Andrzej Seweryn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrzej Seweryn (born April 25, 1946 in Heilbronn, Germany) is a Polish actor.

His parents Zdzisław and Zofia were captured and forced into slave labor in Germany, during the World War II. After the birth of Andrzej, they come back to Poland.

He graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Warsaw and works at Teatr Ateneum where he continued to act until 1980.

Andrzej Seweryn appeared in over fifty motion pictures, most them Polish, French and German productions. He is best known in the United States for his portrayal as Julian Scherner in the film Schindler's List. Seweryn was allegedly chosen for the role of Scherner since he bore a striking physical resemblance to the actual Julian Scherner, based upon photographic evidence from World War II. He has also portrayed the French Revolutionary leader Maximilien Robespierre, in the mini-series Révolution française, La (1989) aka (The French Revolution).

Since 1993 he has performed in Comédie Française in Paris.
