Ulrich Mühe

German actor (1953–2007)

Ulrich Mühe is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Ulrich Mühe as German actor (1953–2007).

Ulrich Mühe was born at Grimma in 1953. His recorded nationality is German Democratic Republic. He trained at University of Music and Theatre Leipzig and Hans Otto Drama School of Leipzig.

This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.

Ulrich Mühe is credited as theatre director, stage actor and film actor.

His name is attached above all to playing the lead role of Dr. A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.

He was nominated for European Film Award for Best Actor.

That the work was made from German Democratic Republic shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Ulrich Mühe died in 2007, aged 54. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
