He was born back stage at the theatre in Nová Včelnice on 17 October 1920. His parents were Hermina Červičková and Rudolf Hrušínský (born Rudolf Böhm). His family moved from place to place, but eventually settled in Prague. He studied law school, but dropped out of to pursue acting. Initially he starred in minor plays, but managed to escalate to famous film roles, many of which won him fame abroad. He spent most of his theatrical career in Czech National Theatre. In 1968 he signed The Two Thousand Words manifesto. As a result he wasn't allowed to star in movies or in theatres until 1976.

Director Jiří Menzel planned to make a West German TV series adaptation of Good Soldier Švejk with Hrušínský in the titular role, however they didn't get the permission from the Czechoslovak government.[1]

After the Velvet Revolution he entered the Parliament as a member of Civic Forum. His sons Rudolf Hrušínský jr. and Jan Hrušínský are both actors.

He died in 1994 and is buried in Olšany Cemetery, Prague.
