Writing to Jo, Thore etc...

[lolaruns]

Because it gets brought up a lot. The agency websites of the actors list their various skills.

Jo: English, French, Italian [website here]
Thore: English (fluent), French [website here]
Andreas (=Gregor): English, French [website here]

Write to:

Pressebüro "Verbotene Liebe"
z.Hd. [Name of Person You Want here]
COLONEUM
Studios 37/38
Butzweiler Str. 255
50829 Köln

(respectively Cologne, Germany, Europe instead of "Köln" if you are unsure)

Of course it's possible that they are lying about their language skills (hey they are presenting themselves), but being capable of decent English is not that rare in Germany, so I think it's more likely that they are lying about the other languages somebody should totally test then.

And even if their English sucks, at least their return letters should be fairly amusing.

daserste says If you would like to get an autograph or some sort of reply, enclose an envelope with your address and the appropriate stamps already on it . I have no idea how strict that ruling is, but this is what they say on their website.

If you are unsure about postage, I found this site: www.porto-info.de/

Do you suppose it would be inappropriate if I wrote to Jo and asked him if he has any old autograph cards lying around? Because he looks kinda like a serial killer in his current one. Or maybe I just send something with the letter for him to sign. *must ponder*

ETA: Apparently one person who wrote to Jo also got one of the old version autograph pictures of Jo. So if you really don't like the new one, you can ask for the old one ;D

*goes off to contemplate composing a letter to z. Hd. Autorenteam (the writers)*

Thread is being locked since it will be for information purposes only for those interested as we don't want to have too many threads going on where existing ones are sufficient.

If anyone wishes to talk about the information here, please use the "General Discussion" thread.


Also, it is probably not a good idea if you receive a response back from any actor to share it on the board as the potential to stir up bad feelings in those who maybe wrote the actors and got no response or wrote them and got a "form letter" response is too great. We don't want anything that could could cause wank or slighted feelings from other board members to start up.

I hope you all understand why we're taking this position on the matter and if you have any questions about this policy, please PM one of the mods.


Thanks!
