	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Maciej Zakoscielny, born on May 7, 1980, in Stalowa Wola, Poland, is a Polish actor.

Zakoscielny first felt the call of the stage already in elementary school. As a young boy, he participated in talent shows, and won third price for his Shakin' Steven in the Minilista Przebojow children's contest!

Zakoscielny studied at the School of Performing Arts for thirteen years, majoring in music - his instrument was the violin, but also piano and lately, African drums. One of his major hobbies, which he dedicated five years of his growing-up life on was karate. All this helped him into University of Performing Arts in Warsaw, where he wanted to study drama.

Zakoscielny's first major on-screen role came in 2005, as he won the male lead in the romantic comedy "Tylko Mnie Kochaj" (Just love me). But that wasn't his first brush with the acting world - fans know him well from the TV screens.

Zakoscielny was a keen actor, participating in many polish productions, such as the series "Plebania", "Sfora" or "Samo Zycie". He also starred in a supporting role in the historical "Stara Basn" (2004), showing early Polish history and in the widely loved show "Kryminalni" (Homicide Unit), as lieutenant Marek Brodecki.
