Seems to embody german history with the roles he plays hes played some of this countrys worst villains and its greatest heroes hes no Big International star but remains dedicated to exploring the darkest corners of germanys past. Because. The city is good nothing. To. Be rosa mention up. As under shes just come to the country and is just up there when its an evidence in my decision im not going to change forced. To touch her so were going to talk like. This man to talk to if he doesnt doesnt instead of the testimony i would have to miss macdonald the top leader difficult to. As a tense india it is immediate of us not fallen. So far. Is that. The Mission Business you are now started because it will dissuade you from them integration as the fire does not need to be permissible to again. Combat. Im a sign off on the men and. Cancer trying to remedy. The initial question did interest projects from the lastest up some through. The sting of the specifics of our children conflicts nonbusy up with the times. So much time off the tapped. From a few this was ignored or you could be treated many times as you get anything good to them didnt you think you. Can update. And were joined now by sebastian call hi welcome to kino we just had a brief overview of your career and whats amazing is how many historical dramas youve done and youve played almost every figure from german history i mean nazis terrorists political dissidents. Whats the hardest thing about entering the past that way particularly when you have to recreate a real character from history that is its a gift as an active duty to do such different parts of history. Because its like a history book and you have to have patients who are inside it is a pleasure its a gift to feel history very vivid a natural. Yeah and i love doing this although im not searching for these parts is just theyre the best the best scripts yet in new film fog in august again its a story called drama its set in the nineteen forty three early one thousand forties and is both the Euthanasia Program of the nazis and stupid where they started to quietly kill off anyone they thought didnt belong in their society mentally ill or the sick anyone who didnt belong to their concept of the area and race you play a doctor in the movie describing who is this guy. He is rather like spear a believer he believes in doing good things as of the Nineteenth Century it was a big issue or you know for the whole society so it was absolutely common to discuss that and how do we have make the human being better. That was a common thing to talk about it that just took that from there and made his own thing out of it very strict so it was murdering people. That. Just physically. Used to play these shy and not. Seem nice juicy yeah i want to answer link to it. Didnt get filled intelligency is the name suzy. Ya didnt give music to shannon mistress you can call for you to have it. Done this is what it is you get i might take at least five introduced couldnt believe it either that puts you in there to just make it spike come on. Give it a look for valsin. If you lost interest in the kitchen must be nice to exponents yeah sure so what about in a bit lately but in. This heist. And yes how do you play a character like that and not make him into sort of a. Two dimensional nazi pulling that its actually quite easy because if he doesnt think hes a monster no who does. Everybody thinks im a good man if he looks in the mode in the mornings while im doing well im doing good so he is hes quite convinced in what hes doing and for me as an actor is to find the law the space in a space of thoughts and logical consequences and that the better i do that im prepared that the easier i can move in this strange reality is strange for us not for him. This man see. Him doing. And what i think is the relevance of the film and its themes for for today because that happened long time ago it was back in the fortys. I mean this this idea of this race hygiene its always an issue here and today if you see the prenatal gnostic you can see that its so its so close to perfection you can foresee everything we are moving in a dangerous direction to to. To direct everything and to decide everything which we cant you know we have you have to think about and we have to see if its possible or not and then take a decision. This is one of the things why did the film because because its so you know all these downside of children for example the. They killed them in the nazi time but now they dont even. Live because its. Nobody gives birth to them anymore you know so. We had thing in that the very important thing to think about it because its its life you know and you should deal every careful to decide who decides. This is live. On not nobody can do that. We cant let you go without talking about your Big International breakthrough film which was the lives of others in two thousand and six the character you play is a playwright in east germany whos been put under twenty four hour surveillance by the Eastern Police the stasi. The biggest of these nine power. Looking back to that time two thousand and six who won the oscar became a Huge International success. What do you remember about tommy mean what effect it had happened on you personally maybe even on i know german cinema in general but i remember the oscar. I think it was Foreign Language sixtieth birthday and they made a trailer. Like eight minutes by the european cinema all the oscar minus like sending me to seek to for this year and all of it and so on. And after that. And the oscar goes to the lives of others to germany. Never forget that it was like in the i was like in a bubble and ill be personal all of a sudden i was filmed us in this wonderful row of. So important films that made me being an actor made create i was educated with them in a way and so it was it was. Wonderful moment and i mean it really opened up doors for you to write it because after that you put in a lot of Big International films in black book and recently. In bridge of spies the Steven Spielberg film what is it like you feel as an actor to what do you get out of playing smaller roles in these big Big Productions compared to sort of the lead roles that you used to in germany every actor will say no small roles and thats true enough for me its important if the film has to exist you know and britta spite of the spice for example the script by the coen brothers and the cost tom hanks and spielberg this this was a match oh yes you do not know who you are dealing with. The interest of the democratic republic. To deal with and to be seen to be dealing with another sovereign power the United States is one of the few directors who is able to to create a very private. Creative atmosphere on the set and outside is all of it when you can transcend that with the likes of spielberg or in some big serious like homeland and so Forth International series what keeps you coming back to germany why do you keep coming back to germany into german films german actually i love the language and the german language is very special because its so precise and you can express every word for everything theres so many wonderful words other languages dont have that and of course in this day. And describe it in different ways and the terms are able to say its very precise that makes them very german as well so its always a danger in that but. And the other hand its very. Its impressive to have such a rich language and i would love to work in that language speaking for one your fans love to see you in it thank you so much. For being time with us that you know.
