About Herbert Forthuber
I'm an german-austrian actor, speaking German, Austrian, English and French fluently, based in Munich, Vienna and London. My acting career took rise after various lifetime experiences, acting school in Austria and masterclass coachings by renowned acting coaches Sue Dunderdale (Actors Studio Pinewood/London, Suzanne Geyer (Germany), Bernard Hiller and Kirk Baltz (L.A.)
Among others, I appeared recently in Tatort-Lass den Mond am Himmel stehen, as 'Dr. Christhoph Schickl' in the German crime series 'Hubert ohne Staller', in the acclaimed movie 'Mein Blind Date mit dem Leben' (Dir. Marc Rothemund-Oscar nominee) and as 'Solicitor Mr. Denton' in the iconic Rosamunde Pilcher TV Movies. Aside from German and Austrian films, I landed roles in international productions such as 'James Bond: A Quantum of Solace' as a 'Quantum Partyguest' and as 'Général D'Arbanville' in the US/international television series 'OUTLANDER'.
I speak German, Austrian, English and French fluently.
