Alexander Danninger

Alexander Danninger is an Austrian actor and stunt performer with a strong background in action performance, horse riding, and physically demanding roles. A former competitive athlete and accomplished Western rider, he brings extensive practical experience in horse work, stage and screen combat, tactical movement, firearms handling, motorcycle riding, car drifting, rigging, and stunt performance. His stunt experience includes high falls, full-body burns, vehicle impacts, fight choreography, glass work, and action sequences on horseback. His screen and live-performance credits include acting and stunt work for Austrian and German television productions, music videos, and large-scale theatre productions, including several seasons at the Karl May Festival Winzendorf. Before focusing increasingly on film and performance, Alexander worked for several years as a technician in special-purpose mechanical engineering, giving him a practical understanding of machinery, vehicles, and technical environments that translates naturally to action-oriented roles. At 188 cm with an athletic build and a distinctive, grounded screen presence, he is particularly suited to military, law-enforcement, special forces, western, bodyguard, antagonist, and complex action-character roles. Alexander combines the discipline of an athlete, the technical awareness of a stunt performer, and an understated acting style suited to characters who communicate as much through presence and physicality as through dialogue.
