Early Life and Education

Maciej Jerzy Stuhr was born on 23 June 1975 in Kraków into one of Poland’s most famous acting dynasties. His father is Jerzy Stuhr, one of the country’s greatest actors and directors, and his mother is violinist Barbara Kóska-Stuhr. He grew up with a younger sister, Marianna, also active in the arts.

After finishing the prestigious Bartłomiej Nowodworski High School in Kraków, he studied psychology at Jagiellonian University for two years before switching to the Ludwik Solski Academy for the Dramatic Arts in Kraków, from which he graduated in 1999.

Ethnically he is Polish and Jewish on his paternal grandmother’s side. In terms of religion, he was raised Roman Catholic but identifies as agnostic and rarely practises.

Career

Maciej Stuhr burst onto the scene while still a student with the cult comedies Fuks (1999) and Chłopaki nie płaczą (2000), instantly becoming the face of a new generation of Polish cinema.

He quickly added box-office successes such as Poranek kojota (2001), Vinci (2004) and Testosteron (2007), establishing himself as a reliable romantic-comedy lead and skilled voice actor (Polish voice of Shrek, among many others).

In the 2010s he deliberately broadened his range, earning critical acclaim and his first Polish Academy Award for the controversial Holocaust-themed drama Pokłosie (2012) and later winning Eagles again for The Getaway King (2021) and Letters to Santa 4 (2021).

He has also become one of Poland’s sharpest political satirists through his one-man shows and the long-running late-night programme Sprawa dla reportera – kabaret (later StuhrWars), in which he openly mocks politicians and social taboos.

Maciej Stuhr remains extraordinarily active across all media. Recent highlights include starring in the Netflix series The Green Glove Gang (2022–2024), the historical epic Filip (2023), the comedy thriller The Taming of the Shrewd 2 (2023), and continuing his sold-out stand-up tours.

He is a member of the European Film Academy and one of the few Polish actors whose films regularly cross the million-ticket mark.
