The actor, known for his role as Jędrula in the series “Foster Family,” recently spoke to Newseria Lifestyle. He admitted in an interview that for more than three decades he had been able to engage in… “Schindler's List”Where he played the supporting role of a Gestapo officer. He admitted that he came to the casting after getting to know him.
“It was really like that. I'm not kidding. I knew both Lew Rywin and Michał Szczerbic, and my wife also worked in this production,” the actor said. “They introduced the actors one by one, sent photos, they also sent my photo, then I took test photos in Warsaw, and I was accepted as one of the first,” he recalls.
He said, “I met Steven Spielberg and it was a very nice meeting. He is a cinematic giant and a man who is greatly respected.” He also admitted that although starring in the production and working on set was a wonderful experience and a “gift of fate” for him, he…did not appear in the final version of the film. Scenes were deleted during editing.
“In Schindler's List there were four plots to arrest the main character, played by Liam Neeson, and I was in one of those plots. But in the end it turned out that the movie was too long and they deleted that entire plot,” he revealed and added that he never had a grudge against anyone. .
The actor also mentioned what it was like working on the set. He said: “There is an inspection scene in Schindler's office and the camera was behind me, then in front of me and Spielberg took the camera, and the cameraman Kaminsky sat in the corner and made stupid faces to distract me.” He concluded: “This also proves that he is able to withstand certain situations that relieve tension in one way or another. The way of working is slightly different from ours.”
“Schindler's List” also featured among others: Anna Mucha, Maja Ostaszewska, Eduard Linde Lobaszenko, Andrzej Ceweren and Henryk Pesta. Poles also worked behind the cameras. The author of the images is Janusz Kaminski, and Alan Starski and Ewa Braun were responsible for the set design. All three received Academy Awards for their work.
