Pitch Perfect 2 Das Sound Machine Cast
The Hilarious Harmony of Das Sound Machine
Pitch Perfect 2 gave us a lot of laughs, but let's be honest, the real stars (besides the Bellas, of course!) were the wonderfully weird and intimidating Das Sound Machine. But who were these actors behind the perfectly synchronized German menace? Get ready for some surprises!
You might think they were flown in straight from Berlin, sporting lederhosen and a love for techno. The truth is much more… Hollywood!
The Masterminds: Pieter Kramer and Birgitte Hjort Sørensen
Leading the charge as the intense and deadpan Pieter Kramer was Flula Borg. He's not just an actor, but also a DJ, musician, and comedian in real life! Flula's actually German, which added a layer of authenticity (and hilarity) to his performance.
Think about it: that awkward flirting with Gail Abernathy-McKadden was all Flula's comedic genius shining through.
Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, the icy-cool Anna, may look familiar to you. That's because she's a Danish actress with a string of impressive credits! You might recognize her from *Game of Thrones* or *Borgen*. Talk about a diverse resume!
Beyond the Dynamic Duo
DSM wasn’t just about Pieter and Anna, though. The rest of the group, while often silent and stoic, brought a vital element to their stage presence.
They were the perfect foil to the Bella's goofy charm, a serious and structured contrast that amplified the humor.
Finding out the background of these performers reveals a fascinating blend of talents. Many were dancers, musicians, and even members of other a cappella groups. The attention to detail was immense!
The Secret Weapon: A Cappella Expertise
While Flula and Birgitte brought the acting chops, the vocal power of Das Sound Machine came from seasoned a cappella performers. This ensured their on-stage numbers were not just visually stunning but also musically perfect.
Think about their rendition of "99 Luftballons." Spine-tingling and strangely beautiful, right?
The blend of experienced actors and a cappella pros created a magical and memorable on-screen presence. It's what made them such a formidable opponent for the Bellas!
The Legacy of DSM
Das Sound Machine may have been the "villains" (if you can call them that) of *Pitch Perfect 2*, but they quickly became fan favorites. Their over-the-top performances, deadpan humor, and incredible vocals made them unforgettable.
They proved that a little bit of German intensity (with a dash of Hollywood magic) can go a long way.
So, next time you're watching *Pitch Perfect 2*, remember the talented individuals behind Das Sound Machine. They brought the thunder… and the techno.
Who knows, maybe they'll reunite for a special a cappella performance someday. We can only dream!
