Actor

Aliocha Schneider is a French-Canadian actor, musician, and model who, with his quiet intensity and charismatic screen presence, has become one of the most interesting voices in young European cinema. Born in Paris in 1993 and raised in Montreal, he has been in front of the camera since his youth and has established himself in both film and television. In CLOSET MONSTER (2015, directed by Stephen Dunn), Schneider gives a convincing performance in a sensitive supporting role in a coming-of-age drama that gained international recognition and won the award for Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto International Film Festival. His role demonstrates his ability to express inner conflicts and quiet emotions with precision. In POMPEI (2019, directed by Anna Falguères and John Shank), Schneider plays one of the main characters in a quiet, poetic film about friendship, love, and loss in a desolate landscape. The film was screened at several European festivals and was praised for its visually stunning production. His other credits include productions such as Félix et Meira (2014, directed by Maxime Giroux), in which he embodies the connection between cultural identity and emotional freedom, as well as Les jeunes amants (2022, directed by Carine Tardieu) and the Netflix series Amour fou (2023), in which he once again demonstrates his versatility. With his selection of challenging projects, Schneider has established himself as an actor who brings intimacy and depth to every character without limiting himself to popular formats. With his combination of natural presence, artistic ambition, and international outlook, Aliocha Schneider is considered one of the most exciting representatives of a new, cosmopolitan generation of actors.
