Patrick Nellessen was born in Munich where he also earned his highschool diploma (Abitur). He finished his non-military service and for two semesters enrolled for German studies at the university. Though he never lost his enthusiasm for the humanities, he did audition in 2009 at one of the most reputable German drama schools, Theaterakademie August Everding, and got accepted right after his first try. During his studies there he did partake in plays at both the Akademietheater and the Prinzregententheater. Following a successful final showcase at his drama school, he was asked by the artistic director of the Theater Erlangen to join the ensemble there. He took the chance and for two years, starting in 2013, he got to play leading characters in classical as well as in modern plays. During those two years, he actually managed to tuck under his belt a whopping 14 different productions. Meanwhile Patrick Nellessen has come back to his home town Munich where he works as a freelance actor. In 2016, he returned to the stage of Munich’s Metropol Theater for the highly successful production of Mnouchkine’s play “Die letzte Karawanserei” (dir.: Jochen Schölch). Also, he was cast in another current production there, “Habe die Ehre” (dir.: Miguel Abrantes Ostrowski) which is the most fast-paced play I have ever come to see.
Let me say that Patrick Nellessen beautifully mastered his first film roles, one of which deserves a special mention: his collaboration with director Sherry Hormann and DoP Michael Ballhaus. In a favorable sense, you can picture the actor Patrick Nellessen as a self-questioning hero. His work seems effortless and evermore focused. If I were to pick the two traits I like most about Patrick, I’d pick his sincere honesty and distinct voice.
