Cristina do Rego

Actor

Schauspiel
For the big roles, I start preparing as early as possible. I create playlists with music, choose a perfume for the role and think about make-up and costume. The other part of the work might be less exciting and takes place at my desk; arranging scenes, marking text, learning by heart. Everything else happens on set.
