Lewis (Film Tech), Sam Christensen (S. Chr. Process) and Frank Betzelt, Berlin (Meisner technique). He began his professional life with the German/Swiss film "Immer & Ewig" a.k.a. "Always & Forever", a modern version of the Jean-Paul Sartre play "Les Jeux sont faits" a.k.a.  "The Game is over". At the same time he also started in theaters all over Germany with plays of Shakespeare, Goethe and others.

Through the war movies Stalingrad and Hasenjagd a.k.a. The Quality of Mercy he discovered his fondness and ability to play emotional disturbed and volatile characters.

In 2005 he was a Presenter at the European Film Awards under the direction of Pepe Dankquart.

He is working with a German director on the script of "Rigby". A film about death and the process of dying. The story explores the question if you are able to live in the presence of your own mortality and transience, what benefits for your life you will get out of it ?! For research he worked a few weeks in a local hospice. He will also play the main part in the film.

In 2013 he did the "Raindance Berlin Documentary Foundation Course" (Raindance Film Festival) to expand his abilities as a filmmaker because he started working on two Documentaries for the first time.

From 2013 to 2015 he was Coach and Director for Prison Theater in Women's Prison Berlin - Pankow for the projects "Home" and "Identity".
