Jasna Fritzi Bauer and Luise Wolfram investigate in “Tatort: Liebeswut” without Dar Salim. Why wasn’t he there? Will Mads Andersen return?
The new “Tatort” team from Bremen has been in action since May 2021. But the third film since the restart is missing the male part alongside Liv Moormann (Jasna Fritzi Bauer, 33) and Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram, 34): The Danish actor Dar Salim (44), who has played the investigator Mads twice so far Andersen mimed was not to be seen in “Love Rage”. In the film, his abstinence is explained with a short subordinate clause: The policeman has to clarify a case in his home country of Denmark. Why wasn’t Salim there? And will he be back soon?
According to the portal “Buten un Binnen” of the responsible state broadcaster Radio Bremen, Salim will be part of the party again. Officials say he can’t be in every film because he’s involved in “many international projects.” In a report on the start of shooting of the film, initially titled “End of Confidence”, in October 2021 the site already reported that these absences were planned for when the cast was made. Some stories – including the latest episode – would be “stronger with fewer investigators”.
Dar Salim is critical of the “crime scene” in an interview
But Dar Salim does not seem to have been 100 percent satisfied with his first “crime scene” missions. In an interview with the news agency spot on news in December 2021, the actor said that there was still a lot of room for development in Bremen. Then Salim became clear: “As far as ‘Tatort’ is concerned, it needs more long-term planning on the part of the production, in terms of the development of the stories and my character, in order to continue to be there.”
Nevertheless, he is proud to be a Bremen “crime scene” commissioner: “No matter how long or short the trip will be.” It is therefore clear: Mads Andersen will continue to support the investigators Moormann and Selb. Whether it will be a commitment for a very long time is still a little in the stars.
