Life

Werner Brix was for six years a communications engineer in the information technology industry. In 1993 in Vienna he began his acting career and "has been a fixed part of the Austrian film, theater and cabaret scene ever since." With a knack for humor, he strives to advance the values of tolerance, equality and solidarity. He appeals to a demanding audience and to the media with his motto being "humor with a brain". He is frequently invited to talk shows or to give keynote speeches in the business world.^[3] Since 2011 Brix has run his own production company, producing material for TV, commercials, and internet.^[4]
