Hannah Herzsprung

After leaving Hurtwood in 1998, German Hannah began her acting career as Mimi in the TV series Aus heiterem Himmel where she stayed for two years.
She followed this with various minor parts in TV movies such as Dennis Satin’s Das boese Maedchen and Tim Trageser’s Emilia – Die zweite Chance as well as in TV series like SOKO 5113. In 2005, Hannah made her feature film acting debut in Chris Kraus’ Four Minutes and since then has worked with such directors as Alain Gsponer, Nicolai Rohde, Uli Edel, Rudolf Thome & Stephen Daldry. Her portrayal of a talented pianist and prison inmate in Four Minutes earned her a Bavarian Film Award for Best Newcomer Actress at the beginning of 2007 as well as the Bunte readership’s New Faces Award. She subsequently picked up two nominations for the German Film Awards – Best Actress for Four Minutes and Best Supporting Actress for her role in Gsponer’s Life Actually (Das Wahre Leben) – and came away from the awards in May with a Golden Lola for her performance in the latter film. In October, Hannah traveled to the Hamptons International Film Festival to accept the Rising Stars Award and also received the 2007 Undine Award in the category of Best Young Lead Actress for Four Minutes. Apart from her feature film roles, recently she has played Liesl opposite Johannes Herrschmann in Jo Baier’s TV movie Karl Valentin & Liesl Karlstadt. Other films include Solo and Der Tiger im Kaefig.
