- - - It's not easy to sustain a movie career if you only have looks and charm, but no real talent. But such is not the case for Kostja Ullmann and Tom Schilling. Ullmann, who is one of the lead actors in the hit Summer Storm, is quite shrewd in his choices of roles. Still quite young in the industry, Kostja has proved that the raves he received for the Marco Kreuzpaintner's coming-of-age film are no fluke. One of his recent films involved a lot of risk and guts. In Punish Me, Ullmann took on the role of a young juvenile delinquent who gets involved with a mature older woman, one who is into S&M. The part required the young actor to be naked and submissive to his 49-year-old probation officer (played by the talented Maren Kroymann). Schilling, on the other hand, is not satisfied to just play in the background or to be a supporting actor to other top young talents. While he played second fiddle in a number of youth-oriented films starring Robert Stadlober, Schilling finally went on to prove that he can carry the lead in a film, and be funny as well. In the new Marc Rothemund film, Pornorama, Schilling plays the role of a young and aspiring filmmaker who is forced to do a sex movie in order to help his older brother. Although there are no scenes that require Schilling to take off his clothes, it is nonetheless a film that tackles a rather mature topic. Perhaps this is Schilling's way of getting out of teen roles and graduating into more fully-developed ones. While both actors have their own following within Germany, we just think Ullmann has a more international appeal!
