In 1960 he was seen at the side of Heinz Rühmann in the film The Black Sheep . From 1961 he also began working for television and was seen in several television films such as Hamlet and the television series Alarm in der Berge .

In 1967 he got his first frivolous role as a tensioner in the classic film To the point, sweetheart . With the film Eros Center Hamburg , he began to act in erotic films, where he played a small door star.

He was first seen in an erotic series in the 1969 film Graf Porno and the Daughters Thirsty for Love. In 1970 he played in the theater film adaptation by Volker Schlöndorff Baal , which aroused the discontent of the Brecht heiress Helene Weigel , which prevented further screenings or broadcasts.

Also in 1970, Buzalski, now more or less focused on drunkards and bums, played supporting roles in three episodes of the crime series Der Kommissar . This was followed by appearances in films such as Hausfrauen-Report (1970) and Ludwig - Requiem for a Virgin King (1972) until he appeared in 1973 in the films Liebesgrüße aus der Lederhose and Let itch, Buddy Part 2 - The Bullenkloster .

Among his more important films is the film Hitler, a film from Germany from 1978 in which he took on the following roles: Hitler as a house painter, Eva Braun puppeteer and man of society in 1923.

His last film appearance followed in The Leading Actor , in which he played a drunk again. Two friends in Tyrol by Alois Brummer from 1978, is often referred to as Buzalski's last film, but it is a combination of several old recordings.

He used several pseudonyms such as Horst Budzalski, Johann Buzalski, H. Buzalsky, Hannes Buzalsky, Horst Buzalsky and Johannes Buzalsky to work in film.
