Like other famous actors, Valery Garkalin was born in a family who had nothing to do with the cinema and the theater, nor with art in general. The mother of the future artist worked by the cashier, his father - the head of the garage workshop. As it should be expected, the parents categorically disagree with the choice of the son of such an "empty" craft, as a hyseride. They saw Valeria with a serious person with a good profession, such as an engineer. Although the boy was clearly not a mathematical mindset.
Valery initially was an obedient son. In his youth, he even managed to work as a mechanic at the factory. But after the army, the guy rebelled: against the will of the parents he went to the theater university. And even what they refused to be (found that the appearance inappropriate for the cinema), did not beat his hunt to tie a further life with a movie and theater.
Garkalin became a student of the Gnesinsky school and even fell into the experimental group of the Faculty of Pop Art, where Leonid Hatch and Sergey Sodets were educated.
