Polish actors discuss career challenges and professional compromises

Polish actors Kacper Kuszewski and Mateusz Banasiuk have shared insights into the challenges and professional realities of their careers.

Kacper Kuszewski discussed the complexities of being identified with a single iconic role, specifically his character Marek Mostowiak in the series "M jak miłość." He noted that while he is aware many viewers may always see him as that character, he strives to make professional decisions that align with his convictions without being an uncompromising artist who refuses work based solely on artistic vision. He stated, "I am not an uncompromising type who, even if he had to eat plaster from the wall, would refuse a role because he has an exclusively artistic vision."

Mateusz Banasiuk recounted an anecdote regarding the film "Listy do M. 5." After spending a month training physically to prepare for a romantic scene with Maria Dębska, he expressed disappointment when the scene was heavily edited. The director ultimately decided to cut the sequence to maintain the family-friendly nature of the production.
