Born on March 15, 1952, in the city of Chrzanów, Poland, a country rich in history and culture. This marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey for a man who would go on to achieve great things in the world of entertainment. He was not alone in his early years, as he had the support of his loving family, including two brothers who would also make a name for themselves in their respective fields. His brother Mikolaj Grabowski is a talented actor and director, while his brother Wiktor is a highly skilled mining engineer.
As he grew older, he pursued his passion for the performing arts, graduating from the esteemed Ludwik Solski Academy for the Dramatic Arts in Kraków. This prestigious institution has produced some of the most talented actors and actresses in Poland, and he was proud to be a part of its legacy.
After completing his studies, he began his career in the Juliusz Slowacki Theatre in Kraków, where he honed his craft and developed his unique style. It was during this time that he landed his most iconic role to date, playing the lovable and eccentric Ferdynand Kiepski in the long-running sitcom series Swiat według Kiepskich (1999). This character has become synonymous with his name, and he is still widely recognized and beloved for his portrayal.
But acting is not the only string to his bow. He is also a talented singer and stand-up comedian, often appearing in shows performed for Teatr Telewizji, a series of theater performances broadcast by the public broadcaster Telewizja Polska. His versatility and range have made him a favorite among audiences and critics alike.
In his personal life, he has been married twice, first to the talented actress Anna Tomaszewska, with whom he had two beautiful daughters, Zuzanna Grabowska (born in 1983) and Katarzyna Grabowska (born in 1991). Both of his daughters have followed in their parents' footsteps, becoming actresses in their own right. After his first marriage, he married make-up artist Anita Kruszewska in June 2009, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
