Nicola Perot in Seitentriebe

A long-married couple turns to a therapist for help as they make an attempt to stimulate their love life.

Over the years, I've featured actors, movies and television shows from all over the world.  It's still rare though, to feature an actor and project that originated in Switzerland.  Maybe it's because of the population.  Switzerland's population is only slightly larger than that of New York city, and given the cash need to produce a movie or television show, it's natural fewer projects are made in smaller countries.  The Swiss film industry is also regional, and heavily reliant on public funding and cultural grants.


One project that I did recently take note of was Seitentriebe. (aka Monogamish) Seitentriebe is a Swiss drama and romance TV series that ran from 2018 to 2019 with 16 episodes over it's 2 seasons.  Swiss actor Nicola Perot was not a lead in the show, in fact he appeared in only one episode in the show's first season.  As you can see however, Perot's appearance was a memorable one.


Despite working professionally since his late teens, there's not a lot of info about Perot out there. Although his resume is impressive, he avoids the on-line limelight and has mostly stayed off of social media.  There are a few interviews out there that I found, mostly with Perot discussing his love of being an 'international' actor.  Perot works throughout Europe and is fascinated by taking on characters who speak different languages, and the connection between personality with language and location.  Even though most won't understand the dialogue in the clip, I'm guessing you'll still enjoy the visuals.
