Julia Nika Neviandt
Actress
Growing up Julia Nika Neviandt wanted to be a pirate. Or pope. Instead she we went on to complete a three-year full-time musical theatre training in Munich, Germany. In the following years she regularly took the stage with musical theatre galas and her cover band, but soon decided to focus on acting. To brush up her acting chops she took numerous screen acting classes in Munich, and in 2014 studied Acting Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London, UK. Apart from many short films and image spots, she has appeared as a Guest Star in the wildly successful Bavarian soap opera “Dahoam is Dahoam” ("Home is Home"), in the TV movie “Irgendwas bleibt immer” (“Something always stays”), and in the 3rd season of the award-winning series “Parliament”. On stage she took on the part of Sibyl Chase in Noël Coward’s “Die Hochzeitsreise” (“Private Lives”).
Since 2015 Julia also works as a writer. With a colleague she wrote two episodes of the German crime-action series “Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei” ("Alarm for Cobra 11 – The Highway Police"), created and wrote the detective noir series “Dunkelstadt” (“Darktown”), worked on the reboot of “Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction” and published the novel “Schatten über Colonia” (“Shadows over Colonia”), a murder mystery set in Roman-Germanic Cologne 87 AD.
Nonetheless, Julia’s first love is and will always be acting, and to further hone her skills she’s always on the lookout for workshops and masterclasses. Apart from acting, Julia still enjoys singing and dancing, but also likes to try new things like gun shooting or Krav Maga. As a writer and as an actor she’s mostly drawn to smart and witty characters as well as those with a dark and twisted side.
Julia is based in Germany and England.
