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. Written and directed by
Christopher McQuarrie, it is the seventh installment of the spy thriller franchise. He
can next be seen opposite Ryan Reynolds in the action feature MAYDAY.
