G
Gadoev, Hoshim
Tajik actor and director Hoshim Gadoev, also referred to as Hoshim
Gado, was born in May 10, 1937 in Kulab. After finishing middle
school (1956), he entered the Lunacharskii Institute of Theater in
Moscow.
After graduating in 1960, he joined the Musical and Comic Theater
of Leninabad. In 1961, he joined the Lahuti State Academy of Dramatic
Arts. His acting in K. Gotstsi's Shah Gavazn (King Buck) clearly
pointed to his talent as an upcoming actor. At the Lahuti State Academy
of Dramatic Arts, he performed dramatic, tragic, and romantic roles.
Some of his performances were deep and matchless. Among his memo-
rable roles are Lolaev in Irodai Zan (Woman's Resolve), by A. Sidqi,
1961; Sodiq in Surudi Kuhsor (The Song of the Mountains), by Gh.
Abdullo, 1962; Ferdinand in Makr va Mahabbat (Cunning and Love),
by F. Schiller, 1962; Suhrob in Rustam va Suhrob (Rustam and Suhrab),
by Gh. Abdullo, 1967; Divona in Shabi Giriftani Moh (The Night of the
Eclipse of the Moon), by M. Karim, 1972; and others.
Gadoev is a master in the portrayal of characters with deep social
and cultural roots. He probes each character's background and interprets
the role in light of the character's psychological state.
He entered the world of film in 1964, appearing in many TajikFilm
productions. His roles in film include Komil in 12 So'ati Hayot (The 12
Hours of Life, 1964), Safar in Guriza (Refugee, 1969), Suhrob in
Rustam va Suhrob (Rustam and Suhrab, 1972), and many others.
Beginning as early as 1961, Gadoev tried his hand at directing and
brought such works as F. Ansori's Ijoranishin (Tenant) and A. Pushkin's
Foji'ahoi Khurd (Small Calamities) to stage.
Gadoev became a People's Artist of Tajikistan in 1970, and won the
Rudaki State Prize in 1972.
