Antonio Wannek

Antonio Wannek was born 1979 in Berlin-Kreuzberg, Germany. Aged 11, Antonio, a rebellious student who felt like he was swimming against the current in school, ran into directorKlaus Gendriesand immediately got the lead in the 14-part mini 'Viel Rummel um Scooter'. Though several parts followed, including the 1992Wolfgang BeckermovieKinderspiele (1992),Antonio turned back to normal life and school-plays. In 1997 he was re-discovered by Edward Bergerwho was looking to find the lead for his movieGomez - Kopf oder Zahl (1998)in Antonio's school. The perfect collaboration with directorEdward Bergeralong with the movie's success from both critics as well as the audience convinced Antonio that he should regard actor as the profession of his life.
