After graduating as an actor in The National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts in 1966, he started working with the Varna Theater where he has stayed for five years.

The first films featuring him are Ponedelnik sutrin / Monday Morning (1966) and The Swedish Kings (1968).

This satirical comedy turned him and his character in "Trade Mark" for the Bulgarian film art.

He continued filming as well as performing on the stage of the theater during the next two decades leaving fadeless trail with his roles such as his remarkable performance in the film classic from 1972 - The Boy Turns Man.

The miserable economic and culture conditions in the country during the 1990s had an awful effect on the film industry as well as on the actors living standard.
