Overview

• Betterov, born Manuel Bittorf, discovered his passion for acting serendipitously while seeking a space to explore music at the Eisenach Theater.
• Initially joining the theater as a pianist, he gradually transitioned into acting roles, despite not initially aspiring to become an actor.
• The Eisenach Theater's lack of a traditional stage fostered experimental performances, including nightly scenes where actors startled restaurant guests by running through blood-smeared.
• In 2016, Betterov moved to Berlin to formally study acting while continuing to refine his musical skills, aiming to integrate both disciplines in his career.
• Speaking on the RBB-Fritz podcast, Betterov highlighted how his formative experiences in Eisenach and Berlin have shaped his dual career as a musician and actor.
