Diverse productions for television, cinema and commercials followed, where he worked as an actor amongst others with Sönke Wortmann, Margarethe von Trotta, Katja Riemann, Jürgen Vogel, Axel Stein, Milan Peschel and Dietmar Bär. Jan-David finished his school together with an education as ‘Gestaltungstechnischer Assistent’ (assistant for graphic design) in 2013.
