🎬✨ From Hollywood to Brynmawr! Meet Hans Obma, the talented actor from Wisconsin who’s making waves on the Welsh TV scene. During the pandemic, Hans took on the challenge of learning Welsh and completely fell in love with the language. Fast forward three years and he’s now landed a role on Pobol y Cwm, Wales’ beloved soap opera!
While stuck at home during lockdown, Hans not only picked up a new language, but he’s been passionately promoting it too, sharing his journey and creating bilingual content on social media. 🇺🇸➡️🏴
His Welsh roots run deep – with his grandmother hailing from Brynmawr – and he was even inspired to write a series where the main character speaks Welsh. Now, Hans is thrilled to join Pobol y Cwm, playing a character who’s also a Welsh learner from America.
Best known for his villainous roles in popular series like The Vampire Diaries, Better Call Saul, and Marvel’s Wandavision, Hans is adding to his impressive CV with this new adventure.
Welsh speakers are buzzing on social media, celebrating Hans as an inspiration. Comments like “Your Welsh is amazing” and “Congratulations Hans, from learning online in Wisconsin to Pobol y Cwm” show the excitement surrounding his journey.
