Gabrielle Scharnitzky in Roland Emmerich's new TV series.

The actress Gabrielle Scharnitzky is in the new TV series Those about to Die, directed by Roland Emmerich. The series explores a never-before-told side of ancient Rome: the business of entertaining the masses, giving viewers what they crave most, blood and sport.

Speaking about her character, Gabrielle says: “I am captured by pirates and sold as a slave to the family of a rich patrician couple, the consul Marsus (Rupert Penry-Jones) and his wife Antonia (Gabriella Pession), both unscrupulous and cruel in their thirst for power. Drusilla cared for and raised their daughter Cornelia (Alice Lamanna). It is only Drusilla's deep love for this girl that allows her to overcome the endless difficulties under the abusive rule of Antonia and Marsus. Having lost hope of being freed from slavery, Drusilla carries out her destiny with great dignity."

Gabrielle recently attended the Meet & Greet event on Berlin Film Festival, organized by Crawford Talents, Red Carpet Actors, Black Universe, The Actors Home of Luci Lenox, which aims to create a network between actors, directors and producers. “Networking is one of the most important tasks for every actor, no matter if you are a beginner or already successfully working in the world of work – says Gabrielle – We need to connect with directors, directors, casting directors, fellow actors. We must get to know each other personally, share, exchange, converse, obtain information on new projects, but above all have the opportunity to present ourselves in person and show who we are beyond CVs, photos and show reels. Especially young actors must have the opportunity to do this, because they cannot yet offer a finished work. So it is their commitment, their passion, their fire that needs to be seen and film festivals are a perfect platform to show up, leave a good and lasting impression and possibly create a nice collaboration in the future.”

As for future plans, he says: “There are several projects in sight. However, I am not able to talk about it yet. But I assure you that from a work point of view it will be an exciting 2024."

Gabrielle Scharnitzky, of German nationality, has worked on TV series Devils, Shantaram, Treadstone. At the cinema she worked in Interrupted girls e Fast souls.
