TKKG- Das Drachenauge

TKKG- Das Drachenauge

This was the movie that started my acting career! TKKG – ¨Das Drachenauge¨ It was the reason I pursued my career as an actress. I got the role because they had already seen 5000 kids at the time and were not finding their lead. I had read in a magazine, Bravo that they were still searching and I was already attending acting school at the time. So I decided to give it a try. My grandmother took me to Munich and accompanied me to the casting process. We did screen tests over and over again with other children and to be honest I did not really think I got the job. I was back at boarding school in the UK when our hallway telephone rang, it was a complete accident that I walked past that phone at that moment. They asked for ¨Sanny van Heteren.¨ I was so confused. They told me I got the part! Honestly I thought it was my Dad pulling a joke on me. A few weeks later I was on my way to shoot my first movie. An experience that shaped the rest of my life and I am so grateful for it. I had so much fun on that set and am still friends with a lot of people I met then. It amazes me that until this day I am still receiving fan mail from people that loved me in that movie when they were kids. It is truly an honour to have been part of such an amazing project. They even sold it in the USA as ¨Four Junior Detectives¨
