## Biography

Schropp was born in 1978 as the child of a teacher and a medical assistant in the former municipality of Gießen in the city of Lahn. After his high school year in Visalia, California, where Schropp gained his first acting experience, he played at the American theater in Giessen. In addition, he also worked as a small actor, extras and in advertising and began training as a vocalist and speaker at the Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt. After graduating from high school at the Weidigschule in Butzbach, Schropp did his community service in a dialysis center in Giessen. After a musical workshop in Hamburg, he studied at Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) in the United Kingdom for two and a half years. However, Schropp ended the training prematurely. In 2000, he reported on the Love Parade for RTL Zwei.
He received his first major role in the ARD evening series Sternenfänger, in which he played together with Nora Tschirner, Oliver Pocher and Florentine Lahme. Since then he has participated in script readings, works as a speaker and presenter, for example at the Max-Ophuls-Preis film festival in Saarbrücken or as a presenter for the presentation of the short film bear at the Berlinale. In March 2005 he played a role in the comedy Popp Dich slim!, for which he had to gain twelve kilograms of body mass. At the end of 2006 he had a role in the ARD series Zwei Engel für Amor, which in the following year for the Adolf Grimme Prize was nominated. Since 2007, he has also played leading roles in various ZDF television films and embodied the forensic specialist in Polizeiruf 110 in Halle in eight episodes.
In addition to acting, he moderated for Berlin lifestyle web TV Luxity.TV and devoted himself more and more to moderation. From 2010 to 2012 he moderated the German version of X Factor for VOX. In 2014 he switched to ProSiebenSat.1 Media. There he replaced Oliver Pocher and Cindy aus Marzahn as the new host of the Promi Big Brother. On Sat.1 he also moderated the improcomedy show Jetzt wird’s schräg, as well as the game show Himmel oder Hölle on ProSieben. In 2020 he moderated the thirteenth season of the German show Big Brother on Sat.1.

## Personal life and social engagement

He has lived in Berlin since 2001 and has been in a relationship with his partner since spring 2018. Since 2009 he has been supporting the SOS Children's Villages.
