Birgit Stauber Actress
Birgit is an internationally experienced actor working across screen and television, with over 70 roles to her name. Known for her emotional range and bold character work, she is drawn to raw, complex roles — from survivors and outsiders to justice-seekers with grit and fire.
Her work spans genres from drama to action and dark comedy, with notable performances including the action-comedy series "Wild Angels", where she became known as “Raven.” Birgit leads three short films due for a 2026 release.
Originally trained as a professional dancer, Birgit is also skilled in stage combat, mo-cap, and taiko drumming. She thrives in collaborative, story-led environments and is passionate about creating work that connects deeply with audiences and explores the human experience.
She speaks multiple languages, holds EU working rights, and is currently based in Berlin.
