At what point will actors and actresses start to feel left out because they weren’t added to Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Every week, we get a new report of the latest, greatest actors being added to the already star-studded cast and we’re left wondering, “Who’s left?”
The latest bit of news actually involves a Polish actor that you’re probably not familiar with portraying a director that everyone on the planet has heard of. That’s right, Tarantino has found his Roman Polanski and his name is Rafal Zawierucha, according to THR.

“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” tells the story of a down-on-his-luck TV actor and his stunt-double best friend as they deal with the ever-changing Hollywood of 1969. And as they maneuver this new Hollywood, the pair also has to deal with the fact that the actor’s neighbor, Sharon Tate, was just murdered at the hands of Charles Manson’s “Family.” And for those familiar with the Manson murders, you’re probably well aware that Tate was newly married to Polanksi, and the murder happened at the director’s home.
Also joining the cast for the film are Sydney Sweeney, of “The Handmaid’s Tale” fame (as well as the severely underrated “Everything Sucks!”), and Danny Strong. Strong is the creator of Fox’s “Empire,” as well as a writer on “Hunger Games: Mockingjay” and Showtime’s “Billions.”
The rest of the already-announced cast is full of a whos-who of acting royalty led by Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell, Timothy Olyphant, Burt Reynolds, Damian Lewis, and Dakota Fanning, as well as just about everyone else.
“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is set to open on July 26, 2019.
