Matěj Hádek

Actor · Born November 29, 1975 (50) · Praha, Československo

Matěj Hádek patří mezi nejvýraznější talenty mladší herecké generace. Jeho první velkou filmovou příležitostí byla role Tédy ve filmu Ivana Vojnára Cesta pustým lesem (1997). Vytvořil řadu zajímavých charakterů v televizních filmech (Malovaný děti, Pátek čtrnáctého, Z rodinného alba). On sám si nejvíce cení role Pajdy ve filmu Jiřího Svobody Udělení milosti se zamítá.A také jeho nezaměněná role mladého "hooligana" ve filmu Non Plus Ultras. Matěje si lidé často pletou s jeho mladším bratrem Kryštofem, který hrál například v Tmavomodrém světě. Matěj Hádek je ale herec o něco starší, i když ze stejné generace. Má za sebou zkušenosti ostříleného herce. Posuďte sami: vystudoval Státní konzervatoř v Praze, hrál v Divadle na Vinohradech, Kašparu, Divadle F. X. Šaldy v Liberci i ve Východočeském divadle Pardubice. například k jeho filmům patří ještě: pohádka Elixír a Halíbela, Vetřelci v Coloradu, Mazaný Filip, I ve smrti sami, seriálu Dobrá čtvrť, Náves. K jeho větším rolím ve filmech patří role Knappa ve filmu Maharal - Tajemství talismanu. Ve filmu Tobruk si zahrál vojína Zrzka. Pokud budete chtít Matěje vidět v divadle, jeho nejnovější inscenací jsou Cizinci ve vlaku ve Švandově divadle. Též hraje například v Maškarádě, Její Pastorkyni, Brýlích Eltona Johna a v mnoha jiných. Matěje si lidé často pletou s jeho mladším bratrem Kryštofem, který hrál například v Tmavomodrém světě.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
