Born into a family of merchants, the Golovastikovs, he worked in small trades (moss on the Volga, telegraph employee) before becoming passionate about theatre, which he practised first in his native town, adopting the stage name of Soudbinine, then during tours in provincial theatres, before joining the first troupe of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898, where he played Chekhov, Tolstoy and Gorky, among others.
