NATIONALITY
Citizen of Germany
PROFESSIONAL CAREER CLASSIFICATION: ACTOR
I am sure many of you have read resumes where a person will tell you WHAT they
are and not WHO they are. In doing so, they attempt to create this imaginary
identity around their career. I have seen this with careers such as an
accountant, an analyst, a therapist, a sales-man, and yes, even an executive. In
the end though, that still does not answer the question of who they are.
This would be comparable to a dog barking, "I can roll over, sit, and play
dead on command in three different languages! I have had three masters and
fulfilled a different set of needs for each one! I am looking for a new master
at this time, so anyone interested should look at my credentials and my
pedigree."
This would be great if I were a dog!
However, I am not a dog! I am a gay man in a man's world who wants and needs the
respect befitting any and all men (gay, straight, Christian, Jewish,
Moslem.....................)
So, what am I and who am I? I am a 43 year-old gay male actor with a great deal
of experience in many facets of living in today's ever-changing industrialized
information hungry society!
I see myself as an ever-changing ever-growing humane human who is here to
experience life to its fullest! These
life experiences in turn help any and all of my appearances and performances
convey an austere sense of directness and security, making people quite aware of
the fact that I have absolute control of whatever stage I am on.
I have included some of my skills and accomplishments in order to put a little
detail, colour and sharpness into the self-portrait I am trying to create here!
Just remember that any portrait I present to you is only ONE of the many frames
in the suspense-filled motion picture I call: "My Life".
FOREIGN LANGUAGES – Learning, speaking, and writing many a foreign language is
a deep passion of mine. To me it is a reminder of the times when Europe's elite
frequently travelled and socialized throughout the historic cities of Paris,
Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen, Madrid, Barcelona and many more. Learning the
histories, the languages, conversing with the peoples in their native tongue and
experiencing their cities, geography, and customs takes me back to the days of
yore and the magic that had given them their birth.
To me this is indeed a
beautiful awakening experience and also presents an opportunity to effectively
portray a varying assortment of other character roles, which would normally not
be an option in my home country.
It also helps me to present
selected roles of foreigners with cultural and national sensitivity. After all,
as a German actor, I am very proud of my heritage and also quite aware of my
country's history. I take great offence when the simple mentioning of my Germany
ancestry / citizenship is immediately greeted with someone attempting to make me
feel guilty for the holocaust and/or other atrocities of WWII.

FORMAL ACTOR TRAINING (OR LACK THEREOF):
To
justify my lack of a formal training / education in Theatre arts, I would like
to make reference to the mystic named OSHO!
It
does not matter whether you paint, sculpt, or make shoes; whether you are a
gardener, a farmer, a fisherman, a carpenter -- it does not matter. What matters
is, "are you putting your very soul into what you are creating?" Then
your creative products have something of the quality of divine.
Except creativity, there is nothing divine.
Creativity
is the greatest rebellion in existence.
If
you want to create, you have to get rid of all conditionings otherwise your
creativity will be nothing but copying, it will be just a carbon copy. You can
be creative only if you are an individual, you cannot create as a part of the
mob psychology. The mob psychology is uncreative; it lives a life of drag, it
knows no dance, no song, no joy; it is mechanical.
For the record, Osho (Bhagwan
Shree Rajneesh) is the most prolific author on this planet with over 650 books (
64 million words) in print. He is an enlightened mystic from India whose
wisdom has impacted millions of people. Even after he left his body in
1990, Osho's teachings continue to grow and inspire spiritual seekers around the
world today. He teaches us how to become a whole again, connected to
Source, a more authentic human being, and someone who celebrates life
passionately as well with a deep sensitivity to it.
