Theresa Sophie Albert

In the Germany, hardly any other actress switches so effortlessly between serious and comedic roles, between theatre and cinema as well as between being in front of and behind the camera as Theresa Sophie Albert. No fixed roles - a trademark of the Palatinate-born actress.

Growing up surrounded by artists in her father's studio, Theresa Sophie Albert came into contact with a wide variety of art forms at an early age. While her peers spent their time on the fairground bumper cars, she went to the theatre.
