Career
Career
In 1961, Grinko switched to cinema. But at his "native" Dovzhenko Film Studio, he was not considered a "native" actor, he was filmed very little, and was not offered any leading roles. His screenplay for Ivan Franko's Stolen Happiness had been lying in the studio offices for 6 years and was put on the shelf. Grinko is well known for his roles in the films of Andrei Tarkovsky, including: Ivan's Childhood, Andrei Rublev, Solaris, Mirror, and Stalker. He also starred in the 1981 film Teheran 43.
