Zofia Wichłacz (Polish pronunciation: ; born 5 April 1995) is a Polish actress. She has appeared in films such as Warsaw 44 and Afterimage, and television programmes such as Medics, The Romanoffs and World on Fire.
Wichłacz was born in Warsaw, Poland, on 5 April 1995. Her father, Zbigniew Wichłacz, is a camera operator and her mother, Anna Seitz-Wichłacz, is a scenographer. She attended the theatre centre U Machulskich and graduated from the LXIV Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza in Warsaw.[1]
Wichłacz first appeared in a film about the Warsaw Uprising in 2012. She appeared in the made-for-television film The Morality of Mrs. Dulska in 2013, in one episode of Głęboka woda the same year and in Medics in 2014. She became better known after starring in Warsaw 44, winning two prestigious Polish awards: the Golden Lion for the best female role during the 39th Gdynia Film Festival and the Eagle for the revelation of the year in the 17th Polish Film Awards. Andrzej Wajda had seen Zofia in a play and had decided to cast her in Afterimage, which later turned out to be the director's last production.
In 2019 Wichłacz starred in the drama series DNA, a multi-company production about illegal adoptions, directed by Henrik Ruben Genz and Kasper Gaardsøe.[2] That same year, she portrayed Kasia, a Polish waitress, in the British drama series World on Fire.
