Czech actor Stanislav Majer, known for his roles in film, television and theater – and recently winning a Czech Lion Award for Best Supporting Actor in the 2024 film *Vlny* – is the new face of Volvo in the Czech Republic.
The actor revealed his partnership with Cardion Cars, a Volvo retailer, by becoming an ambassador for the brand in the Czech Republic.
Majer unveiled the collaboration in a playful video posted to social media, showcasing his acting skills as he recounts a fictional story of how he acquired the vehicle. The short film playfully references a classic Czech comedy featuring a car that’s constantly being polished.
