He graduated from the Natural Sciences Department of Physics and Mathematics Faculty of Moscow University (1903). He was published for the first time in 1901, and was an adherent of the so-called young symbolists. From 1905 he regularly visited St. Petersburg and Tsarskoe Selo; visited Ivanov's Wednesdays, Merezhkovsky's Salon. He was published in The World of Art, New Way and other journals. He was greatly influenced by Alexander Blok (he started correspondence in 1903, was personally acquainted in 1904), friendship with him endured heavy and painful trials, caused by the love of Bely to Block's wife - L.D. Blok. He delivered reports in Tenishevsky School, The Society for Lovers of Artistic Writing (took place at the Apollo journal editing board), etc. Bely's novel Petersburg (1-3 volumes of Sirin Petersburg publishing house, 1913-14; as a separate edition - Petersburg, 1916) was an attempt of an integral description of the city based on the so-called Petersburg text created by the preceding literary traditions and 200-year old mythology of St. Petersburg. The confrontation of European rationalism and Asian anarchy is depicted in the image of St. Petersburg in the novel, which is characterised above all by the exactness of indications to concrete places of the city. The global crisis of the historical development of Russia is reflected in a terrifying absurdity of apocalyptic Petersburg space depicted in the novel. He was a participant and editor of Scythes volume. He was one of the founders and chairs of the Free Philosophic Association Soviet in Petersburg (1919-21). He was closely associated with Alkonost publishing house. In 1931 he lived twice for a long period at R.V. Ivanov-Razumnik's in Detskoe Selo, where he was associated with V.Y. Shishkov, A.N. Tolstoy, K.S. Petrov-Vodkin, and others. Bely's recollections, The Beginning of the Century (Moscow; Leningrad, 1933), Between Two Revolutions (Leningrad, 1934) has a broad description of St. Petersburg - Petrograd culture life. He lived at 24 Liteiny Avenue (1905); 66 Nevsky Prospect (1905-06); 35 Tavricheskaya Street (1912; 1920-21), in The House of Arts (1920); in Tsarskoe Selo (Pushkin) - at 20 Kolpinskaya Street (1917).

Graduated from the Leningrad Dramatics School in 1926. In 1919-21, worked as a mime at the Petrograd Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre, and in 1922-25, an artist at the Petrograd Studio of Young Ballet (among his parts is Don Quixote in L.F. Minkus's ballet of the same name). Caught the public's attention in productions by the Dramatics School as a brilliant character actor and dynamically expressive comedy actor mainly inclined toward eccentric transformation (Sir Andrew in W. Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Rabourdin in The heirs of Rabourdin by E. Zola, Pat in the mock dance Pat, Patachon and Charlie Chaplin, which he performed for many years on various stages, and which was filmed). The same qualities characterised Cherkasov's work at the Leningrad Young Spectators' Theatre (1926-29; Don Quixote in A.Y. Brustein and B.V. Zon's play of the same name; father Moor in The Robbers by F. Schiller; Zvezdintsev in The Fruits of Culture by N. Tolstoy), at the travelling Kosmoglaz Theatre of New Operetta (1927-28), throughout Leningrad and Moscow music-halls, circuses in the Moscow and Volga region (1929-30), and as part of the Leningrad Travelling Comedy Theatre (1931-33). In 1934-65, he acted at the Leningrad Academic Drama Theatre (see Alexandrinsky Theatre), where he brilliantly created the comic characters of Varlaam in Alexander Pushkin's Boris Godunov (1934 and 1949), Osip in The Inspector General by N.V. Gogol (1936 and 1952), and Bulanov in The Forest by A.N. Ostrovsky (1936). Other significant roles included Peter the Great in A.N. Tolstoy's play Peter I (1938), Don Quixote in Don Quixote (1941) and Khludov in Flight (1958) by M.A. Bulgakov, Ivan the Terrible in Great Prince by V.A. Solovyev (1945), and Baron in The Miserly Knight by Alexander Pushkin (1962). Found success as a clown, abandoned this specialisation, and began rotating between characters of "historical" and "socially heroic" natures (Dronov in Everything Remains for the People by S.I. Aleshin; for the theatre in 1959, on film in 1963). He began appearing in films in 1927, playing over 40 parts, including Kolka Loshak in Hectic Days (1935), Paganel in Captain Grant's Children (1936), Professor Polezhaev in Baltic Deputy and Prince Alexey in Peter the First (1937), Alexander Nevsky in Alexander Nevsky (1938), Ivan the Terrible in Ivan the Terrible (1945), and Don Quixote in Don Quixote (1957). From 1948, and for the rest of his life, he was the chairman of the Leningrad Department of the All-Union Theatre Society. A major part of Cherkasov's works and recollections about him are collected in the book Nikolay Cherkasov (Moscow, 1976). He won the Stalin Prize (1941, 1946, 1950, and 1951), the Lenin Prize (1964), a prize at the Moscow Film Festival in Stratford, Canada (1958), and the Grand Prix of the International Exhibition in Paris (1937). He lived at 27 Kronverkskaya Street (memorial plaque installed) from 1944 until 1966. Buried at Necropolis of Artists. A new street in the Vyborgsky District was named after Cherkasov in 1970.

Moliere, Truffaldino in The Servant of Two Masters by C. Goldoni (1921). His most recognized achievements are considered the creation of characters from modern plays: Rasputin in The Plot of the Empress by A.N. Tolstoy and P.E. Shchegolev and Ruzaev in The Rebellion by B. A. Lavreneva (1925), Granatov in A Man with a Brief Case by A.M. Faiko (1928), Egor Bulychov in Egor Bulychov and others by M. Gorky (1932). In 1928 he began acting in films.
