Ivo Müller

Hi! I'm Ivo Müller, I’m an actor from Brazil, based in Los Angeles- CA.
I also work as a creative producer, writer, acting coach, and teacher.
Theater gave me the fundamentals to teach this class. Besides having group theater training and performing works by Pirandello, Strindberg, J.P. Sartre, I was part of the ensemble of an award-wining version of “Twelve Angry Men” and we performed for huge audiences in sold-out sessions in Brazil and Portugal. Another important experience is my solo performance work about poet Rainer Maria Rilke, where I experience the fears and pleasures of being alone in front of a live audience.
As a screen actor, I have about 40 credits including productions from Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, and the U.S. Some favorites include "Tabu", filmed in Africa and directed by Miguel Gomes (2 awards at the Berlin Film Festival, Best Ensemble CinEuphoria - 2012), short film: The Orphan" (Queer Palm in Cannes 2018), and recurring roles and co-stars on television shows from Sony, TV Globo, HBO Latin America, History Channel, Universal Chanel, and MTV Brazil.
Teaching is a reference I've had since childhood: my grandparents from both sides were teachers. My first job was as an English teacher and later, as my acting career took off, I started to teach actors and directors at film schools (Academia Internacional de Cinema and Inspiratorium Film School), in Brazil. In the US I worked as an assistant teacher for late actor/acting coach Clark Middleton (Twin Peaks, The Blacklist).
