Tom Mikulla

Tom Mikulla started his classical theater education at the Hochschule Leipzig. During his years at drama school he was already offered several film roles and by the time he finished his studies he had been cast in the TV series Fahrschule Kampmann as well as in Und Tschüss! Sadly, the latter was the only production so far that granted him the opportunity to create a character with a Saxon accent. Tom Mikulla loves his home town of Dresden but states (in a clear standard German accent): "It is very difficult for productions to place a Saxon-speaking character on a show because for the audience he or she will most often come across as the stereotypical goofball". It is definitely not the goofball type that Tom Mikulla usually gets cast for in TV series like Motorrad Cop, Medicopter, or Rosenheim Cops, but instead, he plays roles like policemen, pilots, detectives, guys that have their heart in the right place. Nevertheless, Tom Mikulla also loves to play the slick and two-faced desperado type of guy and manages to portray both kinds of roles in a perfectly convincing way.

In spring 2013, Tom Mikulla performed on the stage of Dresden's Societaetstheater in a new play called Sprechende Männer (dir.: Thomas Stecher), which portrays two stereotypical men having a not-so-typical conversation on ways of life in our society.
