When on April 28, 1995 under the title "Tea time with a murderer?" the 246th episode of the German crime series DERRICK was broadcast on the ZDF television station, the German actor Thomas KRETSCHMANN had already begun his international acting career.
He had already fought for the German director Joseph VILSMAIER in STALINGRAD (1993) and suffered through St. Bartholomew's Night in LA REINE MARGOT (1994) for the French director Patrice CHEREAU. World successes such as THE PIANIST (2002) by Roman POLANSKI and KING KONG (2005) by Peter JACKSON were to follow.
On the German television station ZDF, the Dessau-born actor was a young lover between Ursula LINGEN (daughter of Theo LINGEN, who was once very well-known in German-speaking countries) and Christina PLATE, who became known in 1987 through the ARD series PRAXIS BÜLOWBOGEN.
On September 8, 2022, actor Thomas KRETSCHMANN, who is now established in the Hollywood film industry, celebrated his 60th birthday. Since then, he has been seen again on the big screen as the antagonist of Indiana Jones (Harrison FORD) in INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (2023).
