Award-winning Viennese artist Lucas Englander expresses joy over receiving the ROMY nomination on an international scale
Lucas Englander, a 32-year-old native Viennese, has gained recognition in international streaming productions with his most significant role to date in the second season of "Nine Perfect Strangers." The Amazon Prime series, which also stars Nicole Kidman, has seen Englander nominated for the ROMY award in the "most popular actors TV/Streaming" category.
Englander's role as pharmacologist Martin Siebmacher in "Nine Perfect Strangers" was his most challenging to date. In an intense portrayal, characters in the series even "hug trees," a continuation of the title's theme. During the PR tour for the series, Englander spent two months in the U.S.
While in the U.S., Englander found dialogue to be gaining more importance. He spoke to people, including Trump voters who support ICE deportations, and found it interesting that they also wanted to stand respectfully towards each other.
Englander values the concept of public voting for the ROMY award as a means of dialogue and getting to know the nominees better. He interprets the ROMY gala as an opportunity for discussion among nominees and the audience.
The ROMY award nomination is not the only upcoming project for Englander. He is also set to star in the film "The Girl with the Leica," playing the role of war photographer Gerda Taro's associate. In 2026, Englander will appear in the Austrian film "Bruno - The Young Kreisky" in a supporting role.
In addition to his acting career, Englander is also passionate about societal dialogue. He suggests bringing together representatives of different groups to discuss problems and find solutions, such as through shared gardening. Englander gardens at a cooperative on the roof of a public building in Montreuil, where he currently lives.
Englander is also promoting a future project by a highly respected and admired director, but the specific project is not mentioned in the provided search results. The actor is excited about the possibility of working with someone he admires deeply.
As Englander continues to make a name for himself in the international acting scene, he has expressed a desire to work more in Austria. His nomination for the ROMY award is a testament to his success and a potential stepping stone towards achieving this goal.
