Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on June 22, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Marcin Dorociński! From your captivating performance in "Jack Strong" to the intense charisma you brought as Vasily Borgov in Netflix's hit series "The Queen’s Gambit," you've proven that chess can be thrilling—even for those of us who still confuse bishops with pawns.

Your talent continues to impress audiences worldwide, effortlessly transitioning from gritty dramas like "Pitbull" to historical masterpieces. May this birthday bring you joy and laughter—just remember: unlike a tense chess match against Beth Harmon, today you're allowed unlimited cake breaks!

Here's wishing another year filled with exciting roles, memorable moments, and fewer checkmates!
