Jirí Krampol(1938-2025)

He was considered for the part of Frantisek Koudelka in Jáchyme, hod ho do stroje! (1974), eventually played by Ludek Sobota.

[on Parta hic (1977)] I told myself, for Christ's sake, what am I going to do about it, such a crap about miners drinking milk. But back then it wasn't easy to turn down some roles, especially those that were closely watched by the regime. It was incredible fun during the filming, but it was a terrible film for us at the time. When we met Petr Nározný or the director Hynek Bocan afterwards, we agreed that to this day we are still ashamed of it.
