In 2017, he played role of Dr. Andrey Richter in Doctor Richter, a Russian remake of the American medical drama series, House. In that same year, he also played in the historical fantasy feature film Furious.

In 2014, Serebryakov performed in one of his most important roles to date—the lead role of Kolya in Andrei Zvyagintsev's internationally acclaimed drama Leviathan.

In March 2012, Serebryakov emigrated to Canada with his family, citing corruption and political unrest in Russia as barriers to raising his children.

He performed in Lenkom Theatre between 2009 and 2012.

In the 1990s, Aleksei kept playing in films. In particular, he took part in the film Afghan Breakdown (1990) that was directed by Vladimir Bortko. He also starred in the 1990 film Accidental Waltz, for which he won the best actor prize at the Locarno Film Festival. His another important work was a role in Sergey Livnov's 1994 drama "Hammer and Sickle".

In 1986, he graduated from the Lunacharsky State Institute of Theatrical Art, where he went to the acting school of Oleg Tabakov, after which he played for several years at the Moscow Theatre-Studio "Tabakerka" directed by Oleg Tabakov. In 1991, he left the theater.

After graduating from GITIS, Serebryakov starred in several films, including Silent Outpost (1986) and Accused of the Wedding (1986), and some others. He gained wide popularity due to his main character as a criminal fighter in Vladimir Feoktistov's movie Fan (1989).
