biography

Born in 1982 in Prague, Kryštof Hádek was raised in a film and theater family. When he turned 11, Kryštof began working in radio and on stage, taking his first steps toward an acting career. He went on to study at the Prague National Conservatory, and at 18 was cast in Jan Sverák's award winning co-production, DARK BLUE WORLD (2001), for which he was nominated for a Czech Lion as Best Supporting Actor.
After completing a post-graduate year at The London Academy of Drama and Music in 2003, Kryštof returned to the stage in Prague. His film work includes a main role in the award-winning GRAPES (Tomas Barina, 2008) and numerous international projects including COSMOS (Diego Fandos, Spain, 2007), FLICKAN (Fredrik Edfeldt, Sweden, 2009), A SON'S WAR (Steven Edell, US , 2008), "Raw" (Irish TV, 12 episodes, 2008) and THREE SEASONS IN HELL (Tomás Masín, 2009).

Jury's comment: "Even as a teenager, Hádek possessed a sense of gravitas unusual for his youth. His choices in film roles have exhibited a similarly mature approach to establishing a serious film career, as he has deftly embraced challenging film roles that have become opportunities to showcase the range of his craft."
