GITTA WITZEL
BIO
Berlin-based German actress Gitta Witzel always knew she wanted to pursue a career in acting. After her first stage performance at age seven, she steadily progressed in her acting career, garnering extensive experience in the film industry, both on and off- camera. She has since worked her way up from being an extra to leading roles often portraying strong female characters who have overcome immense adversity – the so- called „wounded warrior”.
Always eager to work internationally, Gitta enhanced her English-speaking skills through language courses in Los Angeles, a work & travel program in Canada, and academic studies in Australia. Since 2012, she has been actively involved in the German TV industry and expanded her knowledge by working in various departments, she has also produced two short film productions herself.
With recent appearances in „SOKO WISMAR – TÖDLICHER TORF“, „DER ÜBERFALL“ and „DEUTSCHLAND 89“, Gitta has built up an impressive resume that makes curious for what is to come.
