Jean-Pierre Schillings

Hello
The 2020 pandemic marked a turning point in my life. After a fulfilling 35-year career, including 9 years in the military and 26 years in business, I chose to dedicate myself fully to a new adventure: becoming an actor! 

This unconventional path has been a true strength. Rich and unique, it has allowed me to develop great discipline, a strong ability to adapt, and genuine interpersonal skills that I now apply to the arts.A chameleon, I thrive in a wide variety of environments, whether in front of the camera for fiction films, documentaries, and commercials; on stage for shows and operas (including sword fight choreography); or behind a microphone to bring character creations to life and provide voice-over work. 
I equally enjoy portraying historical or iconic figures with a real presence, such as Charles V, Victor Hugo, or Louis Lumière, as I do more contemporary roles. When the script calls for it, I also perform roles in foreign languages, with the same rigorous preparation. 

I host the show "Cinema is my life" (available on break4movie.com), a project that explores and highlights the behind-the-scenes professions of the film industry. 
I am currently training in directing, which enriches my artistic vision and strengthens my understanding of directing actors and developing a project. 

Being a multidisciplinary actor allows me to be comfortable in all styles and atmospheres, while placing great importance on co-creating through sharing and collaboration.
