Tom Schilling
Known for
Tom Schilling has grown into a veteran German actor with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. 'Woman in Gold' counts among the more visible credits. The early stretch of the career is the part least seen today. Drama accounts for the largest share of the work. With 56 credits to his name, volume is part of the story. In cinemas, 'Who Am I' is the work that stuck — Benjamin, specifically.
