NEU (29.07.2025): Jetzt mit Motorradschein (Klasse A)!!!

Niklas Leifert is a multilingual actor working in German and English, sometimes in French, and rarely in Italian. Born and based in Hamburg, he was raised in Geneva and Washington, D.C. Niklas is an alumni of the Bern University of the Arts. With six years of experience playing leading roles on stage, he shifted his focus to screen acting after attending the prestigious International Screen Acting Workshop at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg.
