He then spent two seasons at the South Bohemian Theatre, and from 2016 to 2019, he was a member of the Drama ensemble of the National Theatre in Prague. He is currently a freelance artist, making guest appearances on prominent Czech stages. Besides acting, he has built a strong profile as a successful screenwriter. He has contributed to series such as Gympl s (r)učením omezeným, Kriminálka Anděl, Ohnivý kuře, Modrý kód, and Sestřičky. He has also appeared as an actor in several television series, including Slunečná, Eliška a Damián, and Zrádci.
