Studio School, and a year later transferred to the Shchukin School.

Creative career

Strakhov began acting in movies, being a student. His creative debut was an episodic role in Boris Blank's movie "The Career of Arturo Ui. New Version" based on the play by Bertolt Brecht. Unfortunately, the movie was controversial and special popularity of the young artist did not bring, but he was noticed, began to be invited to new projects. The first roles were small, but very soon the actor began to play and the main characters, for example, the owner of an advertising agency Dmitry Grozovsky in the series "Always say "always".

Handsome Daniel Strakhov has never suffered from a lack of attention from the fair sex. But all his fans were waiting for a cruel disappointment: their idol has long been married and for more than 20 years has been faithful to one woman - Maria Leonova.

With his future wife, he met when he was a second-year student at the "Shchuka". The guy instantly fell in love, but the girl did not pay any attention to him: she at this time had an affair with another classmate.

For Strakhov it became a real tragedy, he did not find a place, had fleeting romances, organized drunken orgies. Rumor has it that, trying to attract attention to himself, he even made Maria an offer, but was refused.

After graduation, Strakhov and Leonova were distributed in the same theater. At that time, Maria had already parted with her former admirer and did not object at all to Daniel's advances.
