Marcin Grzegorz Dorociński (Polish: [ˈmart͡ɕin dɔrɔˈt͡ɕiɲskʲi]; born 22 June 1973) is a Polish film, television and stage actor. He is known for playing roles in such films as Pitbull (2005), Reverse (2009), Rose (2011), Jack Strong (2014), Hurricane (2018) and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) as well as internationally produced TV series Spies of Warsaw (2013) and The Queen's Gambit (2020).

Early life

[edit]

Dorociński was born in Milanówek near Warsaw and grew up in a small village Kłudzienko. His father is a blacksmith and his mother is a housewife.[1] He has three brothers, all of whom are police officers.[2] He dreamt of becoming a professional football player, but he was forced to give up the plan after sustaining a major leg injury. He attended the vocational school in Grodzisk Mazowiecki and obtained a machinist certificate.[3] The first person to notice his talent for acting was his history teacher, who encouraged him to become an actor. In 1993, he enrolled at the Aleksander Zelwerowicz State Theatre Academy.[1]

Career

[edit]

In his second-year at the State Theatre Academy, he was cast as Don Rodrigue in a television adaptation of Le Cid directed by Krystyna Janda.[3] After graduating from the Academy in 1997, he struggled to find acting jobs at first. He worked as a waiter, a bouncer and took other casual jobs until he was offered a post at the Dramatic Theatre in Warsaw.[2] He has also appeared in several plays in the Ateneum Theatre in Warsaw, in which he is currently employed.

He played minor roles in multiple television series, before his breakthrough came with the role in Patryk Vega's 2005 film Pitbull, which brought him the Zbyszek Cybulski Award.[4] He is a two-time Polish Film Festival award winner for his roles in Reverse (2009) and Rose (2011).[5] The latter also earned him the IFFI Best Actor Award at the 43rd International Film Festival of India.[6] In 2012, he received the Paszport Polityki award.[7] In 2012, he appeared in Magdalena Łazarkiewicz's critically-acclaimed TV series The Deep End ("Głęboka woda") which earned him a nomination for Best Actor Award at the Monte Carlo Television Festival.[8] Between 2012 and 2013, Dorociński appeared in a mini-series called Spies of Warsaw, co-produced by the BBC and Telewizja Polska.[9]

In 2020, he joined the cast of the Netflix drama miniseries The Queen's Gambit starring Anya Taylor-Joy.[10] Based on the 1983 novel by Walter Tevis of the same name, the show explores the life of an orphan chess prodigy named Beth Harmon from the age of eight to twenty-two, as she struggles with addiction in a quest to become a grandmaster in chess. Dorociński plays Soviet world chess champion Vasily Borgov.[11][12]
