About me

My name is Abdul Samiu Saliou, and I am deeply passionate about the art of storytelling, especially in film. Born in Ghana, I have called Germany my home for the past 24 years. My journey in acting began on stage during my childhood, where I discovered my love for performing. To further refine my craft, I pursued formal acting training, allowing me to expand my skills and deepen my understanding of the art.

In my commitment to growing as an artist and immersing myself in the film industry, I relocated to Berlin, a vibrant hub for creativity and cinema. Since then, I have had the privilege of contributing to numerous projects as an actor, stand-in, and extra, gaining invaluable experience in diverse roles and productions.

As Stanislavski said: "There are no small roles, only small actors."
