Priscilla Wittman, sometimes known as Priscilla Wittmann, is an Mexican-American-German actress and music composer. Since the 1990's, she has worked in both film and television in the USA and in Europe.
Most recently, Priscilla makes a brief appearance in the indie mockumentary comedy Easy Digging (2024). She also appears as an English woman in the latest Lassie film: Lassie - Ein neues Abenteuer (2023), which continues to show in cinemas throughout Europe. In the German/Finnish comedic drama Sweet Disaster (2021), she takes on the role of Josephine, which debuted in 2024 on the French/German television networks ARTE and ZDF. As a participant in the Playground Film Festival in Leuven, Belgium (2021), she performed live, interacting with the artistic film: You have a future, but it looks a lot like your Past! Priscilla can also be seen in the delightful comedy 36 Husbands (2019). Her performance as the older "Talli" in the psychological thriller 8 Remains (2018) was described by film critic Bobby LePire as "impressive, suggesting heartbreak and confusion with just a few lines of dialogue". In 55 Steps ( a/k/a Eleanor and Colette) (2017), she characterized the role of a serious nurse and had the chance to work closely alongside Hillary Swank, under the direction of the renowned Danish Academy Award-winning film and television director Bille August. Additionally, she can be seen in the indie film Edda Tudor (2019), To be a Soldier (2018), and Providence (2016). Over the past 30 years, Priscilla has taken on a variety of roles, including that of a reporter, a sophisticated middle aged women, scorned wife, therapist, nurse and loving/grieving mother, to name a few.
In 2009, Priscilla completed her first CD entitled Te Glorificare (I will Glorify your Name), where she sings a variety of her original Spanish Christian compositions. The initial tracks for the CD were recorded under the direction of the late world-renowned Mexican composer and singer, (her former father-in-law) Luis Demetrio (composer of Sway, Si Dios me Quita la Vida), and his son Luis Jr. She continues to actively work in music composition, and in 2019, she was contracted to arrange the Christmas orchestral selections for the annual Christmas greeting of the mayor of Duesseldorf, Germany.
She studied composition with the American classical composer Robert Xavier Rodriguez and voice with Barbara Chenault Law, who was a former student of Madame Paola Novikova (teacher of Nicolai Gedda and George London). A native English speaker, Priscilla also speaks fluent Spanish and German with a basic knowledge of Italian and Portuguese. At the moment, she is in the process of learning Swedish!
