Actor, artistic director

Date and place of birth: 21.01.1932, Giurgiu

Studies: Institute of Theatrical and Cinematographic Art "ILCaragiale" Bucharest, 1955, class of prof. Al. Finți

He started as a fresh graduate, at the Galati Theater, and in 1957 he came to Oradea, together with director Valeriu Moisescu and the return of Radu Penciulescu, where he would remain until the summer of 1968. He played several important roles, or less, his heart and qualities urging him especially towards directing. After directing, together with Radu Penciulescu, the excellent show "The Ciocarlia" by Jean Anouilh, he dedicated himself to this discipline, signing the artistic direction of fifteen more premieres: "The Roosters" by Al. Kirițescu, "The Mad Lamb" by Aurel Baranga, "People and Shadows" by Ştefan Berciu, "View from the Bridge" by Arthur Miller, etc. 

Having left for Bucharest, he became the director of the "Casandra" Theater and Film Actor's Studio, where he participated in the "birth" of over thirty new actors and directors. Initially retired, he was recalled to this position, for which he received, in 2004, the Uniter Gala Excellence Award for his work in this important institution (UNITER President's Special Award).
