Career

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.
