I'm Manuel Santos Gelke, I'm 18 years old, German and Portuguese and I graduated from high school in 2022. I've been acting since I was 12 years old and with my first leading role "Otto" in the movie Benjamin Blümchen I laid the foundation for my current enthusiasm for acting. Since then I have been able to work on many other projects.
Besides acting, I'm also very interested in music. I received professional vocal training in the Staats- und Domchor Berlin and have been composing my own songs since 2022, which interweave longing, poetry and melancholy. I play violin, piano and guitar. I am also very fascinated by writing poetry, short stories, reflections on life and novels. In addition to artistic interests, the natural sciences inspire me, which is why I started studying biochemistry in the winter semester of 2022/23. Back when I was in highschool, I took part in numerous scientific competitions, which I mastered successfully.
