He returned to Bucharest in 1964, first to the Giulești Theater, then to the Small Theater, so that from 1968 he became an actor of the National Theater "I. L. Caragiale”, and since 2002 as an honorary member.

He had played in countless plays throughout his career, including "The Enigma of Otilia", "King Lear", "Richard III", "Who Needs Theater", "Orpheus in Hell", "Swallow", "Bloody Lovers”, “Saturday, Sunday, Monday” etc.[2] He has collaborated on several Radio and TV theater performances; long filmographic activity.
