Aleksander Fogiel
Birthday: Born in 1910-02-26 in Siedlce, Gubernia siedlecka, Królestwo Polskie (obecnie Polska)
Deathday: 1996-01-17
Aleksander Fogiel urodził się w 1910 roku w Siedlcach. Na dużym ekranie debiutował dopiero w 1958 roku rolą Apostoła w "Bazie ludzi umarłych". Debiut Fogla uważany jest za jeden z najwybitniejszych sukcesów polskiego aktorstwa filmowego. Aktor rozwiązał tutaj problem ekspresji filmowej, zdołał stworzyć mocną, sugestywną postać, nie wyrzekając się dyskrecji i umiaru. Debiut filmowy poprzedziła wieloletnia wędrówka przez sceny Wrocławia, Jeleniej Góry, Częstochowy, Poznania, Szczecina. Po znakomitym przyjęciu gry Fogla w "Bazie ludzi umarłych", pojawiał się w kolejnych, niejednokrotnie wybitnych filmach. Zagrał m.in. włóczęgę w "Nikt nie woła" Kutza, szlachcica hiszpańskiego w "Rękopisie znalezionym w Saragossie" Hasa czy Jóźwiaka w "Jak rozpętałem II wojnę światową". Aleksander Fogiel zmarł w wieku 86 lat, zapisując się na stałe w historii polskiej kinematografii.
