His musical education gave him a strong foundation for the stage and screen alike. He starred in the film Barni: A Barnabás Ambrus film, playing the titular role of “Barni”.

On stage, he played the lead role of Danny Zuko in the Hungarian production of Grease (the musical). This was a landmark casting: at a young age he commanded the lead in a major youth-theatre adaptation and was praised for his energy, singing and charismatic presence.
