Marek Sikora started his career when he was only 15 years old. In 1974, he read in “Świat Młodych” about the search for actors for a film. Sikora was one of several thousand teenagers who showed up at the casting for the adaptation of Janusz Domagalik’s novel, “The End of the Holidays”. He defeated everyone, but director Stanisław Jędryka quickly began to have doubts. – Looking at him, I thought to myself: “Oh my God, this is a terrible choice! He’s the wrong boy!” – he recalled in the interview. However, he was afraid of changing his decision, all because of the warm thanks from Sikora’s mother. – His mother almost kissed my hands when she greeted me because I chose him for this role – he said. But already while shooting the first scene, Jędryka realized that the choice was right.
