About me

Fanni Schneider, born and raised in Vienna, gained her first acting experience on stage. As a teenager, she was part of the “Junge Burg” youth programme at Vienna’s renowned Burgtheater, while also performing in productions such as Sophie Scholl: A Trial and Elektra at other theatres.

After leaving school, she initially went on to study for a BA in Media and Communication Management, before returning to her creative roots to pursue formal actor training. In 2022, she was cast as one of the four leads in the ORF television series BIESTER, which went on to receive a Romy Award nomination — marking her screen debut.

Alongside her acting work, she also works as a voice artist and enjoys being behind the camera as a photographer. Fanni Schneider is currently based in both Berlin and Vienna.
