What's After the Movie
Zbigniew Zamachowski
Zbigniew Zamachowski, born on 17 July 1961 in Brzeziny near Łódź, is one of Poland's most celebrated actors, known for his versatility across film, theatre, and television. After graduating from the prestigious National Film School in Łódź, he launched his career in 1981 and quickly became a prominent figure in Polish cinema, earning acclaim for his nuanced performances and charismatic screen presence. His early break came with an appearance in Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Dekalog (1990), where he portrayed Artur in the poignant episode “Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Goods,” showcasing his ability to convey deep emotional complexity.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Zamachowski solidified his reputation with iconic roles such as Karol Karol in Kieślowski’s Three Colors: White (1993), a performance that highlighted his comic timing and heartfelt vulnerability. He later captured national recognition by winning the Polish Academy Award for Best Actor twice, first for his raw, intense portrayal in Robert Gliński’s Hi, Tereska (2001) and then for the introspective drama Zmróż oczy (2004). His filmography also includes notable collaborations with legendary directors like Andrzej Wajda (Walesa: Man of Hope, 2013) and Jerzy Hoffman (With Fire and Sword, 1999). On stage, Zamachowski honored a long theatrical tradition, performing at The Studio Theater (1985‑1997) before joining the National Theater in Warsaw, where he continues to enrich Polish cultural life. Beyond his artistic achievements, he has maintained a vibrant personal life, fathering four children and engaging in multiple marriages, reflecting the same passion and depth he brings to his craft.
