About me

Born in Berlin, he graduated as a stage actor in 2011 with "very good" and "honor" at the Hamburg Stage School. This was followed by his first engagement at the theater in Kiel as a member of the ensemble for "Cabaret" directed by Frank-Lorenz Engel. Several plays followed in Hamburg, including "High Fidelity" at the Altonaer Theater or "Märchenmond" and "Familienbande" at the Hamburger Kammerspiele. From the 2014/15 season, Ben Knop was a permanent member of the ensemble at the Landesbühne Niedersachsen Nord for four years. There he played Prince Hettore Gonzaga in "Emilia Galotti" (Director: Jan Steinbach), Seymour in "Der Kleine Horrorladen" (D: Andreas Kloos), St. Just in "Dantons Tod" (D: Jan Steinbach), Leopold in "Im Weißen Rössl" (D: Ingo Putz) or Mozart in "Amadeus" (D: Markus Röhling).

Ben Knop has been a member of the ensemble at the Hessisches Landestheater Marburg since the 2019/20 season. In addition to Woof in "Hair" (D: Carola Unser) and the baron with crape in "Glaube Liebe Hoffnung" (D: Eva Lange), there was a reunion with "Cabaret". This time as emcee.
Furthermore, together with Katharina Birch and the musician Michael Lohman, he created the song recital "Soundtrack eines Lebens", which gave very personal insights.
One of the highlights is certainly the world premiere of "Wonderwomb" (D: Eva Lange) writen by Armir Gudarzi.

From the end of the 2022/23 season, Ben Knop will devote himself to new projects and will say goodbye to the Hessische Landestheater Marburg for the time being.

In front of the camera he gained some experience with "Dr. Sommerfeld - Neues vom Bülowbogen", "Anna und die Liebe" or "Morgen ihr Luschen! - Der Ausbilder Schmidt-Kinofilm".
