Mikołaj Bukrewicz plays Jan Borysewicz in Less of a Stranger, Netflix’s Polish biographical drama about the guitarist and leader of Lady Pank. Bukrewicz is a young actor and working guitarist, giving the performance a musical foundation as the film follows Borysewicz from rebellious beginnings into national fame.
The two-hour film is now streaming on Netflix. It connects Lady Pank’s rise to Borysewicz’s personal losses, showing how a hunger for artistic freedom develops alongside family trauma, clashes with authority and the destructive pressure of success.
Mikołaj Bukrewicz leads as Jan Borysewicz
Bukrewicz carries the story from the musician’s early fascination with rock through the formation of a band that becomes a voice for its generation. The role requires more than stage imitation because Netflix’s synopsis frames Jan’s private life as equally important to understanding the ambition and volatility behind the music.

The supporting actors play Lady Pank’s early circle
Patryk Pietrzak plays lyricist Andrzej Mogielnicki, while Hubert Miłkowski portrays bassist Paweł Mścisławski. Krzysztof Oleksyn appears as guitarist Edmund Stasiak, Mikołaj Matczak plays drummer Jarosław Szlagowski, and the ensemble recreates the relationships that turn individual talent into a defining Polish rock group.
Kinga Preis and Ireneusz Czop anchor the family story
Preis and Czop are among the prominently billed supporting performers. Their presence reinforces that Less of a Stranger is not presented as a concert film or a complete Lady Pank chronology. It is a character-focused biopic about the family experiences and losses that shaped Borysewicz before and during fame.
The most useful way to read the available information is to separate a confirmed detail from an inference. A distributor can verify a date, cast member, episode order or basic premise. It cannot, by itself, prove a future renewal, an unannounced casting choice or an interpretation of events that the finished story leaves deliberately open.
That distinction is especially important for streaming coverage, where schedules and catalog pages can change without warning. The details here reflect US availability and sources checked on October 8, 2026. Any missing date, role or production detail remains unconfirmed rather than being filled from expectation.
For viewers, the practical takeaway is to follow the named platform and treat the cited release status as current, not permanent. Official pages remain the best place to confirm last-minute timing changes, while interviews and attributable reporting provide context that a short synopsis cannot.
The story also works best when its central promise stays narrow. A release guide should answer when and where, a cast guide should connect performers to verified roles, and an explanation should distinguish what the episode shows from what viewers may reasonably infer.
