Hi there! The next German actor that I want to introduce to you is called Daniel C\u00e9sar Mart\u00edn Br\u00fchl Gonz\u00e1lez Domingo, better known as Daniel Br\u00fchl.<\/p>\n
Understandably you might wonder about the name…well, Daniel is the son of the German TV director Hanno Br\u00fchl and a Spanish teacher. He was born in 1978 in Barcelona\/Spain. That might explain his Spanish-German name. By the way, he still partly lives in Barcelona. But mainly in Berlin. One of his brothers still lives in Spain. Beside German, he fluently speaks Spanish and Catalan.<\/p>\n
Daniel Br\u00fchl was raised in Cologne where he attended a “Gymnasium”. Already as a child he showed his talent to experiment in a playful way. At the age of eight he won a reading contest by what he joined the WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk). The WDR is a big sound broadcasting service in Germany. His work as a dubbing actor and participation in various radio plays were followed by first jobs for Television.<\/p>\n
In 1994 he called attention with the TV production “Svens Geheimnis”. He also played in the daily soap “Verbotene Liebe” for a while. So already before he got his “Abitur”, he decided to become an actor. That\u00b4s why he starred in a movie called “Schlaraffenland” in 1999 and so this was the first time that Daniel could be seen on the big screen.<\/p>\n
He rejected the military service and did the civilian national service instead.<\/p>\n
During the shooting of “Nichts bereuen” in 2001 he got to know actress Jessica Schwarz. She was his girlfriend until 2006.<\/p>\n
It was the movie Good Bye, Lenin! that made him famous to an international audience. About 6 million people watched the movie and Daniel Br\u00fchl has been awarded numerously for it.<\/p>\n
Daniel Br\u00fchl\u00b4s roles are characterized by naive simplicity though there\u00b4s always a heavy presence at the same time. But he also showed other sides in movies like “Merry Christmas” (2005). In 2006 he starred in the Spanish movie “Salvador” that became a big popular success in 2007.<\/p>\n
Some of you might know him through his role as the German war hero Fredrick Zoller in Quentin Tarantino\u00b4s\u00a0 “Inglorious Basterds”. Here\u00b4s an ironic and sarcastic “behind-the scenes”.<\/p>\n
