Louis Citizen is desperate. He is wrongly first accused of murdering his neighbor. The family man knows no other way to help himself than to flee the pre-trial detention and try to go into hiding with his wife and son. However, the outbreak ends in a complete disaster including hostage-taking. The actor Max Riemelt wears the "crime scene: the time has come" from the first to the last second. Thanks to his realistic game, he alone turns a strong Sunday evening thriller into something special.
But how do you know the face of the 36-year-old from Berlin, who is himself the dad of a daughter? The star of the actor, who incidentally did not attend drama school, opened early. While still at school, he played minor roles in numerous television and cinema productions. Riemelt received more attention from 2001, when he first worked on the cult film "Girls, Girls". He got his first leading role in 2004 in the drama "Napola – Elite for the Leader", with which he also enjoyed international success.
In the highly acclaimed book adaptation "Die Welle" he took on the main role of the student Marco alongside Jürgen Vogel and Frederick Lau. Riemelt can already call numerous prizes his own. For example, he was awarded both the German Television Prize and the Grimme Prize for his part in the crime novel "In the Face of Crime". Foreign productions also rely on the actor again and again. He played a major role in the Netflix sci-fi series "Sense8".
