About me

Hey! I’m Anja Andersen. I’m a Norwegian-Swiss actress. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Acting at the Zurich University of the Arts, studied at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, and trained in screen acting at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg. Beyond film and theatre, I’m passionate about the environment, politics, social issues, audiobooks, strength training, photography, snowboarding, Italy, and my beagle Stella.
