[edit] Biography

Born in Szczecin, Poland Wolski emigrated to North America at the age of 7. She began acting and writing stories at the same time as a youngster and her work, both on and off screen, reflects a mixture of classical and rebellious influences. Of her choice to be an actress, she says she actually wanted to be a secret agent but the closest profession requiring a similar skill set was acting. She is classically trained but is known as an actress who, "takes risks and brings a refreshing energy", (Jason Bourque, director, Game Over). In her first five years starting out, she has already worked with Jeremiah Chechick (Benny and Joon), Bobby Roth (Prison Break, 2007) and actors that range from Jessica Alba to Dominic Purcell to Bruce Greenwood. She has been interviewed on MTV several times and photographed for Elle magazine, En Route.

Dominika was notably awarded a CBC mini seires out of 1400 applicants nation-wide for a pilot she wrote and starred in. The final series "Under the Cover" would also feature both her talents as a writer and as an actress. The original pilot was shown on Much Music and acquired for distribution by Cineflix. Dominika's other writing accomplishments include a Leo-Award winning music video concept in which she also played a pixie ("Walk the Talk" for Sean Hogan) and an award-winning Bravo Fact for artist Wyckham Porteous: again, Dominika both wrote the concept and played a leading role in the story line.

Dominika's striking model features are often compared to those of a young Uma Thurman and her natural energy is likened to Cameron Diaz: the tall gamine's physique is deceiving to some degree since Dominika was part of a national volleyball recruit camp for the Olympic Games and enjoys a variety of sports.

She plays classical piano and speaks Polish, French and English. Since switching to a serious pursuit of a film career in 2001, Dominika has guest starred on almost every series on the West Coast Vancouver film scene including Under the Cover which she wrote and starred in.
