Tomasz Karolak explains why theater school rejected him

Actor Tomasz Karolak revealed that he approached his theater school entrance examinations four times and faced rejection due to his distinct appearance and diastema rather than a lack of talent, polsat.pl reported.

Tomasz Karolak Faced Theater School Rejections Due to Diastema

The musical competition and memories of 1990s songs quickly turned into a discussion about the early days of acting careers during an appearance on the Polsat program “Hitster. Muzyczna gra przebojów”. Tomasz Karolak revealed that his path to theater school was exceptionally difficult.

The artist recalled that he attempted the entrance exams four times. According to Karolak, the primary obstacle was not a lack of talent, but rather his physical appearance. “They wouldn’t accept me because of the gap,” he stated candidly, referring to his diastema.

One of the examining professors recognized both his talent and his appropriate predispositions. However, she worried that the characteristic space between his front teeth might cause problems during performances. As the actor recalled, her concern was that the diastema created a risk that he would spit on the theater audience.

Exchange With Sebastian Fabijański on Appearance and Critique

The discussion took a humorous turn when Sebastian Fabijański joined in, revealing that he had also faced comments regarding his physical appearance in the past. “They told me that too,” countered the actor known from the film “Botoks” and the series “Grzechy sąsiadów”.

Karolak offered a sharp riposte to the comment with a smile, telling Fabijański that he was ugly. The exchange occurred during the second episode of “Hitster. Muzyczna gra przebojów,” where Karolak performed in a duo with his bandmate from Pączki w Tłuszczu, Bartosz Miecznikowski. They competed against Darya and Sebastian Fabijański.

„Hitster. Muzyczna gra przebojów” airs on Saturdays and Sundays at 5:40 PM on Polsat. Further details and updates are available through the official Polsat profiles on Instagram and TikTok.
