The NCC is less than impressed with Vecchiali's latest script, and they turn him down, just as they have done a number of times in the past. Angry and determined that the NCC will never break the spirit of another director, Vecchiali and his crew block out a plan to assassinate the nine members of the funding board, though the press and public seem more bemused than outraged by the sudden rash of killings.

Олег Стриженов

biography:
Стриженов Олег Александрович

Родился 10 августа 1929 года в Благовещенске Амурской области, в семье военного.

Заслуженный артист РСФСР (12.06.1964).

Народный артист РСФСР (1969).

Народный артист СССР (1988).

В 1953 году, окончив Театральное училище имени Б. В. Щукина, стал актёром Государственного русского драматического театра в Таллине (Эстонская ССР). На сцене этого театра он сыграл роль Незнамова в спектакле «Без вины виноватые» — эту роль впоследствии в течение 10 лет он играл с большим успехом на сцене МХАТ имени Горького.

В 1963-1976 - актер МХАТ им. М. Горького.

Дебют в кино - в 1954 году, главная роль в кинофильме «Овод» («Ленфильм», 1955, режиссёр А. М. Файнциммер).

Александр Довженко пригласил Стриженова на роль Андрия в экранизацию «Тараса Бульбы», которую вынашивал много лет, считая своим самым сокровенным замыслом. К несчастью, Александр Петрович вскоре умер, так и не приступив к съёмкам; роль Андрия осталась несыгранной...

Следующим фильмом был «Сорок первый» (1956) Г. Н. Чухрая. В этой картине Стриженов исключительно точно воплотил сложный внутренний мир белого офицера.

Среди лучших ролей - Афанасий Никитин в первом совместном советско-индийском фильме «Хождение за три моря» (1957, режиссеры В. М. Пронин и Х. А. Аббас; в индийском прокате — «Чужестранец»), Мечтатель в фильме "Белые ночи" (1959), Герман в "Пиковой даме" (1960), летчик Сергей Егоров в мелодраме режиссеров В. Краснопольского и В. Ускова "Неподсуден" (1969), Александр Гагарин в картине "Вместо меня" (2000).

В 1957-1966 гг., а также с 1977 года и по настоящее время состоит в труппе Театра-студии киноактёра.

Незнамов - "Без вины виноватые", А.Н. Островский
