Upcoming German actress on her rise to world fame


By now everyone of my friends knows that I'm totally crazy about upcoming German actress Christina do Rego (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1299058/), who stars in the German comedy series "Pastewka"(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479842/). This series is a German version of "Curb Your Enthusiasm", and the character of Larry David is played here by the well-known comedian Bastian Pastewka. For German standards it's a really funny series (and got just last week an important television award), and Christina plays the daughter of Pastewka's brother. Pastewka is a funny guy who makes lots of jokes, and she is written in the series as some sort of counterpart as she has this "Ha, ha. Very funny. Don't get on my nerves with your stupid jokes" attitude all the time.

And here's a little bit of trivia which couldn't be less interesting (at least for everyone else except me): Christina played a similiar character a year before in one episode of the other great Germany comedy series nowadays, "Stromberg" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428167/, being the German version of "The Office" - you see, we can't think of anything good ourselves, but when we copy something, we copy it fine. I'm wondering right now whether there are also Chinese versions of these series). I think Christina got the part in "Pastewka" because she played it so well in "Stromberg".

So remember, when you see her starring in "Terminator 4" and "Indy 4", I was the one who made her world-famous !
