In the end, Anton Leu is transferred to “Tatort: Marlon”. The social worker is played by Ludwig Trepte. How do you know the actor?
At the end of the latest Odenthal thriller it is clear: the social worker Anton Leu is the culprit. He pushed the 9-year-old student Marlon Janson (Lucas Herzog) down the stairs in the school building, killing his charge. Even before that he hadn’t been able to control himself in a short scene and was already violent. And yet you have pity for Leu, who previously worked selflessly for his students and tried to make the world a little bit better with his possibilities.
The desperate person Leu is played by the Berlin actor Ludwig Trepte (33), whom attentive viewers already knew from numerous other well-known TV and cinema productions. Trepte gives his character a special depth and embodies the inner conflict realistically and with a lot of empathy. This makes the 33-year-old the secret star of the film. Those were the milestones so far in his already rich career.

Ludwig Trepte is the son of the well-known Ostrock singer Stephan Trepte (1950-2020) and appeared as a 12-year-old boy in the “Polizeiruf 110” episode “Bei Ringelzeichen Mord” and the “Tatort” edition “Bienzle und the secret witness”. The father of two had his first leading role in the cinema in 2005 in “Kombat Sixteen” alongside Matthias Schweighöfer (41).
