Leonie Maraska Menzel

My name is Leonie Maraska, I am a 22 year old actress born and raised in Bavaria and Southern Norway. In 2022 I started my education at the Otto Falckenberg Schule für Schauspiel in Munich. 

The essence of my life lies in my family, particularly my siblings in Norway—explaining my proficiency in Norwegian. Music holds a close second; I've sung in choirs since age 6 and played guitar since 11. Since 16, I've expanded my vocal skills from classical to rock, pop, and jazz. 

My most important characteristics are probably my physicality and athleticism- I reach high levels of training quite fast in various sports, my favorites are horseback riding (since 11), swimming (multiple times a week since 15), kickboxing (intensive training from 2021-2022), and yoga (since 16). My acting training delves into stage combat, ballet, modern dance, acrobatics, and partnering.

As an actress, I'm dedicated to promoting diverse representations in theater, film, and television. While these interests guide my journey, exposure in film and TV infuses my acting career with greater purpose and meaning.

As part of a Workshop I produced a music video which can be found on YouTube, as well as some screen material:
