In 1971, he graduated from the Academy of Theater and Film Arts with an acting degree, and almost immediately after obtaining his degree, he could be seen in famous roles.
His career began at the capital's Operetta Theater, where he played between 1971-1973 and 1976-1981, then in 1973 he transferred to the József Attila Theater. In addition to theaters, he also conquered the boards of the opera house, performing at the Hungarian State Opera House between 1981 and 1988. In 1988, he became an artist of the Katona József Theater in Kecskemét, and in 1989 of the Csokonai Theater in Debrecen.
