It's Rudolf Hrušinský, he was one of the best czech actors. Cremator is one of his best roles, but the best is Schweik. He even gained all that weight for the role and never lost it, before Schweik he used to be thin. If you liked him in Cremator you may enjoy him in the movie version of Good Soldier Schweik (1957), where he does not play a madman but a fool/genius. The movies are considered classic in Czechia.
What's interesting is that both Cremator and Good Soldier Schweik are about how person gets mentally twisted by his surroundings - Koprfkingl in Cremator gets twisted by Nazi ideology, Schweik by life in Austria-Hungary.
Of course funnily enough Schweik is never described as being fat in the book itself, but the book has became synonymous with illustrations by Josef Lada (see the book cover in OP) and Lada drew him fat.
