Marcel Novek is dead. The actor and singer was 91 years old
“We regret to inform you that Marcel Nowek, a singer and actor, has passed away. He performed in stage bands in Lublin, Katowice and Warsaw. He took part in numerous concerts and recitals. He cooperated with the Jewish Theater in Warsaw,” we read in the post.
Apart from acting, the artist also sang. According to filmpolski.pl, he performed in stage bands in Lublin, Katowice and Warsaw. He took part in numerous concerts and recitals. He collaborated with the Jewish Theater in Warsaw. He made his debut in the film “Paris – Warsaw bez visa”, directed by Hieronim Przybył. Then he played in the series “Do break 0:1” and the cult production “Czterej pancerni i pies”, where he played the role of a Frenchman in the episode “Rings”.
For years, he played episodic roles in Polish films and series. In 2001, he played the role of Hast, the commander of the unit taking Lygia from Aulus’ house to Nero’s palace in the film “Quo Vadis”. A few years later, viewers could admire him as Krzesimir in “Stara Baśni”.
In addition to acting, Marcel Novek also developed his singing career. He performed, among others, at the festival in Opole in 1970. He then presented a program consisting of poems by poets such as Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński and Tadeusz Gajcy, which was not positively received by those responsible for the event’s formula.
As the Onet portal recalls, after Novek’s performance in Opole, Andrzej Jaroszewski, the then head of the KFPP artistic office, was demoted to the role of emcee.
