Peter Becker

Peter Becker is an Anglo-German actor. He was born in 1979 in Bad Hersfeld to a German father and a British mother and was raised between Germany and the UK. Becker had his first role as a theatre actor at 15 years old at the renowned Bad Hersfelder Festspiele. At the same time as he was building his acting career, Becker was simultaneously involved in journalism, rising to editor of the Hersfelder Zeitung newspaper’s weekly youth page. After completing his formal education, Becker moved to Berlin, where he became a production assistant and casting director for commercials and music videos. In 2002 he began studying at the prestigious Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts. During this time he was recruited for his first film roles (‘The Loss Of The Pamir’), and further theatre engagements including Deutsches Theater (Berlin) and Thalia Theater (Hamburg). The short film ‘Es Geht Uns Gut’ by Thomas Stuber, on which he worked both as lead actor as well as co-author, won the Advancement Award of the Film Industry of Baden-Wuerttemberg in 2006 and received the title “valuable” by the Film Review Board Wiesbaden in 2007. In addition to working in front of the camera (including 'Unknown (2011 film)’, 'Babylon Berlin', '13 Minutes', ‘Mission To Murder Hitler’ and ‘Bad Banks’) he is regularly performing on stage.
