She\u2019s now drawn to roles that truly explore<\/p>\n<p>what it means to be human \u2014 including the flaws \u2014 something she found deeply embedded in<\/p>\n<p>the concept of KRANK Berlin, the new series recently released on Apple TV. In it, she plays<\/p>\n<p>Olivia, a paramedic in her early twenties working at a hospital in Berlin-Neuk\u00f6lln, nicknamed<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKRANK\u201d \u2014 a German word that means both \u201cill\u201d and serves as shorthand for Krankenhaus<\/p>\n<p>(hospital).<\/p>\n<p>From the moment Breuer accepted the role, she knew this wouldn\u2019t be a typical German<\/p>\n<p>medical drama. During the shoot, she not only learned about emergency care and the<\/p>\n<p>healthcare system behind it, but also discovered what kind of actress she wants to become.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>FRANKA KLAPROTH: What were your first thoughts and expectations when you heard<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>about the series Krank Berlin and your role, Olivia?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>SB<\/i><\/b><i>: Krank Berlin<\/i> felt completely different right from the start. I could immediately sense that the<\/p>\n<p>right people were involved, people who genuinely cared. The characters weren\u2019t one-<\/p>\n<p>dimensional. I had a really good feeling and instantly wanted to be part of it.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>FK: How did the production ensure authenticity on set?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SB<\/b>: A lot of effort went into making everything as real as possible. Many of the extras were actual<\/p>\n<p>nurses and medical staff, so they knew exactly how things work. I also spent time at a fire station<\/p>\n<p>with a colleague. They showed us how to use the emergency vehicle equipment, how the alerts<\/p>\n<p>come in, how to handle everything properly. We had a medical advisor on set for nearly two<\/p>\n<p>months who went through every scene involving procedures with us in detail. We rehearsed the<\/p>\n<p>emergency room scenes for days, like a choreography. Everything had to be exact: where to<\/p>\n<p>walk, what to say, when to insert the tube. It was super precise.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>FK: You also study psychology. Is that a good complement to your acting?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SB<\/b> Studying psychology is kind of my balance. Acting can sometimes feel like it\u2019s all about your<\/p>\n<p>body, your looks, or whether you \u201cfit\u201d a role. Even if you\u2019re good, it often comes down to<\/p>\n<p>whether you\u2019re the \u201ctype\u201d someone imagined. At some point, I really craved something that<\/p>\n<p>wasn\u2019t about appearance, something where I could use my mind again. It\u2019s also especially<\/p>\n<p>helpful when I play characters with complex inner lives.<\/p>\n<p>For me, preparation doesn\u2019t end when the camera stops rolling. I go home and keep<\/p>\n<p>thinking about scenes, reworking things in my head. I make playlists for my characters, I<\/p>\n<p>explore emotional layers and try different colors, different energies. Creating a character<\/p>\n<p>is like building a human being from the inside out .<b><i>FK: Does acting require that emotional intensity?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SB<\/b> For me, yes. I immerse myself fully, building stories around the character with playlists and<\/p>\n<p>moodboards. Acting isn\u2019t nine-to-five \u2014 I keep processing scenes even after filming.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>FK: Are there days when emotions don\u2019t come?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SB<\/b> Definitely. Sometimes life gets in the way, but you still have to be present. Fake tears won\u2019t<\/p>\n<p>cut it; the audience must feel it. You can cry from frustration, rage, or exhaustion. Switching<\/p>\n<p>emotional states all day is exhausting \u2014 like living five lives in one.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>FK: Olivia often clashes with her colleague Olaf, a Boomer who\u2019s emotionally shut down to<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>cope with the job. How did you bring that generational tension to life with Bernhard<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Sch\u00fctz?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SB<\/b> We had a warm off-set relationship and worked closely on their dialogue. We avoided<\/p>\n<p>clich\u00e9s like \u201cGen Z on phones\u201d or \u201cbitter Boomers,\u201d showing two real people shaped by different<\/p>\n<p>experiences. Olaf tries to protect Olivia from disappointment, while she still believes\u2014maybe<\/p>\n<p>naively\u2014that change is possible.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a dynamic you see in society too: young people full of energy and conviction, and older<\/p>\n<p>generations who\u2019ve tried, failed, and urge them to be more \u201crealistic.\u201d But I think it\u2019s so important<\/p>\n<p>that this youthful drive exists. We need people who haven\u2019t been knocked down by the<\/p>\n<p>system yet. That hope is where change starts.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>SLEEK: Can you tell us a bit more about Nola, your role in Schattenseite, and how you built<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>that character compared to Olivia?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SB<\/b>: Nola deals a lot with anxiety \u2014 panic episodes and an entirely different emotional texture<\/p>\n<p>than Olivia. So I approached her from a very different angle. I made new playlists, new<\/p>\n<p>moodboards, and tried to build a completely new human from scratch. Every time I get a script, I<\/p>\n<p>start compiling references \u2014 images, sounds, colors \u2014 anything that helps me construct a<\/p>\n<p>psychological world. For me, that\u2019s the fun part. It\u2019s like becoming an emotional detective.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>FK: What&#8217;s on your acting bucket list?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>SB: <\/i><\/b>I don\u2019t have a certain dream project. What really matter to me is being given the space to<\/p>\n<p>play full, complex people. That includes showing flaws, contradictions, vulnerability. Also, I\u2019m<\/p>\n<p>particularly interested when it brings visibility to something overlooked or underrepresented.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>FK: Are there roles you avoid?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SB<\/b>: I don\u2019t want to play a flat, tokenized character that just checks a diversity box. You can tell<\/p>\n<p>when a role is written just to hit some quota, where the character barely speaks, only speaks<\/p>\n<p>broken German, and hits every lazy stereotype. It\u2019s not that I\u2019m against playing characters with<\/p>\n<p>cultural specificity. But the context matters. What\u2019s the intention behind this portrayal? We all<\/p>\n<p>have a responsibility in the stories we tell. I know it\u2019s a privilege to say no. But I see that as part of<\/p>\n<p>my responsibility, too. Sometimes I\u2019ll enter a conversation about a script, see if there\u2019s space to<\/p>\n<p>shift things, to add nuance. If not, I walk away.<\/p>\n<p><b>FK: Was saying no something you had to learn over time?SB<\/b> Definitely. But after all my experiences, I\u2019ve gained clarity about who I am and what I stand<\/p>\n<p>for\u2014even if it costs me jobs. Speaking up takes courage, and the industry doesn\u2019t make it easy.<\/p>\n<p>But we have to challenge the system; otherwise, what\u2019s the point? Maybe that\u2019s where I\u2019m a little<\/p>\n<p>like Olivia. Some tell me to stay quiet and just play along, but that\u2019s not me. Staying silent<\/p>\n<p>changes nothing. Speaking up does.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samirah Breuer: &#8220;Staying Silent Doesn&#8217;t Change Anything&#8221; 23-year-old Samirah Breuer is done playing it polite.

Is that a good complement to your acting?<\/p>\n<p>SB: Studying psychology is kind of my balance. Acting can sometimes feel like it\u2019s all about your body, your looks, or whether you \u201cfit\u201d a role. Even if you\u2019re good, it often comes down to whether you\u2019re the \u201ctype\u201d someone imagined. At some point, I really craved something that wasn\u2019t about appearance, something where I could use my mind again. It\u2019s also especially helpful when I play characters with complex inner lives. For me, preparation doesn\u2019t end when the camera stops rolling. I go home and keep thinking about scenes, reworking things in my head. I make playlists for my characters, I explore emotional layers and try different colors, different energies. Creating a character is like building a human being from the inside out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\">FK: Does acting require that emotional intensity?<\/p>\n<p>SB: For me, yes.
