Thekla Reuten

Immediately after completing her studies, Thekla Reuten was assuming leading roles in major national and international film and theatre productions. With her extraordinary acting talent, the actress navigates with great ease between the cultural distinctions of different productions. She speaks five languages (German, English, French, Dutch and Italian) and is currently one of the most well-known actresses in Europe.

Since the beginning of her career, the actress has demonstrated a special, authentic way of acting and an intuitive ability to transform. Her characters in film and theatre are multi-faceted expressions of human motives. Her sublime and intelligent acting testifies to an above average intuition for the essence of the figures. With a deep understanding for the idiosyncrasies of the characters, Thekla Reuten creates her own approach to work out the contradiction, humanity and ambiguity of the figures genuinely, and to lend them authenticity and a closeness to real life.

Her outstanding performances have made her an internationally sought after actress for film and television. Thus, she appears in many major and ambitious television productions such as ‘BELLA BETTIEN’ (AVRO, Netherlands), ‘HIDDEN’ (BBC, Great Britain), ‘RESTLESS’ (BBC, Great Britain), and ‘SLEEPER CELL’ (Showtime, USA). In film, she has captivated both audiences and the press in successes such as ‘DA GEHT NOCH WAS’ (There is More to Come), ‘HET DINER’, ‘HOTEL LUX’, ‘IN BRUGES’ or ‘THE AMERICAN’, as well as the Oscar nominated films ‘EVERYBODY’S FAMOUS!’ and ‘TWIN SISTERS’. Coming next, she can be seen in the Dutch movie ‘ATLANTIC.’ and the British movie production ‘THE LEGEND OF LONGWOOD’ in the role of Lisa Miller. Thekla Reuten actively supports the organizations ‘The Green Film Making Project’ (www.strawberryearth.com) and ‘Terre des Hommes’ (www.terredeshommes.org).
