His first encounter with the film industry took place in 1983. In Bucharest, Sergiu Nicolaescu was in the midst of working on the production “August 23, 1944″—a project that would later evolve into two separate films, “D-Day” (*Ziua Z*) and “The Mirror” (*Oglinda*). The renowned director gave a small role—consisting of a few lines—to the late Mircea Albulescu and to a young Eugen Neagu. The shoot lasted several days, though, unfortunately, Neagu went uncredited, and some of the footage was ultimately cut during the editing process. That moment sparked a sudden, decisive resolution: to become a part of the film industry.
