Isabella Schmid

Hi, great that you’ve found your way to my profile – my name is Isabella Schmid.
I am an actress with more than two decades of experience in film, television and theatre, and I feel grateful that I can still make my living from my dream profession.
My strength lies in my versatility and adaptability. I became known for leading roles in TV series such as Hinter Gittern – Der Frauenknast, Das Amt and Lena – Liebe meines Lebens. On the big screen, I portrayed Mama Moll in the comic adaptation Papa Moll, and most recently I appeared in the two-part ZDF crime series Schwarzwaldkrimi.
I am drawn to characters that are not easy – people with contradictions, fragility and real stories. My work combines classical acting techniques with modern camera acting and improvisation, always searching for the emotional truth of a role.
Besides my work in front of the camera, I regularly perform on stage, develop screenplays and pilot ideas, and direct theatre productions. I am fluent in German, Swiss German, English and Greek, with basic knowledge of Italian and French.
I live and work flexibly between Germany and Switzerland and look forward to international film and theatre projects that challenge and inspire me.
