Although he had the ability to play well and character roles, his own domain became a comic, especially author, based on his own texts and improvisation.

Since September 2010 he has been starring in the TV comedy series The District Revolution as Václav Orel, where he serves as chairman of TJ Slavoj Houslice club. He is married for the second time.
