BARTŁOMIEJ KOTSCHEDOFF

Bartłomiej Kotschedoff is a Polish film, television, and theatre actor. He graduated from the Ludwik Solski State Drama School in Kraków (now the Aleksander Zelwerowicz National Academy of Dramatic Art, Kraków Branch) in 2014. He began his acting career while still a student — in 2009, he made his on-screen debut in the TV series “Majka”. Since then, he has appeared in numerous Polish television series, including “High Heels on Giewont”, “For Better and for Worse”, “Julia”, and “Don’t Worry About Me”. He made his feature film debut in 2014, appearing in “Summer Solstice” and “Hardkor Disco”.

One of Kotschedoff’s most recognizable roles is that of Miłosz in the comedy-drama “Panic Attack” (directed by Paweł Maślona), for which he also co-wrote the screenplay. He has since appeared in productions such as “History of Roja”, “Bodo” (where he portrayed Adolf Dymsza), “Playing Hard”, “Servants of War”, “Birdtalk”, as well as the TV series “The Thaw” and “Inheritance”.

Beyond the screen, Bartek has also gained recognition in theatre — in 2013, he received an award for his performance as Heiner in the play “The Swimming Pool” at the 31st Festival of Theatre Schools in Łódź. His acting style is characterized by great versatility; he can portray dramatic, comedic, and historically rooted characters with equal skill. In recent years, Bartek has also appeared increasingly in streaming and more artistically ambitious television productions.
