Hi everybody! I want to start a little series about German actors to let you participate in German culture (though some of them might be known overseas as well!). Today I\u00b4ll start with one of my favourite ones…<\/p>\n
German actor Moritz Bleibtreu was born in 1971 in Munich and he descends from a family of actors. He is the son of the Austrian actors Monica Bleibtreu (1944-2009) and Hans Brenner (1938-1998). He is a grandson of Renato Attilo Bleibtreu and his “great-grandaunt” was actress Hedwig Bleibtreu.<\/p>\n
Moritz Bleibtreu was raised in Hamburg. Already as a child he was standing in front of the camera. Especially in the series “Neues aus Uhlenbusch” that was written by his mother Monica Bleibtreu and Rainer Boldt. The chief character played by Hans-Peter Korff was married to Moritz\u00b4 mother by that time. His next role was in “Ich hatte einen Traum”, also written by Boldt. The next one was side by side with his mother in a mini series called “Mit meinen hei\u00dfen Tr\u00e4nen” in 1986.<\/p>\n
Moritz quit school with the “Realschulabschluss” after 11th grade. Because of his nonappereance, he didn\u00b4t get any grades.<\/p>\n
Afterwards he moved to Paris\/France where he worked as an Au-Pair and learned French. After another year in Italy he moved to New York to take some acting lessons. He continued his career at the “Schauspielhaus” in Hamburg. After this, he played some roles in small TV productions. Already in 1993 he showed big changeableness in a production called “Schulz & Schulz 5” though it was a supporting role.<\/p>\n
In the 1990s he played some bigger roles. He got more and more famous, especially through his movie roles in “Knockin\u00b4 on heaven\u00b4s door”, “Lola rennt”, “Das Experiment” and “Der Baader Meinhof Komplex”. With filmmaker Fatih Akin he made the movies “Im Juli”, “Solino”, “Soul Kitchen” and “Chiko”. Occasionally the multiple awared actor could be seen in international co-productions as well. Even in big supporting roles.<\/p>\n
He also played in films for children like the Danish one “Der Fakir” (2004).<\/p>\n
