伊戈爾·維塔利耶維奇·基基凱勒於1965年10月8日出生於俄羅斯莫斯科。年輕的伊戈爾對電影和表演有很大興趣,但也喜歡運動。後來他進入莫斯科州立體育學院學習體操、足球、溜冰和滑雪,並以一名蘇聯的運動健將身份從那裡畢業。與此同時,他還學習戲劇、武術和雜技,並在莫斯科州立劇院表演舞台劇。
1989年伊戈爾隨劇院到美國旅行表演,但是他的經紀人捲走所有錢消失了,24歲的伊戈爾身無分文流落街頭,但仍決心留下來發展。從此他的生活便如他曾在舞台上表演的一些人物一樣忙碌混亂,他挺過三次糟糕的婚姻,後來他來到拉斯維加斯的馬戲團做雜技演員,在那裡找到了新的經紀,並以“俄羅斯熊”的綽號在拉斯維加斯成名。
2000年之後他前往好萊塢發展,並在那裡被星探發掘,開始出演電影中的反派。他在好萊塢最著名的作品即是《奪寶奇兵4》。
如今他同時在美國和俄羅斯參與影視劇。
