Laura Wachauf

So, Laura Wachauf—she’s not exactly a household name yet, but if you’ve been paying any attention to German cinema or Netflix’s wild sci-fi offerings, you’ve probably caught her work without realizing. First up, there’s “Fack ju Göhte” from 2013. Absolute chaos. That movie kind of blew up for its over-the-top humor and not-so-typical teacher-student antics. Laura didn’t hog the spotlight, but her role definitely added some spark to a cast that was already pretty unhinged. She’s got this knack for blending into the madness while still making you remember her face. Not everyone does that—most people just fade into the background in these ensemble comedies. Then there’s “Biohackers” from 2020. If you’re into suspense with a healthy dose of science fiction and moral gray areas, this show’s right up your alley. Laura steps into this high-stakes world of bioengineering, secret experiments, and all the ethical dilemmas that come with playing God. The series is slick, full of twists, and doesn’t really pull its punches. She brings a kind of grounded energy to the madness—makes the whole “med student caught up in illegal science” thing feel plausible. You end up rooting for her, even when everything’s spiraling. Oh, and don’t sleep on “Brick”—that one's set for 2025. Not a ton of info out yet, but with her track record, it’s probably worth keeping an eye out. Plus, if her past performances are anything to go by, she’s only going to get more interesting as she gets bigger roles.
