Čeněk Jirsák and Antonín Bejval remained in the field

Although it seems that the earth has collapsed after them, in reality they are still in the acting world, albeit in a different way. Jaroslav Powerwho played a rascal Čenka Jirsák, graduated from FAMU and continued to devote himself to screenwriting and directing. At the same time, he got into the spotlight completely by accident. Before that, he already played in the TV series Arabela, for which he auditioned only as an escort for his sister, who, unlike him, was ultimately not cast by director Václav Vorlíček.

However, the very first acting opportunity was a role Antonin Bejval for Štěpán Benyovszký, to whom the series Bylo nas five gave a life direction. He became him theater director and dramaturg. He first worked in a Prague ensemble Cabaret Caligula and today he is in the Dekkadancers dance troupe. He put acting on the back burner. He appeared, for example, in the movie Everything Will Happen (2018) as a policeman or in the third episode of the series North (2019).
