The young Filipovský was interested in acting from an early age and began performing in theatre in the 1930s, with stints in Emil František Burian's Voice-band, as well as Osvobozené divadlo. Among other engagements, he worked as stage director in Jára Kohout's Divadlo U Nováků in 1939, later moving to Švandovo divadlo, and eventually holding a post at Prague's National Theatre.
Throughout his career, Filipovský acted in numerous Czechoslovak films and television productions, as well as lending his voice to various dubbing projects.[3]
