Manuela Wenger

About me

View profile
Manuela Wenger is an actress with a diverse background that sets her apart from the rest. Before realizing her talent for acting, she spent her days tending to the fields and horses on her family's farm in the Bernese Alps and working as a show-woman with future racehorses at horse auctions across Europe. 
 
Despite her rural roots and degree in engineering in agronomy, Manuela has always had a love for the performing arts. Today she brings her down to earth charm and naturalness to the entertainment industry. Additionally, her gift for languages gives her a flexibility rarely seen in the business. 
 
When she's not delivering funny lines or dramatic monologues, moderating, voice acting, singing, or modeling you can find her either at her adopted home on the lake of Greifensee or horseback riding in the hills of Bern. Her "farm to table" approach to acting is sure to resonate with audiences worldwide.
