THIS IS ABOUT ME.

I am an actor, comedian, and slapstick performer. In my work, I combine acting with physical performance and a particular focus on visual comedy.
 

I grew up in Upper Austria and later in Vienna, and I started gaining stage and camera experience at an early age: I appeared as a child actor before the camera. Soon after, I discovered parkour and freerunning – an experience that has profoundly shaped my approach to movement. Even before my formal acting training, I worked internationally as a parkour athlete and stunt performer.

For over fifteen years, I have been involved in film and theater productions both in Austria and abroad. I am especially interested in storytelling through the body – where movement, play, and humor intersect. Slapstick plays a key role in my work, with its visual clarity and immediacy strongly influencing my approach. 

 

In addition to my acting engagements, I develop my own projects for stage and camera, often centered around quirky characters and physically-driven situations. For me, movement is not just a performative tool but an essential part of my understanding of acting: an immediate form of communication with the audience.

A few years ago my friends and I started a company called ape create.

We are an action agency with focus on movement, stunts, action - always with the aim to combine our love for movement with visual storytelling.
