About me

Christoph Dostal lives and works as actor and on-camera acting coach in both Los Angeles and Vienna (Austria).

Christoph studied acting at the Vienna Conservatory and at the Ivana Chubbuck studio in Los Angeles. He also studied ballet, modern dance and choreography at the renowned London Contemporary Dance School. 

At age 22, Christoph was cast for the leading role in Wolfgang Murnberger´s feature film FOR GOD AND COUNTRY. The film was the official Austrian entry for Best International Film at the Academy Awards and Christoph received a Best European Shooting Star nomination at the international film festival The Stars of Tomorrow. 

Steven Spielberg cast him for his Golden Globe winning TV series BAND OF BROTHERS, directed by Tom Hanks. Christoph also appeared in the British prime-time TV movies SWORD OF HONOUR (starring Daniel Craig) and THE WAITING TIME (starring John Thaw). He then was offered a series regular role in one of the longest running German TV series, FORBIDDEN LOVE, and appeared in more than 200 episodes. 

Thereafter, Christoph produced THE BONE MAN and THE WAY DOGS DO, two one-man-shows, which he was performing in theaters across the world. 

Christoph received a Best Actor Nomination at the International Film Festival in Nice (France), starred in the feature film WiNWiN and appeared in many roles for German and Austrian TV- networks - e. g. in M - A CITY HUNTS A MURDERER by David Schalko. 

In addition to his acting, Christoph Dostal for five years held the position of artistic director of the Theater Wr. Neustadt - founded in 1794 and one of the grandest Austrian theaters - where he was in charge of the annual theater repertoire, established an annual film program and was responsible for a substantial rise in ticket sales. 

For years Christoph has been passionately teaching On-Camera Acting and The Business of Acting in the International Film and TV Industry.
