When he had no money, he worked in the bazaar. He sold tights. “No work is dishonorable”

Krzysztof Tyniec is one of the most popular Polish actors, but many people have no idea that before he achieved success, he barely had enough to live on. A famous artist, to support his family, was a salesman and traded at the bazaar.

Krzysztof Tyniec was born in 1956 in Nowa Ruda. He is best known as a dubbing actor. He provided the voice of Bugs Bunny, Goffy and Timon from “The Lion King”. He also starred in productions such as “Gierek”, “Daleko od noszy” and “Nie łam darnie”. However, not everyone knows that before he became a successful actor, he could barely make ends meet.

Krzysztof Tyniec couldn’t find a job for a long time. He went to Słupsk in search of money

After graduating from the PWST in Warsaw, Krzysztof Tyniec could not find a job for a long time. After graduation, he started working in the TV series “Home”, but his source of income quickly ended. He earned money every day by performing on the stage of the Wola Theater, but he did not play leading roles, so the money from his acting work was not much. In search of money, he went to Słupsk, where his friend, Marek Grzesiński, took over as the director of the theater and promised Krzysztof Tyniec a role in the play. The actor stayed in the city for two years, and in the meantime his daughter was born. Unfortunately, when martial law was declared in Poland and they were closed, he was once again left without the opportunity to earn money.

Krzysztof Tyniec traded in shirts and tights. “I convinced myself that there is no shame in any work”

He returned to Warsaw with his wife and took up trade to support his family. — My wife started sewing silk shirts, and as a salesman, I went to small shops with these shirts, but rarely anyone wanted to buy them from me. Eventually I started wearing them myself. I laughed that it was so hard for us and I was wearing silks – Together they survived the lean years, although, as Krzysztof Tyniec admitted in one of the interviews, it was not easy. He also sold tights at the bazaar, which he received from his mother-in-law from the GDR. — I convinced myself that there is no shame in any job. Thanks to these stockings and tights, we had money to live on, he explained.
