WE LOVE SOAPS TV is thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with international soap superstar Jo Weil, who plays the gay character of "Oliver" on the popular German show VERBOTENE LIEBE ("Forbidden Love"). Weil is coming to New York City and we are taking your questions for the popular actor who will be our special guest on the second episode of our new season. As we saw during our previous interview in 2010, Jo is clever, funny, and open to answering nearly anything! So use the comment section below to ask away (and PLEASE use a name for an on-air interview instead of "Anonymous.").Jo was born August 29, 1977 in Frankfurt, Germany. As soon as he realized that acting was his future, he enrolled in drama workshops and classes in order to prepare for his future in theatre and television.
Throughout 1998 through 2006, Jo studied in play workshops, Arturo Drama School and enrolled in private acting lessons for 2 years in Cologne. While maintaining his drama studies, Jo was able to hone his craft with hands on experience. Beginning in 1998, Jo was able to support himself with his dream.
Currently, Jo can be seen daily, as Oliver Sabel, in VERBOTENE LIEBE (FORBIDDEN LOVE), on German television. It is on VL, that Jo has acquired a huge fan base for his portrayal of one-half of the beloved couple, "Christian and Oliver". Jo is also a columnist for reFRESH magazine.
