In 2020, he joined the cast of the Netflix drama miniseries The Queen's Gambit, starring Anya Taylor-Joy. Based on the 1983 novel by Walter Tevis of the same name, the show explores the life of an orphan chess prodigy named Beth Harmon from the age of eight to twenty-two as she struggles with addiction in a quest to become a grandmaster in chess. Dorociński plays Soviet world chess champion Vasily Borgov. He is married to scenic designer Monika Sudół. The couple has a son, Stanisław (born 2006), and a daughter, Janina (born 2008).
