Jasna Fritzi Bauer, Dar Salim and Luise Wolfram are the new investigator trio in Bremen’s “Tatort”. This is how you think about your first mission:
For the first time, the new “Tatort” team from Bremen will start in “Neugeboren”. Investigators Liv Moormann (Jasna Fritzi Bauer, 32), Mads Andersen (Dar Salim, 43) and Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram, 33), who has been active in Bremen since 2016, must first find themselves in it. Worlds collide. But what do the actors themselves say about their first joint “Tatort” mission?
Jasna Fritzi Bauer is Liv Moormann
The big goal of her role was to finally work on the homicide squad, explains Jasna Fritzi Bauer. “It was not an easy path: She is often underestimated and not taken seriously. Liv Moormann is young, enormously ambitious and wants to prove herself. Sometimes she is a little too committed and has to curb herself a little,” says Bauer. Her role knows social problems and is closer to people in “Newborn” than Mads and Linda are.
“At the beginning she tries to shine with the knowledge she has learned, but with the help of Mads she increasingly trusts her talent for combination and learns that it is good to work in a team with Mads and Linda”, Bauer continues. For her as an actress it is “definitely” a special challenge: “I had about one and a half years of preparation and I am looking forward to answering the question ‘When is the first crime scene with you on TV?’ can answer. ” It will be a special moment when the beloved opening credits play with the great title melody: “And then I get into the picture!”
Dar Salim is Mads Andersen
“Mads Andersen is a Dane who was stationed by the Danish secret service in Bremen due to interesting circumstances that we will only find out later,” says Salim about his new role. Actually, his time in the city is over and he wants to make his way home to Copenhagen. But after a corpse was found, it quickly became apparent that the seemingly routine case was more complicated than expected. “Mads is ready to support his boss and Liv, the new one at the police station, in the first steps of the investigation,” said Salim.
Andersen is a very experienced police officer with a past. He has already looked into every abyss that police work has to offer and will stop at nothing: Organized crime, special forces, undercover investigations – the harder the better. “He’s a real chameleon, he understands his counterpart regardless of origin or social class. He can empathize with people and merge with them very convincingly over a period of time until he has what he wants,” says Salim, describing the character of the role. The downside of such a “perfect chameleon” is: “Who are you really … and what remains of you if you don’t have a goal to pursue?”
Luise Wolfram is Linda Selb
The character Linda Selb has already appeared in five “Tatort” crime novels in Bremen and, according to Wolfram, remains a sympathetic idiosyncratic character and an absolute expert in the field of forensic technology, although her merciless directness scares her surroundings. “With her you always know where you are. In the new team, she allows herself more human facets because she first learns to appreciate Mads, but then also to Liv, and likes them both very much,” says Wolfram.
In the beginning, Linda Selb is busy with the new case investigating the disappearance of the baby in the clinic. She is solely responsible for this and only meets Mads and Liv in the course of the case. “It’s not clear at this point that they’re going to be working as a team. By working on the corpse they find, the three of them have to work together and get to know each other through it,” the actress continued. You yourself look forward to the dynamic in the team: “Jasna, Dar and I get along well.”
