Biography
Johannes Krisch was born in Vienna, Austria. Following an apprenticeship as a carpenter it soon became clear that his vocation was acting. After private acting lessons and completing the State Commisson Stage Tests he joined the famous Vienna Burgtheater, where he is still an ensemble player today. He has worked with directors such as Claus Peymann, Jürgen Flim, Hans Neuenfels and Klaus Maria Brandauer.
His most noted feature film performance to date was his portrayal of Alex in Goetz Spielmann’s, Revanche, which was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 81st Academy Awards®.
His other film credits include; Die Vaterlosen a film by Marie Kreutzer, which was shown at the L.A. Film Festival; Isenhart directed by Hansjoerg Thurn; In Another Lifetime directed by Elisabeth Scharang. In 2009 he was nominated for the prestigious Austrian Nestroyaward in the category Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
His next project will be Where I Belong In London, a film by Fritz Urschitz, the story of an immigrants daughter living in England in the late 1950 with her embittered father. In addition, Krisch has appeared in a number of Austrian and German television productions.
Together with Andy Radovan and his Band, he has played at the Vienna Akademietheater and they released a CD entitled Mirrors, featuring new arrangements of the music of Lou Reed and of legendary band The Velvet Underground.
