As a member of the Slovak acting "dynasty" that span three generations to date,[5][9][10] Kroner himself has received numerous nominations in his native country, including two LitFond Awards for Performing Arts in Drama, as well two television-focused OTO Awards as TV Male Actor, respectively. Amongst others, he is the only son of Ján Kroner, or rather a nephew of Jozef Kroner.

Filmography

Summarize
Perspective

I was a first-year student on elementary school in Považská Bystrica, when amateur actors came to our school to play The Salt Prince fairytale. My father played the King. He was very funny, I remember [that] all children would have a good laugh of him. So I'd wished for all the children to know [that] the King was my father. No one would believe me, though, and I felt too badly for that."[11]
