About me

I am a German-Italian actor trained at the Oxford School of Drama, working across film, television and theatre in Italian, German and English.

I recently completed the 2025/26 Italian tour as Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, for which I received the Rainbow Award for Best Performance at the 4th edition of the Rainbow Awards (2026).

In 2025, I received the Nastro d’Argento with the ensemble cast of Ferzan Özpetek’s Diamanti. I have recently wrapped a new feature directed by Nanni Moretti.
