Upon returning to the Czech Republic, he became involved in music and media, playing and singing in several bands, some of which he founded.

His acting career took off in 2020 with the crime series “Místo zločinu Ostrava.” He gained further recognition for his role as a one-eyed mobster in the successful miniseries “Devadesátky” (2022) and as a neighbor in the series “Táta v nesnázích” (2023).
