Frederick Lau

An actor with captivating physical presence

Frederick Lau was just 13 years old when he played Matthias Selbmann, known as Matz, in the Kästner film adaptation of “The Flying Classroom” (2003). As the strongest student of one school, he defeated the strongest student of another one, thus ending the smoldering school war. A year later, Lau was also seen as a boy in "Bibi Blocksberg and the Secret of the Blue Owls", after which a rapid acting career began for the former Berlin judo master, who had twice won him the German Film Award ("Die Welle", "Victoria"). Physically present like the young Lino Ventura, he also has a fine comedic repertoire, is sometimes lost to the world, sometimes subtle.
