In the Viennese “Tatort: Conspiracy” two dogs help solve the crimes. Does Harald Krassnitzer like dogs in his private life?
In the course of the Vienna crime thriller “Tatort: Conspiracy” (May 9th, the first), two dogs help the investigators to solve the case. First, Commissioner Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer, 60) borrows a white poodle from the new assistant Meret Schande (Christina Scherrer). He visits the vet with the dog to pursue a hot lead. Later another dog finds an important piece of evidence … But what about the Austrian actor’s love for dogs in private?
Harald Krassnitzer once had a dog
“I get on well with these four-legged friends and I am happy when I see someone on the street with an extraordinary dog. Then I talk to them”, says Krassnitzer. And that’s not all, he even had a dog himself. “I once had an English setter whom I loved very much,” recalls the actor. But to Krassnitzer’s regret, his dog owner career did not last too long:
“How it is at a young age, you are not always aware of the responsibility that you have with it. So I had no one to take care of him when I had theater rehearsals, and he always cried terribly”, says Krassnitzer from a problem that might sound familiar to some. The actor came up with a somewhat sad but sensible solution: “I finally said to myself that it couldn’t be done and gave it to myself with a heavy heart. To someone who lives in the country and looked after him extremely lovingly,” he recalls in the interview.
