Marcel Iures

Probably the most known Romanian movie actor is Marcel Iures. He was born in August 2nd 1951 in Bailesti, Dolj. He was part in Hollywood movies as "Interview With The Vampire"(1994), "Mission: Impossible"(1996), "The Pacemaker"(1997) or in the most interesting movie about football - "Goal!"(2005).

Being one of the VIP fans of Universitatea Craiova he was asked in 2014 by a TV reporter what is his opinion about CSU - the new football team of Craiova. His answer was as clear as possible: "Please don't ask me about CSU! For me there is only Stiinta (n.r. the nickname of Universitatea Craiova)."

Amza Pellea

One of the most important actors of Romanian theater lived in Craiova and was the director of National Theater from Craiova.

This is the most important Romanian movie: "Mihai Viteazul". It is a film about one of the most important Romanian heroes called "Michael The Brave". He did it for barley a year while the papist west and the saracen east tried to pull the country apart from all sides and he was assassinated for it.

Movila wanted to get Mihai killed if possible on behalf of Bathory. I really doubt a peaceful resolution could have come through. Mihai's actions were flawless and if he hadn't been assassinated he would have kept the country for many more years.
