Marlon Kittel

Marlon Kittel (born December 11, 1983 in Essen) is a German actor.

Life and work

Marlon Kittel started working for the film industry as a stuntman for the German TV series Der Clown[1] before he was discovered as an actor. Since 1999, he has had roles in more than a dozen movies and has made a number of appearances on German TV series like The Old Fox and Polizeiruf 110. His popularity increased in Germany when the 2004 movie Summer Storm came to the cinemas; Marlon played a gay character named Leo. It was the second time he had appeared in a movie with Robert Stadlober (after Verschwende Deine Jugend, 2003). It was also the second time playing a gay character; his first appearance in such a role was in the short movie Freunde (The Whiz Kids, 2000). Kittel has also had roles in over 20 German television movies and shows between 2006–2013 and has been a voice actor in several audio dramas.[1]

Personal

Besides acting, Kittel plays the piano, saxophone and drums. He is also fluent in English and can speak Spanish and French fairly well. He has basic knowledge of how to dance the Flamenco, and for sports, he does floor exercises, ice hockey, fencing, apparatus gymnastics, handball, inline skating, karate, kick boxing, rock climbing, parkour, paddling, sailing, skiing, snowboarding, tennis, and wind surfing.[2] In an interview in 2010, he stated that he prefers to work instead of getting welfare.
