About me

Giovanni Rupp was born in Bad Homburg, Germany, and completed his acting training at Schauspielstudio Frese in Hamburg. During his studies, he appeared in various stage productions and in 2009 played a role in the feature film Soul Kitchen directed by Fatih Akin.

He held permanent ensemble positions at Junges Theater Bonn, Landestheater Tübingen, and Theater Baden-Baden. Guest engagements followed at Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe in Hamlet, at Schauspielbühnen Stuttgart in Piaf (audience award), at Theater Reutlingen as Karl von Moor in The Robbers (2020), and at Grenzlandtheater Aachen as Dan Aykroyd in Blues Brothers (2023).

Since the 2018/19 season, he has been a permanent ensemble member at Theater Trier, where his roles have included Mephisto in Doktormutter Faust, William Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love, Napoleon in Animal Farm, and Zaza/Albin in La Cage aux Folles. In 2024, he co-directed Spring Awakening alongside Manfred Langner and was responsible for acting coaching for the production’s young performers.

He was nominated for the Theatermaske Trier in 2019, 2022, and 2025, receiving the award in 2022. In addition to his stage work, Rupp works as a voice actor, serves as a volunteer juvenile court judge, and was the official patron of the 2025 CSD (Christopher Street Day) in Trier.
