Gabrielle Scharnitzky in the new TV series by Roland Emmerich: 'A story of freedom and destiny'

22-02-2024 Gabrielle Scharnitzky is in the new TV Series Those about to Die, directed by Roland Emmerich. The series explores a side of Rome never before told,  the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most, blood and sport. Speaking of his character, Gabrielle says: “Captured by pirates and sold as a slave to the household of wealthy patrician couple, consul Marsus (Rupert Penry-Jones) and his wife Antonia (Gabriella Pession), both reckless and cruel in their thirst for power. Drusilla nursed and raised their daughter Cornelia (Alice Lamanna). It is only Drusilla’s deep love for this girl that lets her overcome the endless hardships under the abusive rule of Antonia and Marsus. Having given up hope that one day she will be set free from slavery, Drusilla carries her destiny with great dignity.
 

Gabrielle recently participated in the Meet & Greet event at the Berlinale Film Festival, the event organized by Crawford Talents, Red Carpet Actors, Black Universe, The Actors Home by Luci Lenox, which aims to create a network between actors, directors and producers. “Networking is one of the most important tasks for every actor, no matter if a beginner or already successfully working in the business – Gabrielle says -. We need to connect with filmmakers, directors, casting directors, fellow actors. We need to get to know each other personally, share, exchange, converse, get info about new projects, but most of all, have the chance to introduce oneself in person and show who we are aside from resumes and picture and show reels. Young actors especially and need to get the chance to do so, because they can’t yet offer an oeuvre of completed works. So it is their commitment, passion, fire that needs to be seen and film festivals are a perfect platform to show up, leave a good and lasting impression and possibly create a beautiful collaboration in the future.  

For future projects, she says: “There are several projects in near sight. However, I'm not yet able to talk about them. But I assure you workwise it will be an exciting 2024”. 

Gabrielle Scharnitzky, a German national, has worked on the television series Devils, Shantaram, Treadstone. In cinema, she has worked on Girl, Interrupted and Anime veloci.
