Michaela Behal

Michaela Behal was born in Wahlstorfer Felde in 1966. As the daughter of a German mother and an Indian father, she was in a very unusual position for that time and place. From an early age, she was known as "the daughter of the Black man". At the age of six, the desire to become an actress arose. Defying all resistances, she was accepted at the School for Drama in Kiel at the age of twenty. When the school closed after a year and a half, she transferred and graduated from the School for Drama in Hamburg. The first theater engagements soon followed: at the Thalia Theater, the Landesbühne Wilhelmshaven, the Stadttheater Baden-Baden, Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern and the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe. In 1998 her son Leander was born and they moved to Berlin. In the course of this change, Michaela did a further training as a film and television actress and got the female lead in the movie "Schröder's wonderful world" (2006). In 2008 her daughter Soraya was born.
Last year she played the lead role in the short film "Mordgesicht", which premiered at the Filmfest Bremen 2021. Michaela's wishes for future projects are twofold: To play interesting roles and work with great people.
