Contacted by MOLDPRES, the director of the Satiricus I.L. Caragiale National Theatre, Alexandru Grecu, said that each part played by actor Ion Grosu had personality. Grecu noted that Grosu plays inspired secondary parts, just as major parts, parts full of dramatic burden, as well as easy parts, in comical hypostases, in which he feels at large, improvising with much fun and savour. Ion Grosu also played in short-reel feature films, in Radio and TV programmes and plays, especially in entertainment ones.
