August Wittgenstein: More Than Just a Pretty Face (and Title)
Okay, so you might not know August Wittgenstein’s name yet, but trust me, you will. This guy is seriously making waves in European film and TV. He’s German, incredibly handsome, and—most importantly—a truly captivating actor. He's one of those actors who just *owns* a role, you know? The kind you don’t just watch; you feel invested in.
I mean, the guy’s range is insane. He’s equally convincing playing Karl Tennstedt, a German naval officer in the acclaimed series Das Boot (talk about intense!), as he is in The Crown on Netflix – a complete 180 if I’ve ever seen one! And then there's his recent role in Ku'damm 77, a three-part miniseries set in 1977 Berlin. Seriously, the man’s a chameleon!
A Prince Among Actors
But it’s not just the acting. Turns out, Wittgenstein isn't your average actor. He’s actually a member of the princely House of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg! And not just a member in name only; he’s fluent in German, Swedish, and English. That explains the international appeal, I guess. Honestly, who saw that coming? He also has a degree from Georgetown University in Theatre Studies and International History—which kind of makes his ability to inhabit such complex characters make a lot more sense.
Diving into NR.24
He’s got some seriously exciting projects lined up, too. One that’s really got people talking is NR.24, a Norwegian World War II drama. It's slated for release on Netflix January 1st, 2025, and it's already generating a lot of buzz. It's got an 8.1/10 on IMDb, which is pretty impressive before it’s even out. He plays Siegfried Fehmer, a German officer—and from what I've heard, it’s a role that adds a fascinating layer of moral ambiguity to the story of Gunnar Sønstby, a Norwegian resistance leader. It sounds intense!
Beyond the Big Screen
And if all that wasn't enough, Wittgenstein even appeared on Bares für Rares, a popular German antiques show, showcasing some family heirlooms. It’s not every day you see a prince showing off his family’s treasures on TV! It just adds to the whole unique, multifaceted persona that he’s cultivated. This just shows how much this guy is willing to do. He's not afraid to try new things, and it adds to his charm.
The Verdict? A Star in the Making
August Wittgenstein isn’t just another pretty face (though, let’s be honest, he is pretty!). He’s a genuinely talented actor who's committed to his craft, and it shows in his work. With his range, his background, and the exciting projects on the horizon, it’s clear he’s poised for even bigger things. This guy is definitely someone to watch. You can bet I’ll be tuning in to see what he does next!
