Philip Bender

About me

Philip Bender is a true Berlin boy. Even as a child, he loved to dress up and played small theater roles from a very early age. But acting is only one of his many talents. Today Philip works not only as an actor, but also as a painter and rapper. He was allowed to present his first solo exhibition in Düsseldorf in 2021 and has been performing as a rapper under the stage name "Lebemann" since 2015. His easy-going, laid-back nature is reflected in his sounds as well as in his song lyrics.
Philip is always looking for new acting challenges and remarkable characters to breathe that special something into. His desire is to be a permanent part of a series format and to always evolve as an actor.
