Theatre
Being a student of the Moscow University Osip Abdullov was taking part in amateur performances.
In 1918-1923 he was working in the studio named after Shalyapin, in 1924-1928 he was playing on the scenes of Moscow theatres, in the theatre of V.F. Komissarzhevskaya. In 1929-1936 he was an actor of the theatre-studio under direction of Yu.A. Zavadskiy, in 1938-1942 ? of the Theatre of Revolution and since 1943 he was working in the Theatre of Mossovet.
His best theatre roles are considered to be Knurov ("Bespridannitsa" (Portionless girl) by Ostrovskiy, 1940), Sorin ("Chayka" (Sea-gull) by Chekhov, 1945) and others.
In Abdullov`s art, who possessed delicate actor`s technology, a full-blooded style of comedy was combined with lambent humour, irony; the satiric sharpness of external figure - with the deep disclosure of character`s psychology. Since 1924 he was working on the radio as director and actor. He was teaching in the Theatre-studio of Zavadskiy and in GITIS (State Institute of Theatre Art).
Cinema
He began to star in the cinema in 1933, having shown himself as a bright sharp-charactered comedian. Osip Abdullov`s best works in the cinema are John Silver in "Treasure Island" (1937), Tarantulov in "Man in the case" and Krashke in "Duel".
