Nils Willers Actor
Schauspieler, Autor, Regisseur aus Berlin.
Der in Hamburg geborene Nils Willers begann 1982 sein Studium der Theaterwissenschaft in Berlin, entschied sich jedoch schnell für die praktische Bühne und legte 1986 sein Schauspieldiplom ab. Seitdem ist er als freischaffender Schauspieler, Autor, Regisseur und Produzent tätig. In Berlin führte er ein kleines Zimmertheater in Kreuzberg und war Teil des Theaterkollektivs Vanilla Gorgon. Nach dem Mauerfall spielte er unter anderem am Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam, mitbegründete das Theater Thikwa sowie das Jugendtheater Havarie.
Nach der Jahrtausendwende führten ihn Engagements mit der Minako Seki Company auf internationale Bühnen in Südamerika, den USA, Japan und ganz Europa. In seiner bisherigen Laufbahn stand er in über 150 Produktionen auf der Bühne und in 30 Produktionen vor der Kamera. 2009 wurde er mit der Berliner Compagnie mit dem Aachener Friedenspreis ausgezeichnet.
Von 2015 bis 2018 spielte er am Landestheater Detmold, seit 2018 ist er regelmäßiger Gast am Theater Ulm und in der Spielzeit 2023/24 auch am Staatstheater Wiesbaden. Als Autor veröffentlichte er die Stücke Siebzehn Minuten bis Bielefeld und Flucht nach vorn im Drei Masken Verlag. Zudem brachte er 2022 das Kinderhörspiel Die großen Bäume für Hörer ab acht Jahren heraus. 2025 stand er als Schrank in West Side Story bei den Eutiner Festspielen auf der Bühne, spielte in sechs Filmen mit und den Scheuch am Theater Ulm im Zauberer von Oz.
2026 begann mit einem weiteren Kurzfilm und den Vorproben von Ödon von Horvaths "Hin und Her " in der Rolle des Ferdinand Havlicek bei den Schlossfestspielen Ettlingen.
