His distinctive face is known as "The Counterfeiters" and "Timm Thaler". He gained fame mainly through the cinema hit "Sommer vorm Balkon": Now Andreas Schmidt died at the age of 53 years.
He made a name for himself with difficult milieus studies. In films like Eoin Moore's "Pigs Will Fly" from 2002, he played violent characters, but also brought unexpected nuances into the characters through his fine-minded play. With his director Moore, he also directed "Conamara" (2000) or "Plus-minus zero" (1998).
Andreas Schmidt was born in Heggen in the Sauerland region in 1963 and grew up in Berlin's Märkisches Viertel. He recently lived in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Again and again the films, in which he appeared, turned around the Kiez. About Michael Klier's "Heidi M." (2001), "Im Schwitzkasten" (2005, again directed by Moore), and Andreas Dresen's success story "Sommer vorm Balkon" (2005), by which Schmidt became known to a larger audience .
His character was also seen in "crime scene" and "police" episodes. He belonged to the team of the KZ drama "Die Fälscher", which won the Oscar for the best foreign film in 2008. In April 2009 he received the German Filmpreis as the best nepidarist for his performance in "Fleisch ist mein Gemüse". Most recently, he was seen in the cinema at the beginning of 2017 in the children's film "Timm Thaler or the sold Laughter" (again under the director's direction).
Now Andreas Schmidt died at the age of 53 years after a long illness on Thursday in Berlin, as his agent on Friday communicated.(spiegel)
