André Schneider
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andre Schneider (born Andre-Marc Schneider) is a writer and actor. He was born on 10 March 1978, in Hildesheim, Germany.
Schneider made his first impression as a stand-up comedian in Great Britain and Ireland, before he chalked up a string of parts in international film productions, such as The Tulse Luper Suitcases (directed by Peter Greenaway) and Deed Poll (co-starring Barbara Kowa). In theater, he has appeared as Puck in Ian Talbot's West End production of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. He reprised the part four years later unter different direction.
In 2006, he wrote, produced and starred in Half Past Ten, based on the Marguerite Duras novel, Dix heures et demie du soir en été, co-starring Kerstin Linnartz. Other film credits include Riot at the Rite with Adam Garcia and Alex Jennings and The Last Drop with Billy Zane. Since 2005, Schneider has appeared in various Spanish independent films, most notably in the lackluster La paz de tus ojos tristes by director Anthony Himbs. He speaks German, English, French and Spanish fluently.
Between 1997 and 2006, Schneider has also released some music albums with limited availability, such as Lover's Space and Letters From the Whorehouse Exile. His first book, Life is a Sexually Transmitted Disease, was published in 2004.
