“Four Panzer and Dog”. He played Grigory Saakashvili for financial reasons

Press debuted on a glass screen in the film “Divorce will not” from 1963. Later he took part in the interrogation for the role of Pharaoh Ramses XIII in the film “Pharaoh”, but he failed to get involved. Then he reported to trial photos for the series “Four Tank Men and Dog”. He went there because he lacked money.

– I didn’t have much motivation here. However, I went, even though I was skeptical from the beginning. The mentality of the young Sołdat was a foreign to me, the nature of the series, as I am a type of foreign military matters. However, I wanted to earn a bit, because then they paid for test photos, and I was thinly financially – he said in an interview with Krzysztof Lubczyński. He received the role of Grigory “Grzesia” by Saakashvili, a Georgian soldier.

In 1967 they took. They had two: son of Grzegorz and the daughter of Tania. Contrary to popular belief, the name of the Son is not related to the figure of Grigory. – Probably the only armored child born on the set. Everyone thinks that we gave him the name in honor of the characters I played, but it was really the celebration of my father Grzegorz, whom I lost as a child – said the star in “Przekrój”.
