Krzysztof Piątkowski

I’m glad to be an actor because even when I play the guitar, walk a tightrope, travel, make something out of wood, create crazy worlds with my daughter, or talk to strangers, and someone bothers me with a boring phone call, I can politely tell them not to disturb me as I am at work. That’s what this job is like. It forces us to constantly develop, to be interested in others so that we could hold within ourselves all of these human stories.
