About me

View profile
I am a professional actor, writer, and creator working internationally, currently based in Poland. I am a native English speaker and an EU citizen, available for film, television, and theatre productions across Europe and beyond.

My work often explores complex moral landscapes, historical memory, and characters navigating power, identity, and inheritance. I am drawn to psychologically layered roles — authority figures under pressure, intellectuals with hidden fractures, antagonists driven by belief, and men negotiating legacy and responsibility.

In addition to my acting work, I develop original projects for stage and screen, including historically inspired and politically engaged material. This dual perspective — performer and creator — informs my approach to collaboration and character: I value precision, emotional truth, and narrative clarity.

I am comfortable working across cultures and production environments and have experience in both ensemble-driven projects and intimate character studies. My training and professional background have equipped me to work rigorously, adapt quickly, and contribute thoughtfully to the storytelling process.

I am particularly interested in international co-productions, English-language European projects, prestige television, and independent cinema.

Training

I trained at the National Theatre School of Canada (École nationale de théâtre du Canada), one of the country’s leading conservatory institutions for professional theatre training. Based in Montreal, the school offers an intensive, competitive, three-year program that has produced many of Canada’s most respected actors, directors, and playwrights working internationally across film, television, and stage.

The training is conservatory-based and practice-driven, with a strong emphasis on classical and contemporary text work, voice and speech, movement, scene study, and ensemble collaboration. The program integrates rigorous studio training with full-scale productions, preparing actors to work at the highest professional level in both theatre and screen environments.
