Jan Englert has always had his own opinion on acting. – You are an actor when you can do something – he said some time ago in an interview for Plejada. Few film stars can boast such achievements as Englert. The 81-year-old has no doubt that the acting profession is different today from what you could see a dozen or so years ago. – There was a time when there was only one TV program. That movies it was 12 times a year that if someone didn't get into the theater after graduation, they didn't have a job. So it was a very elite group of those who succeeded – he explained to a reporter from the portal cozatydzien.pl. In the same conversation, Englert spoke about actors who never graduated from drama school. He does not have a good opinion of them.
Jan Englert didn't mince his words about amateur actors. “You have to accept it, or…”
In recent years, we have seen a significant increase in the popularity of pseudo-documentary programmes, which often become a platform for people who are not professionally involved in acting. “Right now, on TV, we have 60% amateurs who play in various series, and pseudo-documentaries have a higher viewership than television drama, for example” – began Englert. “And we have to accept this or protest. I protest. […] I believe that the fact that we live in times where quantity wins over quality is what determines my reluctance to make things easier thanks to technology,” he added.
Jan Englert is honest about his future
The actor was once asked about his place in the ever-changing world. Englert shared a surprisingly pessimistic vision. “Where is my place? Nowhere. I'm dying. That's why I don't have the slightest problem with it. I mean, I do, because I'm worried about those I'm teaching at the moment. I am worried from the perspective of a person who has experienced another world and another life,” he explained in an interview with PAP Life. However, this confession should not raise concerns among Englert's fans. The actor is still professionally active and is involved in many projects. The premiere of movie “Crossroads”, where Englert plays the main role. Next year, he will be seen in “Heweliusz”, which will debut on Netflix.
