Long before stepping in front of the camera, Linus was already drawn to performing and creating. He spent four years at circus school and another four studying acting at Hamburg’s Schauspielhaus, alongside playing violin and bass and trying his hand at everything from painting to photography. Today, the Hamburg native works in event and film production, creating the kind of real-life experiences that bring people together. Sport has always been another big part of his life, from tennis and basketball to surfing, skating and horse riding—a skill he’s particularly proud of. Whether behind the camera, in front of it or working on a production, Linus feels most at home when there’s something to create. Give him a day off, though, and he’ll happily trade all of that for a swim, good food and a party.
