biography

Jury's comment: With his leading-man looks and seductive charm, Fehling turns Goethe into a real, flesh-and-blood character. A skilful, versatile actor with great cross-over potential.

Hailing from Berlin, 29-year-old Alexander Fehling studied acting at the Hochschule für Schauspielkunst "Ernst Busch" from 2003-2007. During his studies, he began working on the stage and in film, and was presented in 2006 with the Academy of Arts' O.E. Hasse Prize for his role as the Prince in Robert Walser's "Schneewittchen".
He made his film debut in Robert Thalheim's AND ALONG COME TOURISTS (2006), for which he received the Young German Cinema Award as 'Best Actor' at the Filmfest München in 2007.
Alexander then had supporting roles in Heinrich Breloer's BUDDENBROOKS (2007), Hans-Christian Schmid's STORM (2008), and Quentin Tarantino's INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (2009) before taking the main part in Frieder Wittich's 13 SEMESTER (2009).
2010 saw him playing the leads in Philipp Stölzl's GOETHE! and Andres Veiel's fiction feature debut IF NOT US, WHO?, which had its world premier in Competition at the 2011 Berlin International Film Festival. He also took the lead roles in 2010 in Jan Zabeil's THE RIVER USED TO BE A MAN (aka THE ART OF DYING) and in 2011 in SHORES OF HOPE (working title) directed by Toke Constantin Hebbeln.
