I was born in Lienz, Austria.

Like most people, I didn’t do much at this age (other than show off my double chin), but a few years later I was singing in a rock band, and also pretty good at tennis. Can you tell?

I wanted to be a professional singer and went to study musical theater in Vienna, Austria (ooff, the ballet training was intense!).

(2nd from the left, that’s me.)

After graduating I moved to Hamburg, Germany to be part of the hit show Mamma Mia there.

Not a year later I was offered the part of Radames in the German production of Elton John’s Broadway hit Aida.

After two years and 500 + performances, I moved to New York City and shifted my acting training from stage and musicals to Film and TV, and before I knew it I was off to Hollywood in sunny California.

I’ve been in LA for ten years now, and I’m happy to call this wonderful place my home.
