Romy Miesner

Romy Miesner? Oh, she’s got one of those faces you spot on German TV and instantly go, “Wait, where do I know her from?” She’s got a knack for popping up in all sorts of stuff. Most folks these days probably recognize her from The Calendar Killer (2024)—creepy thriller, if you’re into that sort of thing. The film’s all about this murderer who picks victims according to dates on a calendar. It’s the kind of story that keeps you up way past your bedtime, double-checking your locks. Romy doesn’t just blend in; she brings this weird mix of vulnerability and steeliness to her role. You can’t look away. But, she’s no rookie. Back in the day, she showed up on Polizeiruf 110, which is basically a German TV institution. That show’s been running forever, and getting a spot on it’s almost like a rite of passage for actors over there. It’s all about the gritty police work, complicated cases, that sort of thing. Romy fit right in—no surprise there. Then there’s Tierärztin Dr. Mertens, where things get a bit lighter (and sometimes, let’s be honest, cheesier). It’s a family drama focusing on a veterinarian, set in a Leipzig zoo. A lot of heartfelt moments, animal shenanigans, and Romy brings warmth to her scenes. There’s just something about her—she makes you believe whatever world she’s in. Not every actor can do that, but she pulls it off, whether she’s chasing down a serial killer or wrangling a runaway llama.
