He performed in the theatre, where he displayed a talent for comedy, especially in plays by
Branislav Nu?i?
, his favourite author. However, it was the new medium of television that made him famous. From 1959 until the 1980s, he appeared in many TV comedy shows:
Servisna stanica
,
De?urna ulica
,
Spavajte mirno
,
Sa?ulatac
,
Crni sneg
,
Ljudi i papagaji
,
Ljubav na seoski na?in
(in which
Silvana Armenuli?
guest starred),
Kamiond?ije
and
Vru? vetar
.
?kalja retired in the late 1980s and spent his last years peacefully. His last public appearance was during the
DOS
election campaign in 2000 in the
overthrow of Slobodan Milo?evi?
.
In 2005, a statue of ?kalja was placed in front of his birth house in Kru?evac. In 2006, a street in the
Zvezdara
neighborhood in
Belgrade
was named after him.
