Marcel Iures ,actor

" I met Marcel Iures after his great  success
in the movie ''Dying for loving the life''   script by Anghel Mora and directed by Mircea Veroiu.

 Let's say that at that  time  Marcel Iures talent was already clearly stated also his ability to create characters atypical.

From 1978 to 1981 he acted at the National Theatre, Cluj, in numerous roles .In The Theater Bulandra -Bucharest, distributed in major roles like in "The Cabal of bigots'' by Mihail Bulgakov, show signed by Alexandru Tocilescu, ''Garcin ''in a play by Jean-Paul Sartre, directed by  Măniuţiu Mihai (1982) and Tom in The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams idirected by  Ioan Taub (1982) (Iureş entered the'' Institutul de Arta Teatrala si Cinematografica in Bucharest''' in 1974 and graduated in 1978.)
