He had a dream of being an actor, but his first job was that of a metal worker at a Moscow factory. During the season of 1938-39, Pugovkin, still an amateur actor, gained attention among professionals due to his highly unusual talent as comedian.

He spent several months recuperating, and eventually re-gained his mobility and became able to work as an actor again.
In 1943, he applied to the Acting Studio of Moscow Art Theatre (MKhAT), although he neither had a high school diploma, nor any formal education.
