The actor can’t complain about a lack of engagements. But he also needs breaks to find his own peace again and again. On Sunday he can be seen in the “crime scene”.
The actor Daniel Sträßer considers professional breaks to be important. “In a world in which things are going faster and higher and further, the return to the ego, to the family, is extremely necessary in order to find one’s own concentration and calm,” said the Saarbrücken “Tatort” commissioner of the Germans press agency.
It is only from this that one can always draw the strength to tell new stories. “Otherwise you will burn up and at some point you will just flicker over the box as an empty shell,” explained the Berliner. “That’s not my claim – and that’s not what the viewers want to see.”
The 35-year-old was recently seen in the Sky drama series “Funeral for a dog”, in the movie “Alles in the best order” or as a theater actor (“MiniMe” in Berlin). Sträßer is currently shooting the fantasy thriller “The Grimm Reality” by Sven Bohse and Florian Dietrich for Netflix in Berlin.
As Commissioner Adam Schürk, Sträßer is investigating this Sunday (January 29) in the SR crime scene “Die Kalte der Erde” (ARD, 8:15 p.m.) alongside Vladimir Burlakov (aka Chief Inspector Leo Holz). A year ago, 9.15 million (27.1 percent) viewers saw the third case of the young Saarbrücken team, “The Heart of the Snake”.
