Biography: Vlivem rodinné tradice se věnoval studiu hudby (kompozice a dirigování). Hrál již v němých filmech, později skládal také filmovou hudbu, psal filmové náměty a hrál hlavně větší i menší komické role. Bratr komika Ference Futuristy a hudebního skladatele Jiřího Julia F. Pocházel z umělecké rodiny: otec KAREL FIALA (1871-1931) a bratr FERENC FUTURISTA (1891-1947, vlastním jménem František Fiala) byli herci, bratranec JIŘÍ JULIUS FIALA (1892-1974) hudební skladatel. Sám se v mládí věnoval spíše vážné hudbě. Jako kapelník začal spolupracovat s kabarety Rokoko a Červená sedma a postupně se dostal k herectví. Poprvé se objevil ve filmu UČITEL ORIENTÁLNÍCH JAZYKŮ (1818). Za celý život vytvořil téměř dvě stovky rolí v němých a zvukových filmech, k řadě hraných filmů složil hudbu a písně. Často hrál hudebníky, skladatele, dirigenty a učitele hudby. Z větších postav je třeba uvést Emana Habáska z MUŽŮ V OFSAJDU (1931), Lojzíka Chrastila z BATALIONU (němý 1927, zvukový 1937) nebo Bianchiniho v PYTLÁKOVĚ SCHOVANCE (1949).
