Thomas Douglas is a European Film - and Theatre Actor based in Zurich and Berlin. His broad portfolio with over 80 Theater - and more than 70 film productions in different, contrasting roles, characters and projects of all genres are a testimony to his desire not to be tied down, neither to a subject nor to a certain orientation.
Internationally he also became known to a wider audience with his performance as Ralph in the Netflix miniseries The Billion Dollar Code. In 2022, Thomas took on a continuous part in the series Maxton Hall for Amazon Prime, premiereing in early summer 2024. He has a longstanding collaboration with Freddy Macdonald; Sew Torn is their 4th film together.
