wanted him to become a priest. However he managed to finish a
technical college and for some time he earned his living as a building
designer. He never attended any school of dramatic art. His
enthusiastic passion for theatre brought him to make some acting
attempts on the amateurish stage. Later he began to perform in various
road show theatre companies. Still later he successively became a

still from time to time performed on Vinohrady's stage as a
guest-actor till his last and final appearance before the public in
1997.Thanks to his impressive masculine stature, handsome face with
expressive eyes, along with charming manners heightened by a pleasant
and resonant voice he, at first, impersonated various lover
characters. As he aged, he began to adapt to more various roles, thus
starting his career as a classical actor, appearing subsequently in
