About me



Richard Gonlag was born in Assen (The Netherlands) in 1965. He studied acting at the Theatre Academy in Arnhem (graduated in 1991). Gonlag has been active in several theatre collectives, including the Wolfsmond theatre group (1990–1993) and the directing collective Het Oranjehotel (1994–1999). In 1998, Richard Gonlag became artistic director at the Groningen Theatre School (1998–2004). What made this training unique was that each student developed their own individual path, although physical theatre was always the primary focus. 
Richard Gonlag has lived in Berlin since 2005. 
It was here that, alongside acting, he began working as a voice-over artist for adverts, promotional films, e-learning, audio guides and dubbing.
He plays Germans in Dutch films, Dutch people in German projects and Britons in independent film projects.
