He was born in Nová Včelnice to Hermina Červičková and Rudolf Hrušinský (original name Rudolf Böhm, also took the stage name Otomar Otovalský). He was born, literally, back stage during a showing of the play Taneček panny Marinky.

Initially he starred in minor plays, but managed to escalate to famous film roles, many of which won him fame abroad
