Jaroslav Havlicek
Czech author, one of the most important representatives of domestic psychological prose. Jaroslav Havlicek graduated from the Czech Technical University in Prague and fought in the First World War. He eventually died as a result of physical exhaustion and meningitis. His work is set in a small town at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and depicts human fate and degeneration. Most naturalistically, he describes the mental states of disturbed people and other extreme situations. Several films have been made based on his novels. For example, the Kerosene Lamps, or the Curse of the House of Hajn.
Jiří Schwarz
The Czech actor Jiří Schwarz was born into an artistic family and therefore attended a drama club from childhood. When he first got in front of the camera, it led him to study at the Prague Conservatory, where he also graduated. His first permanent engagement was the State Theatre in Ostrava. After he returned to Prague, he anchored in today's Švandovo Theatre. He can be seen regularly on TV screens, mostly in fairy tales and TV productions. His most important role is also, according to his words, the film MÁG, where he plays the poet K. H. Macha. He is one of the most popular personalities in dubbing.
