Marius Costea's transition through the Oradea State Theatre was almost meteoric, as he was from Oradea, the management hoped that he would settle here. It is true that, after only a year, he stayed in Oradea, but he changed his profession, opting for Vama Borş. Compared to the income of a novice actor, it is true that the new job, from a material point of view, obviously offered him more satisfaction. The question is whether he did not continue to suffer from not acting anymore, missing the stage. Judging by the fact that he has not tried a "return to his first love" since then, we deduce that the young man has definitively left the world of the stage... Handsome, well-made (we had no way of telling if he had talent or not!), he was noticed in the show "Tache, Ianke și Cadâr" by VIPopa, in the role of young Ionel. Together with Monalisa Basarab (Ana), they formed a harmonious couple - in a show billed as "good, devoid of unnecessary fantasies". As for a small role in the show "Aproape o pădure" by Ana Ripka Rus, he was only doing his best to execute the unfortunately aberrant directorial instructions.
