Zdeněk Svěrák

Zdeněk Svěrák is a beloved Czech cultural icon known for his witty humor and multi-talented career as a screenwriter, actor, lyricist, and playwright. Born in 1936 in Prague, he co-created the legendary fictional character Jára Cimrman alongside collaborator Ladislav Smoljak, sparking a decades-long phenomenon of absurdist theater and storytelling that’s become a cornerstone of Czech humor. Beyond theater, Svěrák’s playful lyrics and collaboration with composer Jaroslav Uhlíř have produced countless catchy, family-friendly songs, many of which appear on albums like *Ty Nejlepší Písničky V Novém Kabátě* and *Vánoční a noční sny*. His Oscar-winning screenplay for the film *Kolya* (1996) and his acting roles in classics like *The Elementary School* further cemented his status as a national treasure. Whether he’s crafting quirky tunes or heartfelt stories, Svěrák’s work radiates warmth, wit, and a distinctly Czech charm.
