About me

Laurenz Knill, is a Swiss actor with residence in Oslo (NO), born in 1987 in Schaffhausen and raised in Bern. From 2014 to 2017 he studied acting at the Schauspielschule Charlottenburg in Berlin, which he successfully graduated with a diploma as "Staatlich anerkannter Diplom Schauspieler". Even before his studies, he appeared in the production "Gaza Monologues" at the Konzert Theater Bern, among others, and gained his first experience in front of the camera. After his studies Laurenz was engaged as a guest at the Volkstheater Bautzen and as a dancer at the Deutsches Theater Berlin. He also appeared in various productions of the independent scene and in several short films. He also completed the three-month state-supported further training for actors at "Für den Film" and came into contact with Source Tuning (Jens Roth) as part of this.  2022/2023 Laurenz graduated from the Camera Actor Studio (ISFF) where he was taught, among others, by André Bolouri (Meisner Technique), Bettina Lohmeyer (Susan Batson Method), Beate Maes (10 Block/ Anderson System). In 2024, after having lived in Berlin for the past 10 years, he moved to Oslo, although Berlin remains his second home.
