He made his cinema debut in Dinu Cocea's The Outlaws / Haiducii in 1966 and played in major films of the 70s and 80s such as Dan Pița's Filip the Kind / Filip cel bun (1975) and Contest / Concurs (1982), or Manole Marcus's The Actor and the Savages / Actorul și sălbaticii (1975)  and Operation Monster / Operațiunea Monstrul (1976, all of them produced by Romania Film).

The last feature film he made was Amen (2002) by Costa-Gavras, which was shot in Romania. In 2007 he started a long collaboration with the TV, playing in five TV series.

His career in the theatre was far richer. He played for a long time at the National Theatre in Bucharest, where he was hired in 1971. For six years he taught acting at the Theatre and Film Institute Ion Luca Caragiale.
