Tomasz Karolak revealed in the second episode of the Polsat program Hitster. Muzyczna gra przebojów that he faced significant obstacles gaining admission to theater school, including repeated rejections based on his physical appearance. The actor attempted to enter the institution four times, eventually attributing his struggle to his distinct diastema, or gap between his front teeth.
Rejections Based on Appearance
During the broadcast, Polsat reported that Karolak’s path to a professional acting career was hindered by faculty concerns regarding his teeth. While one professor recognized his talent and suitability for the stage, she reportedly feared that his diastema would cause him to "spit on the theater audience" during performances. This feedback served as a recurring barrier throughout his four attempts to pass the entrance examinations.
Exchange with Sebastian Fabijański
The topic of appearance-based criticism surfaced again during the competition when actor Sebastian Fabijański, known for his roles in Botoks and Grzechy sąsiadów, shared his own experiences with similar industry feedback. "They told me that too," Fabijański noted during the discussion. Karolak responded to this admission with a remark about his colleague’s looks, prompting a lighthearted exchange between the two participants.
