Platon Andreyevich (played by Viktor Avilov) is a protagonist in Mister Designer.
Platon Andreyevich is an artist-designer obsessed with creating perfect, lasting images that can overcome death. He sculpts Anna Beletskaya's likeness into a wax mannequin, later pursues Maria as Anna, and gradually loses his grip on reality before attacking her and surviving an ambiguous encounter with the grey car. Anna Beletskaya (Mariya) (played by Anna Demyanenko) is a protagonist in Mister Designer.
Anna Beletskaya is a young woman suffering from consumption whom Platon Andreyevich uses as the model for a beautiful wax mannequin. Years later, Maria resembles her exactly while denying their connection. Her apparent transformation between living woman and artificial figure becomes the central mystery driving Platon's obsession and collapse. Grilyo (played by Mikhail Kozakov) appears in Mister Designer.
Grilyo is a wealthy businessman who hires Platon Andreyevich to decorate his mansion after the designer's career and finances decline. He travels with Platon to the estate, loses a large fortune to him in a poker game, and is later discovered dead while his household holds a wake for him. Servant (played by Ivan Krasko) appears in Mister Designer.
The Servant works at Grilyo's mansion and drives the grey car associated with the household.
