Actor

Date and place of birth: 19.12.1960, Turnu Severin

Studies: Institute of Theater and Cinematography "ILCaragiale" Bucharest, 1984, class of prof. Olga Tudorache

While still a student, he played several important roles: Matei Boiu ("Strong Souls" by Camil Petrescu), Henry V and Richard III by Shakespeare, Tuzenbach ("Platonov" by A.P. Chekhov). He collaborated with Dragoş Galgoţiu, with whom, years later, he would collaborate admirably at the Odeon Theater, where he has been employed since leaving Oradea.

Physically pleasing, tall, athletic, blue eyes, blond, he is what is called a "successful specimen". But, much more importantly, he is intelligent, devotes a lot of time to reading and physical and mental training, he is very serious and hardworking. His debut in Oradea took place in the show "The Cursed Village" by Mircea Bradu, with a difficult role (Sculă-rea), an impeccably crafted composition: an authentic peasant, both stupid and cunning and evil, but also good, when necessary.

He then again stood out (the character Z) in the play "Apa" by Dumitru Solomon, directed by Victor Ioan Frunză, a play that was awarded the Grand Prize and the Director's Award at the Short Theatre Week (6th edition, 1984). Also under his guidance, he played a charming and humorous role, Fifi, in "Examen de bacalaureat" ("Fata morgana") by Dumitru Solomon. In the main role of Daniel Corban in the play "Capcana" by Robert Thomas (directed by Sergiu Savin), Dan Bădărău played with aplomb, with fantasy, leaving room for the mystery necessary in detective plays. A columnist observed that Dan Bădărău was an "energetic, temperamental" performer, with a nuanced performance. The actor did not deny it: with the same dedication, creativity, sensitivity, talent, intelligence and refinement, he continues to play large-scale roles at the Odeon Theater in Bucharest, in large-scale shows, signed by valuable directors such as Dragoş Galgoţiu, Alexandru Dabija, Alexander Hausvater, Mihai Măniuţiu, etc.
