Born in the village of Chong-Tash, Chokmorov initially pursued a career in the fine arts, graduating from the Leningrad Academy of Arts in 1964. He shifted to acting in his late twenties, making his film debut in Bolotbek Shamshiyev's A Shooting at the Karash Pass (1968). His screen presence and minimalist acting style quickly made him a frequent collaborator for leading Central Asian directors.
Chokmorov starred in several high-profile adaptations of Chingiz Aitmatov's literary works, including Jamilya (1968), The Ferocious One (1973), and The Red Apple (1975). He also appeared in regional action-dramas such as The Seventh Bullet (1972) and gained international exposure by playing a supporting role in Akira Kurosawa’s Oscar-winning Soviet-Japanese co-production Dersu Uzala (1975).
Throughout his career, Chokmorov balanced his work between film sets and his art studio, continuing to paint portraits and landscapes alongside his cinematic activities until his death in 1992.
