About me

Versatile Human Being with Depth, Humor, and Technical Prowess


As a passionate actor, I bring a unique blend of creativity, versatility, and commitment to every role. My roots in acting trace back to childhood, where I often tackled the challenge of memorizing the longest scripts in theater groups - an experience that has profoundly shaped my memory skills and stage presence.

Film Experiences:

  • Portrayed the iconic role of Forrest Gump in "The Ordinaries" (feature film), where I demonstrated my ability to authentically and patiently craft a bench scene.
  • Worked as an extra in an unreleased film by Robert Gwisdek, showcasing my endurance and ten-finger typing skills impressively.
  • Appeared in a music video, exhibiting my capacity to follow precise directorial instructions - even when it meant convincingly portraying a zombie.

Versatility and Character Strength:

I'm known for my willingness to transform for a role - be it as a dinosaur or any other required character. My repertoire spans both humorous and serious roles. I bring a profound side, reflected in my passion for philosophy and the universe.

Commitment and Personality:

Beyond acting, I actively engage in species and tree conservation, with a special focus on squirrels and bats.

Technical Skills and Hobbies:

With a background in IT, I also bring technical understanding and problem-solving abilities. As a hobby UAV pilot, I combine my love for technology with creative perspective. In everyday life, I prefer cycling to driving, underlining my environmental consciousness.

I'm always open to new challenges and bring humor, depth, and versatility to every project.
