Biography
Igor Kvasha was born in Moscow, the son of scientist Vladimir Ilich Kvasha, of the faculty of Mendeleev Russian University of Chemistry and Technology. Kvasha graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School, where he was taught by Aleksander Karev. After graduation, he joined the Moscow Art Theater troupe and performed there for two years (1955-1957). In 1957 he started work at the newly established Sovremennik Theater, where he remained.
In his last years, Kvasha hosted the TV talk show Wait for Me (Russian: Zhdi menya/Жди меня) on Russia's Channel One. Kvasha himself acknowledges that he has got there accidentally.
He died in Moscow at the age of 79.
