Kasia Borek about her new role, Olivia Kosmar.

 

Good news for all "Jemma"- and Kasia Borek-fans: Kasia will be joining "Anna und die Liebe".You'll be able to see her there, beginning October 21st. She talked to us about her first days on the set and how she dealt with the end of "Hand aufs Herz".

 

AudL: Which character are you going to play on AudL?

KB: I am going to play the role of Olivia Kosmar, sister to Kai Kosmar- a freelance Photographer.

 

AudL: Were alreday over the ending of "Hand aufs Herz" when you got the job with AudL? 

KB: I actually accepted the cancellation of Hand aufs Herz faster,than I would have thought, but when I started to work at AudL, all the great memories of Hand aufs Herz came back to me, and it seems like I haven't really processed it really.But I'm looking forward to my new character and my new colleagues nonetheless

 

AudL: What has the work at "Hand aufs Herz" meant to you, and what kind of resumme would you draw after the long time you were on the show?

KB: At Hand aufs Herz, I played my very first soap/serial character and I met great and lovely people.We were a wunderful team for a year and have fought together-that's not something one experiences every day, and that's why I am so grateful to have been able to experience such team spirit.

 

AudL: Which kind of expectations do you hold for the new production and what do you look forward to the most?

KB: I'm still standing in the past,with one leg, I know:-) but I am ready to experience new things.When I read the character profile of Olivia Kosmar, I was taken and thused by how self confident, free, and independent she is.To be honest, I could hardly wait to be getting started :-)

 

AudL: How did the first days of shooting go?

KB: I was really insecure at the beginning, since the role I was about to play was completely different to the one I played on Hahe, but the directors and the acting coaches helped me a lot in forming Olivia, and now I'm ready for a new "risk".

 

AudL: Do you think, that the Jemma fans will remain faithful, and will be watching AudL now?

KB: I do hope,that they remain faithful, and I know, that they're already excited about how I am going to be embodying Olivia. It will be a different way of acting, but I am going to be striving for the same intensity. Look forward to it!

Biography

 

"When I read the character profile of Olivia Kosmar, I was taken and thused by how self confident, free, and independent she is.To be honest, I could hardly wait to be getting started."

 

Katarzyna Borek, called Kasia, was on camera the first time at the age of 10 and shot reportages for the children’s program „Vampy“. Since then the genre did not release her anymore and so she decided to study at the film academy Lodz in Poland – the country where her roots are. Yet Kasia is born and raised in Germany.

 

She likes to spend her free time with her friends, makes music or spend her time in the open countryside – preferably with her dog, with which she often makes extended walks. She would love to go on a round-the- world-trip or discover the wild nature of the Amazon. She loves climbing and jogging and besides keeps herself fit with swimming and ice-skating.

Q: Are you a big Christmas Fan?

A: Yes, definitely!  I love it when the whole city is decorated with lights and Christmas decorations.

Q: Where do you spend the Holidays?

A: With my family, of course.

Q: Do you buy presents for your loved ones?  Or do you avoid the Christmas frenzy?

A: A Christmas without gifts is like no Christmas for me, so each of my loved ones gets a least something small.

Q: When do you start your gift buying?

A: Every Year I try to collect gift ideas when someone casually mentions that they want this or that in a conversation but I cannot remember all of this myself, and so that’s why I get together with my sister about 4 weeks ahead of time because she always has the best ideas.

Q:  What is at the top of your wish list this year?

A: Just comfort and sharing stories while drinking warm tea with my family all around me.

Q: What would you never like to receive as a gift?

A: I do not want any giant gifts, because then I always have to find a way to carry them home.  ;-(  Anything that can fit in my suitcase is great!

Q: What are your favorite cookies, and do you like to bake?

A: I bake a lot, and my favorites are vanilla cookies.

Q: Do you decorate your home for the holidays?

A: Yes, a little.  At any rate, I have a lot of Yuletide candles all around my apartment.

A: Yes,actually I like christmas markets..  But I don’t like to go if they are overcrowded.

Q: What does your holiday menu look like?  Do you have a tradition?

A: Yes, sure.  My family celebrates with the Polish tradition.  So we have Borscht as a starter and then fish.

Q: Do you sing at home?

A: Yes, but it is only my Mother and I that like to sing in my family.  Mostly we are the ones to sing the Christmas Carols to their end. 

Q:  Do you buy a Christmas tree, and if so, who decorates it?

A: I do not buy one, but on Christmas Eve there is always one at my parent’s house that we decorate with candy canes, gingerbread cookies, and homemade garland and Christmas Balls.

Q: Do you go to Church on Christmas Eve?

A: As a child I had to go to the ceremony, but now I can choose for myself whether or not I wish to go.

Q: Where and how do you spend the New Year?

A: It varies, but always with friends.  This year I will celebrate the New Year in Warsaw.
