Known for his versatile portrayals of emotionally vulnerable characters with strong senses of moral justice,[1] Lečić rose to prominence for his role as the rebellious Crni in twelve-episode mini-series Sivi dom (1986).

His portrayal was praised by critics, including Slaven Ivanović, Gavrilo Milivojević, Savo Milosavljević, Dragan Bajetić and Goran Jovanović,[3][4][5] the latter expressing concern that Lečić would be typecast as a young and liberal rebel.

Starring with acting titans Bata Živojinović and Dragan Nikolić, Lečić became a household name[7][8] and the role is now considered legendary in the Balkans.

In 2002, he starred in Labyrinth, which gained him an Apollo Award at the Novi Sad Culture and Theatre Festival for Outstanding Achievement in a Motion Picture.

[10] In 2003, he amassed a leading role as Serbian-language and literature professor Teodor "Teda" Kraj in The Professional (2003), which gained universal critical plaudits, including praise from Jasmina Ahmetagić and Muharem Pervić.

[citation needed] He also portrayed captain Tasić in St. George Shoots the Dragon (2008), starring with Lazar Ristovski, Zoran Cvijanović and Bora Todorović.

[citation needed] Lečić also provided his vocals and dramatic interpretation for Bubamara, a Serbian-language ballad recorded with Montenegrin singer-songwriter Knez.

After the death of its founder and long-term leader Vladan Batić due to prolonged and progressive cancerous illness, Lecic was elected DHSS party president.
