Bronislav Poloczek: A Look Back at the Life and Legacy of a Czech Acting Legend

Who does not know films like Černí baroni, Cena medu, series Hospoda, Ulice and others. Bronislav Poloczek shone in them as perhaps only he could. Still, his departure from this world was very sad, not surrounded by family and friends as might have been expected. On the contrary, he was left almost alone, but that didn’t bother him at all. When he died almost twelve years ago, it was actually a release for him.

Death of a beloved woman

“I’m not interested in anything anymore, I don’t want to play, I have no plans. I’m waiting for death,” he said in one of his last interviews for the daily Aha! With these words, he seemed to characterize how he lived the last moments of his life. You can’t call it anything else – survival, waiting for death. Then when the heart attack came, he could breathe a sigh of relief in a way. He breathed his last in the hospital on March 16, 2012.

He wasn’t always like that, only the tragedy he had to go through took away his zest for life. After all, when his beloved wife died, he seemed to have resigned to everything, he didn’t want to start anything, most of all he wanted to go see her.

Morous, who was destined for the roles of grunts

The fact is that Poloczek never enjoyed any kind of favor from his colleagues, he had only a few real friends. It was due to his nature, which many people claimed he must have cultivated. The theater and film actor paid for an incredible morouse who could spoil the mood wherever he went. Not because he was doing it on purpose, he was just like that by nature. And perhaps it was also because of this, he was basically destined to play the characters of grumblers and unpleasant guys.

“We respected his grumpiness, we knew that his wife’s death was responsible for it. But I liked him, it was nice to work with him,” said the legendary director Václav Vorlíček some time ago. In his film Saxana and the Lexicon of Charms, the burly actor made his last appearance as Mr. Vigo. Unfortunately, he did not have time to speak his part, so Oldřich Vlach lent him his voice in the film.

He was a hypochondriac and yelled at everyone

We can remind him often, there are indeed a number of films that could not do without him. And also the series Hospoda, in which he actually played a little bit himself. Tomáš Babula, an eternally rambling regular, sat comfortably on him. He played Jaroslava Obermaierová’s husband in the series Ulice, and not all colleagues remembered him well. “He ate half a plastic bag of pills, he was a hypochondriac. And then he yelled at everyone,” claimed Lumír Svoboda, his “son” from the endless series.

It was in Ulica that he tried his hand at a funeral, because he asked the screenwriters to let his character die. “I had to do it because I was preparing for a new theater role. And when I found out that it was an endless series, there was no other option,” said the actor.

However it may be with his nature and attitude towards others, one thing is certain. With his death, one of the last true acting bards left.
