Historia

Daniel Olbrychski (n. 27 de febrero de 1945, Łowicz) es un actor de cine polaco que ha desarrollado una extensa carrera artística. Es conocido principalmente por sus papeles protagónicos en películas dirigidas por Andrzej Wajda. Ingresó en la Escuela Nacional de Teatro pero nunca completó sus estudios. En 1963 ya comenzó a actuar en cine al que arribó con su aureola de misterio, su estampa atlética y su rara fuerza interior bajo un rostro adolescente. Bajo la dirección de Wajda interpretó el papel del también actor polaco Zbigniew Cybulski – protagonista del filme Cenizas y diamantes que dirigiera Wajda- que había muerto en un accidente, en la película que narra la historia del mismo. Sus personalidades diferían: Cybulski era visceral y expansivo en tanto a Olbrychski se lo ve austero y enigmático. Otras actuaciones a destacar se produjeron en el filme El tambor de hojalata, película de Volker Schlöndorff basada en el libro homónimo del ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura 1999, el alemán Günther Grass, y también su pequeño papel en La insoportable levedad del ser. Cabe recordar asimismo su participación en Caza de moscas, Las señoritas de Wilko, El bosque de los abedules, La boda'' (todas dirigidas por Wajda); Vida familiar (dirigido por Krzysztof Zanussi, Los unos y los otros (encarnando el director de orquesta, en el exitoso filme de Claude Lelouch), Rosa Luxemburgo (dirigido por Margarethe von Trotta), El barbero de Siberia (dirigido por Nikita Mijalkov) y en un episodio del Decálogo, de Krzysztof Kieślowski. Olbrychski es conocido por su habilidad para cabalgar y en el manejo del sable, y protagoniza personalmente la mayoría de las escenas de acción que correspondan a su papel. Actualmente, prefiere no alejarse demasiado de casa para trabajar y además asume papeles episódicos que invariablemente confirman su condición de actor notable. De su pareja Monika Dzienisiewicz-Olbrychska nació el actor Rafal Olbrychski y otro de la actriz alemana Barbara Sukowa.
