Childhood and youth
The future celebrity was born in May 1958 in the Polish town of Brzeg, where his father served as a military pilot. When the boy was 6 years old, his parents moved to Kiev.

He began to actively participate in amateur theater, played in school productions. Mom did not object to the hobby of her son, but believed that he should get a serious profession. Alexei listened to her opinion. After graduating from high school, he entered the Bauman Higher Technical School in Moscow, but he was not able to get a serious profession. Bauman in Moscow, but he did not stop dreaming about the stage.
While studying at Bauman Guskov began to play in the student theater, often attended performances, watching the work of established artists. Being in his fifth year, he watched a production with the participation of Alexei Petrenko. The game of the famous actor so shocked Guskov that he left the most prestigious educational institution of the country and, having successfully passed the exams, entered the School-Studio of the Moscow Art Theater.
