Biography

Karl is an actor and former lawyer. He trained initially at the Royal Academy of Music and later at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (2013–15). Since graduating, he has worked across theatre, television and film.

Before retraining as an actor, Karl qualified as a solicitor with Linklaters, specialising in international capital markets, derivatives and structured products. He subsequently worked in-house, managing major transactions, regulatory change and cross-border projects for leading financial institutions.

His stage work includes Fiddler on the Roof (Barbican and UK tour), Witness for the Prosecution (West End) and King Charles III (UK tour and Sydney), with screen credits for Apple TV, Warner Bros, Canal+ and TNT.

The culture at BOVTS is encouraging, respectful, welcoming and empowering; the environment and buildings are beautiful and I found Bristol to be one of the most wonderful cities in which to spend summer! Lindy Yeates, Foundation Course Student
