Career
In 1961, Hrynko switched to cinema. But at his "native" Dovzhenko Film Studio, he was not considered a "native" actor, appearing in very few films and not in any leading roles. His screenplay based on Ivan Franko's play Stolen Happiness had been lying in the studio offices for 6 years and was shelved.
Hrynko 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.
