Many detours led me to acting after leaving high-school:
first my civilian service - then numerous longer stays abroad - many years of work in the social sector (for homeless people, drug addicts) - a BA-degree (music/philosophy) - various radio jobs - private voiceover training - until I became the actor I am now. All of these life paths intertwine so well that I can draw from a large toolbox of experience.
In the end, acting, like pretty much everything I do, came to me:
Through the joy and passion of things themselves. I don't chase after anything in particular, but experience things for the sake of things. This gives me the opportunity to act in the present.
