Vladimír Pucholt (born 30 December 1942) is a Czech- Canadian actor and physician. [1]
Life
Vladimír Pucholt was born in Prague, in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (present-day Czech Republic). His father was a lawyer. He was not allowed to study medicine so he became an actor. [1] After acting in supporting roles in a few films he gained fame as Čenda in Miloš Forman's Black Peter. His next films, Starci na chmelu and Loves of a Blonde, turned him to one of the most famous young actors in Czechoslovakia. At the height of his popularity he decided to emigrate to the United Kingdom to study medicine. [2] He was admitted to study at the University of Sheffield thanks to a recommendation letter by the film director Lindsay Anderson. [3] The writer John Le Carré lent him money for tuition. [4] He graduated with a degree in medicine from Sheffield in 1974. In 1981 he moved to Canada where he worked as a paediatrician until his retirement. [1]
