Born in Ostrava, Čejka began his career as a dancer at 17 years old, and starting from the 1960s he was a member of the National Theatre Ballet.[1][2] He later became popular thanks to television, performing as a mime in comical sketches; his best known performance was the imitation of the hen, that he performed for the first time in a 1977 New Year's Eve TV special.[1][2] He was also active as a comedy film actor, starring in about two dozen films.[1]
In 2007 Čejka received a Thalia Award for his career. In his later years he lived in a retirement home. Affected by Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, he died on 11 October 2022, at the age of 86.[1][2]
