Jerzy Jogałła was born in 1940 in Krakow.  He was an actor and director.  In 1962 he graduated from the PWST in Krakow.  In 1974 he graduated from the Directing Department of the PWSFTviT in Łódź.

Andrzej Wajda spotted him in the Krakow theater school, who was currently preparing the screening of Monika Kotowska's story "We are alone in the world".  The film, however, was not realized due to its "moral ambiguity".  He was to partner Grażyna Staniszewska.

He played, among others  in "Popiele i diament", "Meeting in Bajka", "Witch's Wall", "Last Days", "Victory" and "first Polish western" - "Rancho-Texas" by Wadim Berestowski.  At the end of the 1970s, he completely disappeared from the screen.  His last role was the role of the priest in "Ballada o rozścywach szyb" in 1998, directed by Peter Del Monte, in which he appeared alongside km.in Agata Buzek and Grażyna Wolszczak.

In 1979, he directed a film about the election of Karol Wojtyla as Pope.  Ten years later, he made a film about Wawel, but according to the producer, the tapes were stolen.

The actor died on May 7, 2018.  He was 78 years old.  His father-in-law was Jerzy Turowicz.
