He comes from an artistic family, father Ladislav Trojan and younger brother Ivan are Czech actors. After graduating from the FAMU in Prague in 1991, he made his debut with the film Let's Sing a Song by screenwriters Jan Hřebejko and Petr Jarchovský. The second feature film was the very successful film Želary based on the short story by Jozova Hanula by Květa Legátová, which was nominated eleven times for the Czech Lion Award as well as the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Oscar. In 2010, Trojan directed and produced his third film, an Identity Card. In 2018, he released his fourth film, Toman, in cinemas. He focuses on theater directing and acting in the legendary Prague Theater Sklep. Together with Tomáš Hanák and Jiří Fero Burda, they founded their own production and trading company Total HelpArt T.H.A.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
