An article about the Marcin's story in AKTIVIST!
I want to tell you that we’ve made an amazing series. I’m really excited about the whole process and the final result. Listen, this is a masterpiece. The first time I stepped into the studio and saw the scale of the set and heard the energetic music it was such an uplifting and joyful experience that it made me want to be there even more, to work, and my hips were moving on their own, my feet were tapping. You know, the experience of the scale of the production, the quality, the standards, and the passion that everyone, I believe, had, along with the legendary Warner Bros. Studio where we filmed some of the scenes outside London – it was simply amazing. And even when I was sitting in the camper waiting for the next scenes, or for several hours of rehearsal that was going to happen at my request, those hours were an opportunity to sit on the steps with a cup of tea or coffee and soak in this wonderful adventure, without frustration about the waiting, but rather with joy for every second, observing how a film set looks in American circumstances. From time to time, chatting with someone, writing journal entries for the role, revisiting the internal work, and soaking it all in again. Or at the very beginning of this work, taking stomach pills for three days. You know, Hollywood circumstances. Stakes higher than life. Hollywood. Wonderful, big, beautiful Hollywood. Because in this job, I redefined what Hollywood means. And it turned out that it's not just a place, but most of all, the values you work with. It’s partnership, commitment, courage, and love for what you do. For pleasure, for telling a story, for greater understanding of others and oneself, for the enjoyment and entertainment of the audience.
And I love all the scenes I played in there, the travels, London, Estonia, a week of rehearsals, the first read-through with most of the crew in the presence of producers, casting directors, after which I immediately left the room overwhelmed by all the names I was collaborating with. The beginnings. You know, to stand there with all those amazing people who co-created Dune 2, Poor Things!, Pride and Prejudice, The Creator, First Goal (a story that’s very important to me), the wonderful The Crown, or the beautiful Past Lives! – it’s really a challenge not to want to prove your right to be part of this team, but to stand on equal ground with this work. Past Lives! A story that awakened in me a greater understanding of love and the joy of playing scenes with John, who played the husband of the main character. To play scenes with Michael Fassbender, who showered me with so much kindness that I’m still basking in those embraces and words of recognition. With Richard! The hotel. Morning. I’m going for breakfast. Richard gets into the car. He notices me as I walk by, lowers the tinted window, and asks if my throat is feeling better because the day before I had strained it a bit while doing a scene with him. Richard Gere, lowers the tinted window, and asks about my throat. And he still has that charm from Pretty Woman. What a wonderful story.
And a wonderful lesson: that stomach pain at the beginning of the shoot, which seemed natural, was unnecessary, because behind all the authorities I worked with are truly amazing people, and doing something together with them is extremely inspiring, supportive, and super enjoyable.
Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to a spy thriller (a spy thriller, and I cried when I finished reading the first episode). With a great story, cast, direction, set design, lighting, and cinematography. And we all did some really beautiful work there.

Marcin's story which he put in a script of solo act. A Practical Comedy for One Actor, Preferably Unemployed' is a real story about a series of events in the life of a certain unemployed artist. It's a tale of determination and the struggle for one's dreams, yet important things are spoken of lightly here, without complaining about the unemployed's fate. The script describes the protagonist's experience looking for a job, with priority given to his reactions as he tries to keep thinking positively and viewing tough situations with humor and distance. This is not
Such versatility is a rare thing amongst younger actors. He cannot so easily be labelled a comedic or dramatic actor. He can’t be pigeonholed. He is simply a master of his craft. A consummate, dedicated professional who pays strict attention to detail. None of his gestures or glances are accidental. And he always has a smile for everyone, whatever the circumstances.
a classical piece based on the intricate dramatic build-up. There is, in fact, very little drama in here. What is more important is the creation of an intimate conversational atmosphere between the protagonist and the spectator, similar to that between friends.
