Encyclopedia
Kryštof Hádek is a Czech actor.
A talented young actor was surrounded by art since his childhood, when, as well as his two brothers (Ondřej, born 1974, physician, and Matěj, born 1975, actor) attended the music classes in the People's School of Art. But he began to take it seriously at age of eleven, when his mother, journalist and film director Jana Hádková, persuade him to join the Disman children's radio company.
Soon after, he began to study acting at the Prague Conservatory, from which he was expelled in the fourth year. The reason for the leaving school was high amount of absences, which originated when Hádek began actively pursue acting while still studying. In 2003-2004 he studied a year and a half at the London Academy of Music and Drama Art.

(by Jan Svěrák
, 2001), in which had the opportunity to show his acting talent as Sergeant Karel Vojtíšek. For rendering of the young airman was Hádek in 2001 nominated for Czech Lion
(the highest film award in the Czech Republic) for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
In addition, he also appeared in several TV movies (e.g. The life of teenager, 2000, Black Tears, 2002) and series (e.g. Ghosts among us, 2000). On the big screen again in 2002 showed in the movie Trip (by Alice Nellis) and then in 2006 in the film Experts (directed by Karel Coma), in which he played the leading role of a young man named Oskar.
Another huge success came with a movie 3 Seasons in Hell
(2009), where he played young bohemian, extravagand Czechoslovak poet and for which he received the Czech Lion award for the leading role.
