MARCIN DOROCIŃSKI
Marcin is one of Poland’s most talented, popular, and successful actors of his generation. He was born in Milanowek near Warsaw. As a child, he dreamt of becoming a professional football player, but unfortunately his promising early career was cut short when he suffered a severe leg injury. He decided to enroll in The Aleksander Zelwerowicz State Theatre Academy, and following his graduation, he performed in many theatre productions including: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, which was directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski, and PLATONIV by Pawel Miskiewicz. On screen, Marcin gained critical acclaim in the early 2000’s, culminating in the Zbyszek Cybulski's Award for Best Young Polish Actor in 2005. He has worked across both Polish and English-language projects and his notable previous roles include: as ‘Ladislav’ opposite Cillian Murphy in the feature film ANTHROPOID; ‘Despero’ in the Polish hit film PITBULL; the title role in JACK STRONG; the Polish version of the drama series IN TREATMENT; the war drama ROSE, Ole Bornedal’s SMALL TOWN KILLERS, and the WW2 war drama MISSION OF HONOUR, which was directed by David Blair. Marcin won huge praise for his portrayal of 'Piotr Grodecki' in the HBO crime drama series PAKT. Most recently, he played the key role of ‘Vasily Borgov’ in the hugely successful Cold War drama mini-series THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT, which won multiple Emmy Awards, and which was directed by two-time Oscar nominee Scott Frank. Marcin can currently be seen in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. Written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, it is the seventh installment of the spy thriller franchise.
