Czechoslovakian and Czech actor Alois Shveglik died at the age of 86. This was announced on April 2 by the National Theatre in Prague.

Shveglik was born on July 30, 1939 in Pardubice. Since 1988, the actor has been a member of the troupe of the National Drama Theater.

"For over 35 years, he has been one of the most prominent figures in the acting troupe of the Czech National Theatre," the publication said.

The actor has appeared in more than 150 films and TV projects. His filmography includes such famous works as "The Three Musketeers" (1982), where he played Athos, "Liberation of Prague", "Arabella Returns", "The Visit of an old Lady" and many others.

It is noted that Shveglik was also known as a dubbing actor: he voiced foreign actors for the Czech audience, including Charles Bronson, Anthony Hopkins, Robert De Niro and Burt Lancaster.
