René Sydow

René Sydow is every inch an actor. A witty, funny and empathic person, who lives his life on sets and on the stage. As he is married to a musician, he plays a number of instruments. And he does this with the same love and passion, that he puts in his acting and his life.
He began his professional career at the age of sixteen. After engagements at the Staatstheater Stuttgart and the Dortmund Theater, he studied directing and producing at the WAM Dortmund and made three feature films and a dozen of short films as a writer/director.
As an actor, he is not fixed to a genre. You can find him as well in light comedy as in horror films, as a supporting actor in daily soaps or as the leading man on prestigious stages. René Sydow is an acting workhorse. And because he speaks a quite perfect American English, he works a lot with American, British and Danish filmmakers.
Since 2014, he appears as a comedian. His own solo shows earned him high regard and he has won 24 prizes for them. He appears in important comedy shows on television and radio. This made him one of the most important representatives of political satire in Germany.
