Actor Johannes Scheidweiler (25, "Mit der Faust in die Welt schlagen") recently started supporting the investigators in Ludwigshafen's "Tatort" - and also has his own favorites in the popular TV crime series. "Unfortunately, he has now retired, but Klaus Borowski was always one of my favorite actors in Kiel," the up-and-coming actor told the German Press Agency.
In addition to his TV and film projects, the actor is also active in the theater. On Saturday evening, the premiere of the play "Hamlet" was planned at the Staatstheater Cottbus. Scheidweiler, who comes from Radebeul in Saxony, can be seen there in the title role. Director Armin Petras is setting Shakespeare's story against the backdrop of the years of German reunification.
"Normally I'm only really excited on the day of the premiere. Now I've been excited all week, but I'm really looking forward to it and think it's a great challenge. It's great fun to play this antiposition of Hamlet."
Scheidweiler wants to go freelance
The actor has been a permanent member of the Staatstheater in Cottbus since 2021 and wants to go freelance after this season. The time at the theater was great, he says.
"After four years, I think I've simply reached the point where I want to be flexible again, get to know new places, new theaters and work with new people. And that's especially possible in freelance work." The comedy "Another German Tank Story" with Scheidweiler is due to be released in cinemas on April 10.
