Luis Vorbach was born in 2005 in the Allgäu. He made his acting debut with a minor supporting role in the TV film "Die Gruberin" (2013), followed by an appearance in an episode of the series "Weißblaue Geschichten" (2014). Director Carlo Rola cast him in the family epic "Die Himmelsleiter - Sehnsucht nach morgen" (2015, TV) in a leading role as grandson of Christiane Paul's main character.
Luis Vorbach played his first leading role on the big screen in the tragicomic children's film "Auf Augenhöhe" ("At Eye Level", 2016). In the film he plays a ten-year-old who lives in a home after the death of his mother and finds out that his father, who was unknown to him, is growth-restricted. The film won numerous awards, including the German Film Prize and the German Film Critics' Prize, both for Best Children's Film. Vorbach himself was awarded Best Child Actor for his performance at the Children's Film Festival in Seattle (USA); at the Kinderfilmtage Ruhr in Essen he won the film prize 'Emo' as Best Child Actor.
In 2018 he starred in a supporting role in the multi-award-winning adaptation of Otfried Preußler's children's book classic "Die kleine Hexe" ("The Little Witch"), as an acquaintance of the little witch. He also played a leading role alongside Jona Gaensslen in the family film "Unheimlich perfekte Freunde" ("Double Trouble and the Magical Mirror", 2019, directed by Marcus H. Rosenmüller), about two boys who lack ambition and suddenly find themselves confronted with their highly gifted doppelgangers.
Luis Vorbach still goes to school and is active not only as an actor but also as a competitive swimmer.
