For a while he worked as a soldier in aviation, but his real passion was theater and acting, so in 1949 he started his stage activity with the Army Theater and after a year, in 1950, he continued his career as an actor in the People's Theater. The role of Shpend Gjeto Plaku in the drama "Halili and Hajria" (1950) by K. Jakovo will be the first. A role with which the later legend of our stage stood out with his talent, paving the way for other roles in the future, for me 30 years on the stage within the time frame 1951-1987, the year he retired but continued to act . He has hundreds of roles in his career, standing out as one of the best actresses on the stage alongside other theater masters.

Kraja, he played the role of Baca, with the troupe of the "Migheni" Theater ” in Shkodër, a brave, dignified, restrained mountaineer, where a strong dramatic direction is also present. Luca was an actor, who operated with different interpretive plans, as comic as tragic, as heroic as ordinary, as in strong and sublime tones, as soft, "ordinary" and very human. He had a characteristic voice, often killing and shrill, when he played especially negative roles, violent, wild people , criminal etc. The legend Ndreke Luca went so far as to resize and "break" from time to time the preliminary model of the natural personal data, the self-conscious character of the characters he played.

Completely opposite characters in terms of temperament, behavior, energy, rhythm and speech. In 1969, he creates the character of Gjin in " Plage te veda", an honest, big-hearted peasant, but who was burdened with old and inhibiting prejudices in favor of women's abilities and merits in life. Pjeter Mustakuqi in the film "Operation fire" is another of his acting forms in which Ndreke Luce's acting is enhanced. With this skillfully interpreted role, he proved his ability especially in terms of facial expression wisdom figurative gesture, plastic and other means of visual identification of the character. Countless roles if we count the theatrical ones as well. He remains one of the most successful in the application of grotesque forms in acting, both in Theater and Film. In addition to being an actor, he has also written several dramas such as "Votra e huej"; "White"; "Andrra ne diell", but which achieved success with the drama "Shate shaljanet", 1959, was staged by the troupe of the People's Theater.
