Filmography
1962 O dwóch takich, co ukradli księżyc / The Two Who Stole the Moon
The Two Who Stole the Moon, in which the twins played the young rascals Jacek and Placek, would be the only film role for the two brothers. They would go on to have a political career as joint founders in 2001 of the Polish Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Law and Justice) Party. Lech was President of Poland from 2005 until his death in 2010. Jarosław was appointed Prime Minister of Poland by his brother in 2006, and served until 2007, when his party lost in a parliamentary election of that year.
There is no entry for the brothers in the main body of John Holmstrom's volume, though they are noted in the index for their roles in The Two Who Stole the Moon.
