Germann

GREG GERMANN was exposed to the performing arts at an early age, particularly through his father, an award-winning children’s playwright and theater professor. As a theatre major at the University of Northern Colorado, a constant stream of plays led him to the gradual realization that acting would be his professional future. Buckling down at UNC, he graduated in two years and moved to New York.

Germann became a member of Circle Repertory Company and Ensemble Studio Theatre, accumulating credits in such off-Broadway and Broadway plays as Steven Sondheim musical ASASSIANS, THE PERSON I WAS opposite Holly Hunter and David Mamet’s WAR GAMES, among others. Germann also starred in Los Angeles in the hit play SPEED THE PLOW at the Geffen Playhouse alongside Alicia Silverstone and Jon Tenney.

Greg has established his acting versatility in television as well.
