BERLIN (dpa) – Actor Albrecht Schuch (35) will be recognized as a “shooting star” with nine European colleagues this year. The prize is meant to draw attention to specific talent, which is considered a springboard for an international career.

Schuch is best known for his films “Berlin Alexanderplatz” and “Systems Sprinkler” and the TV series “Bad Banks”. The jury praised “a clear desire to push oneself beyond the limits.” He was nominated for Eric Costner’s novel based on Dominic Graf’s new film “Fabian” – which will be released in April. Schuch lives in Berlin.
Also honored are the shooting stars: CD Harla (Finland), Nicholas Maury (France), Natasha Stork (Hungary), Fiona Ozia (Ireland), Ijimanta Elena Jakaita (Lithuania), Martin Lakmeier (Netherlands), , Alba Baptista (Portugal), Gustav Lind (Sweden). Former German “shooting stars” include Daniel Br ൾl, Anna Maria Mahe, Moritz Bleebrew and Jella Hayes.
