Janusz Tracz - a fictional character from the Plebania television series. This character was played by Dariusz Kowalski.

Characteristic

The character is the villain of the show. He is a businessman and a gangster. He is an anti-religious person, which is reflected in his negative attitude towards the Church and clergy. He seems to be deprived of feelings and empathy, he does not respect people and intimidates them [1] [2].

Married twice. The first wife was Angelika. His second wife (Konstancja), with whom he has a son Paweł, unable to bear his character, was taken to a psychiatric hospital, where she committed suicide [1].

When he was a small child, his mother (Anna) left him and went to the United States. She returned from there after 45 years [3].

Reception

Janusz Tracz is sometimes described as the darkest character on Polish television [1]. Thanks to this role, Dariusz Kowalski gained wider popularity. The actor himself is a deeply religious person [4], which contrasts strongly with the role played.

On the wave of popularity of this character, which appeared due to the broadcast of reruns of the Plebania series on TVP Regionalna [5], there were requests to Telewizja Polska to make a spin-off of Janusz Tracz [6] [7] [8].
