he was never interested in art, and he never even dreamed of becoming an actor. He dreamed of working as a surgeon, so after completing his compulsory education, he started medical studies. However, his education was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II, during which he first belonged to a volunteer military formation, and then took up a job transporting coal and storing scrap. In the meantime, he learned that his brother-in-law had died in Auschwitz. So he decided to take care of his sister and her several-month-old son by moving to Radom. It was there that he met Wiesława Hańska, with whom he married in 1943.
He wanted to be a surgeon, he became an actor. This is how Janusz Kłosiński’s career began
After the end of the war, Kłosiński returned to Łódź and started working at the steelworks, but, contrary to his earlier plans, he did not return to his studies. One day, while returning home by tram, he read an advertisement for admission to a theater school. Even though he was already 26 years old, he decided to try his hand at it. – To this day I don’t know if I would have passed if it weren’t for Jacek Woszczerowicz. He asked me to play a madman who suddenly goes crazy. I think that’s why I was accepted – the entrance exam in one of the interviews.
He obtained his diploma in 1948, but had already performed on the stage of local theaters. The performances with his participation were very popular, and he aroused universal admiration and admiration. 5 years later, he also made his debut in front of the camera, playing an episode in “Soldier of Victory”, which turned out to be a ticket to new opportunities for him. Over the years of his career, he has collaborated with many outstanding directors, including: With Wojciech Jerzy Hass and Jerzy Skolimowski, and his most important roles include, among others: Chernousov in the series or the robber Kuśmider in (both productions are available on ).
He supported the government on the vision. The community considered him a traitor. That’s why he ended his career
Kłosiński openly expressed his political views. He was a declared member of the Polish United Workers’ Party and one of Edward Gierek’s favorite actors. Although his colleagues had different opinions about authority, it did not affect their relationship or working relationship. Everything changed with the introduction in December 1981. Almost the entire artistic community took part in the strike, but he had no intention of getting involved. When, at the request of the deputy minister of culture, he appeared on one of the television programs, he decided to say directly what he thought about it. – I said on the air that enough is enough of strikes and the disintegration of a country recognized by all countries in the world. I considered the introduction of martial law to be an end to this unjustified riot – he recalled in “Angora”.
He didn’t think then that he would pay dearly for it. Shortly afterwards, he appeared in the play “Wesele” at the National Theater. As soon as he started speaking, the audience stopped, whistling, booing and shouting “traitor.” – After that, I never went on stage again. Not because I felt guilty, but because in my opinion the temple, the theater and the great Wyspiański were desecrated – he said. Then he decided to end his career and completely withdrew from the industry. He last appeared on screen in 2007 in the film “Everything Will Be Fine”. He died on November 8, 2017 at the age of 97.
