Welcome to my webpage - welcome to my life.

live don't act

ALEXANDER
acting is my life!

I was born and raised in Hamburg Germany. I am the son of a prima ballerina and an opera director and theatre manager. My grandmother an actress and my grandfather a theatre manager. Spiked with those genes I set out to become an actor.

I studied acting just down there on 15th street at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute. Those wonderful teachers trained me in the method, Michael Chekhov' approach, some Meisner and Adler. I took what worked for me and I am thankful for every bit of it! After school I wanted to act on stage like my film idols did before they became famous in the movies!

First steps on stage.

ALEXANDER
I started out in Innsbruck, Austria at the state theater. I had the chance to play Valére in TARTUFFE, the Witch in a fairytale and many other roles. Back in Germany - HAMLET crossed my way. Let me tell you - the beauty of Shakespeares lines gives you so much to work with, it makes your toes tickle!

Cameras and mirophones are so sensitive for every nuance.

ALEXANDER
I love working in radio Drama. If its a script for kids or adults - it doesn't matter, it gives you such a great freedom for creating a character only with your voice. And dubbing brings me close to those fantastic films and tv series they make all over the world, like the americans or danish, that I want to be part of! Television and film: I only touched the surface but here my feature lies!

ALEXANDER
I want to act. I want to breath on stage, in front of a camera, whisper into a microphone. I want to work together, create together.You and me. Lets get up and make it happen!
