Gabrielle Scharnitzky is a multilingual German actress with East Prussian roots, born in a small Bavarian town. Her acting journey began with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in Arthur Penn's Target in the '80s, and since then, she's taken on a wide range of characters in german and international Film & TV productions.

From playing opposite Alan Rickman as a Grand Lady in Mesmer to reading palms as the mysterious Shaila in The Nativity Story, Gabrielle has a knack for diving into diverse roles. She's also taken on high-energy action, doing her own stunts as Russian patriot Petra in Treadstone and appeared alongside Charlie Hunnam in Apple TV's Shantaram.

On the small screen, you might recognize her as Sophie von Brahmberg, the spicy villain from the hit German series Verliebt in Berlin (Ugly Betty), which garnered a German TV Award and is still on air. She's also stepped into the shoes of fierce women in Devils, Love Addicts, and as a slave in Roland Emmerich's sword-and-sandal series Those About to Die.

Beyond acting, Gabrielle is a Transformation Coach, a photography lover, and a passionate traveler. She's been actively supporting women's rights for over 20 years as an ambassador for TERRE DES FEMMES. She is based in Berlin and represented by Zero Gravity Management, Los Angeles.
