about me
My passion is drama and I am constantly looking for ambitious timers, interesting projects - including corporate commissioned films - and roles that add something to my experience.
Since 2016 until now I play main or supporting roles in student films (also internationally) and small roles in large portions and series
After I discovered the joy of acting in front of the camera in 2015 after working as a professional training actor for 25 years. Delivering credible and consistent behavior in a realistic setting was my core competence.
In the 80s - after the Theater School in Warsaw (directing) - I mainly directed and taught.
