In 1965, he played the character of Rafał Olbromski, his first major film role in Andrzej Wajda's film The Ashes.[3]

In 1971 he won the award for Best Actor at the 7th Moscow International Film Festival for his role in The Birch Wood.[4]

He played one of the leading roles in Volker Schlöndorff's film The Tin Drum based on Günter Grass's novel Die Blechtrommel. He also appeared in one of the ten short films in Krzysztof Kieślowski's Dekalog and played a role in the film adaptation of The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
