Career
Laurence Rupp has been in front of the camera since he was a child. At a casting for Commissioner Rex in 1999, Rupp, who was almost twelve years old at the time, stood out and was hired for the episode Terrible Truth. Afterwards, Rupp devoted himself to his school education and only occasionally appeared in front of the camera in small roles, including “Tom and the Beaver Gang” in 2001.
Shortly after passing his Matura in 2006, the director Andreas Prochaska hired him for the horror film You'll Be Dead in 3 Days. The Austrian soap opera Mitten im 8en, in which Rupp appeared in 2007, was cancelled after 56 episodes due to falling ratings.[1][2] In the same year he also starred in the Swiss film comedy Tell by Mike Eschmann. Rupp co-directed the two-part thriller The Last Judgment in 2008 together with Tobias Moretti, whose son he played, directed by Urs Egger.
Since September 2013, he has been an ensemble member of the Vienna Burgtheater. From the 2017–18 season he moved to the Berliner Ensemble under the direction of Oliver Reese.
For Cops he received the 2019 Austrian Film Award for the category Best Male Lead Actor.[4] For his role in the ORF-Landkrimi Vier he was nominated at the TV Film Festival Baden-Baden 2022 together with Manuel Rubey awarded the special prize for outstanding acting performance.[5][6]
