Jaroslav Satoranský

Biography

Původně se vyučil rytcem, ale zároveň začal hrát amatérsky divadlo, což jej následně přivedlo ke studiím na DAMU v Praze. Po absolutoriu oboru herectví (1961) nastoupil do Divadla J. Průchy v Kladně (1963-1966), odkud pak přešel do Vinohradského divadla v Praze (1966). V divadle dostal řadu příležitostí, především v klasickém repertoráru (Macbeth, Král Lear, Maryša, Strakonický dudák, Legenda o lásce).  Před filmovou kamerou se Satoranský objevil poprvé v dětské detektivce ZPÍVAJÍCÍ PUDŘENKA (1959), o něco větší roli pak dostal v rodinném psychologickém dramatu s propagandistickým podtextem OSENÍ (1960). Po několika dalších filmech pak dostal hlavní roli v hudební komedii BYLO NÁS DESET (1963); na hodnotách tohoto kdysi populárního filmu zapracoval neúprosný čas. V průběhu šedesátých let pak Satoranský hrál menší role v řadě dalších filmů, komediích i dramatech, například jen v roce 1967 hrál v pěti snímcích. Od konce 60. let se pak objevoval také v televizních seriálech, jedním z těch prvních byla ZÁHADA HLAVOLAMU (1969), následoval například F. L. VĚK (1971). Nadále točil také filmy, ale jedná se dnes již o zapomenuté snímky. Těžiště jeho práce spočívá především v televizi, která mu především velkými rolemi v seriálech NEJMLADŠÍ Z RODU HAMRŮ (1975) a INŽENÝRSKÁ ODYSEA (1979) přinesla obrovskou popularitu, byť diskutabilní vzhledem ke společenské angažovanosti těchto děl a také časově omezenou. Za roli Jana Hamra dostal v roce 1976 televizní cenu Zlatého krokodýla. Naopak nadčasovou hodnotu vytvořil Jaroslav Satoranský svou účastí v dodnes slavném večerníčku KRKONOŠSKÉ POHÁDKY (1974). Ve filmu se objevil naposledy jako policista v dětské detektivce TŘETÍ SKOBA PRO KOCOURA (1983), od té doby pracoval výhradně pro televizi. Hrál v seriálech, pohádkách a televizních inscenacích, za zmínku stojí historické příběhy PŘÍPAD AUFFENBERG (1993) nebo MISIE (1994), v nichž hrál hlavní role. V poslední době jsme Jaroslava Satoranského mohli vidět například v oblíbeném seriálu ČETNICKÉ HUMORESKY (1997).

The loose series of detective stories featuring Jan Kanyza as Major Bohuslav continues with another story. As the title suggests, it is once again about murder, but not of an ordinary domestic animal, but of "two-legged cats": models, photographic models, and above all unsuccessful high school students, girls who are extremely charming but also unhappy, superficial, and egotistical, who only want to gain and take in life, whether it be love, prosperity, or money. With her frivolous and cynical approach to life, she managed to make many enemies, which ultimately proved fatal for her.
