Cezary Lukaszewicz
Cezary Lukaszewicz, born August 25, 1981, in Wroclaw, Dolnoslaskie, Poland, isn’t just another face in the Polish cinema crowd—he’s got this knack for picking projects that stick with you. If you caught “Loving Vincent” back in 2017, you probably remember the film’s wild visual style, all oil-painted and trippy, and honestly, Lukaszewicz fit right in with that atmosphere. Before that, he turned heads in “Jasminum” (2006), a movie that’s tough to summarize without sounding a bit weird—there’s monks, mysterious scents, and a good dose of that offbeat Polish humor. He slips into roles like he’s just living them, not performing.
Then there’s “Ja teraz klamie” from 2019—yeah, the title basically says “I’m Lying Now,” and the film’s a twisty, mind-game-heavy story packed with deception and reality-bending. Lukaszewicz doesn’t just go through the motions; he brings this grit and unpredictability that makes his characters feel actually human, not just lines on a page. What’s cool is, he’s not the loudest guy in the room, but when he’s on screen, you notice. His vibe is kinda understated, almost sneaky, but when a scene needs weight, he brings it.
Born and raised in Wroclaw, he’s got that grounded, no-nonsense edge you see in a lot of Polish actors, but with a twist—something a little more unpredictable. Whether he’s in a surreal art film or a tense psychological thriller, Lukaszewicz has this tendency to steal scenes without even trying. You can tell he’s in it for the art, not just the paycheck.
