Actors: A Dream Job? After Béatrice Ottersbach and Thomas Schadt invited renowned directors to share their experiences in "Directors' Confessions," they now turn to German-speaking actors with their co-editor Nina Haun: How does one actually become an actor? And why does one choose to be an actor? Few professions are as glamorous, and few expose their practitioners to such vulnerability. What is it like to repeatedly step into the shoes of other people, to merge with them, and then let them go? How does one get roles? What roles can an actor take on, and which must they decline? How does one approach these roles, and how does one apply their craft on set? Actor personalities such as Marie Bäumer, Christian Berkel, Daniel Brühl, Sylvester Groth, Hannah Herzsprung, Paula Kalenberg, Ulrike Kriener, and Maren Kroy.
