He is certainly the most dazzling star in this year’s jungle camp: Martin Semmelrogge celebrated great success as an actor and worked in Hollywood – but also experienced deep falls.
The new season of the RTL format “I’m a star – get me out of here!” starts on January 13th. After two years of Corona, the show is taking place again in Australia. That’s where RTL brought the twelve more or less prominent participants. Of the star introduces them in turn. Today: Martin Semmelrogge.
PROFILE – Martin Semmelrogge, actor
Birth date: December 8, 1955
Place of birth: Boll-Eckwalden
Residence: Palma de Mallorca
Marital status: single, two sons
Known by: “The boat”
Who is Martin Semmelrogge?
His career path was already mapped out from birth: Martin Semmelrogge is the older son of the actor and director Willy Semmelrogge, who became known in the 70s as an assistant in “Tatort” alongside Hansjörg Felmy. Martin’s career also began at the same time, initially mainly in TV thrillers. In 1981, the role followed, for which he is known to this day: Semmelrogge became internationally known as the second watch officer in Wolfgang Petersen’s series “Das Boot”. The hoped-for career did not materialize after that, instead the actor repeatedly clashed with the judiciary. He was sentenced to multiple fines and imprisonment for, among other things, traffic offences, shoplifting and drug possession.
The biggest success
In 1993 the great Steven Spielberg hired him for his film “Schindler’s List”. The role of SS officer Willi Riesenhuber may have been small, but starring in this all-star cast featuring Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes is undoubtedly one of the highlights of his career.
Why does he go to the jungle camp?
In 2014, Semmelrogge was broke: he had to undergo insolvency proceedings. The actor has shot a lot since then, but the money from the peak of his career is gone. The lavish fee for the RTL show is not inconvenient.
