I play my roles with the great commitment. I am an actor, director, producer, screenwriter and painter, musician, singer and human rights believer… I have portrayed a wide range of characters in many films and TV shows during my career. I am a hard worker and I love to inspire and I love to be inspired. Learning is my passion. Experience is what I value the most.
Jan es magnífico, es alguien mitad del cine mudo norteamericano, mitad Tintin, tiene algo muy especial, parece un personaje salido de una película de Chaplin, o de Jacques Tati . Me encanta Jan Budar, su cuerpo, su voz, su trabajo desde la reducción. A él le gusta mucho el trabajo desde el despojamiento. Jan es guionista y músico y la música está en su forma de moverse. En mi cine el sonido tiene mucha importancia, pero es un sonido anclado también en el mudo, por la música que hay detrás de las imágenes y los cuerpos. Jan es un excelente bailarín, y un gran pianista, y todo eso se ve en su forma de trabajar.
Jan is magnificent, he is someone who is half an american silent film, half Tintin, he has something very special, he looks like a character out of a Chaplin movie, or Jacques Tati… I love Jan Budar, his body, his voice, his work from reduction. He really likes the work from the stripping. Jan is a screenwriter and musician and music is in his way of moving. In my cinema, sound is very important, but it is a sound also anchored in the silent, by the music behind the images and bodies. Jan is an excellent dancer, and a great pianist, and all of this can be seen in the way he works.
