Biography

Bruno Ganz, a celebrated Swiss thespian, initiated his illustrious theatrical odyssey in the year 1961, slowly but surely carving out a reputation for himself as a dependable and budding young talent. As his professional trajectory continued to unfold, he took a pivotal step by co-founding the esteemed Berlin-based theatre company "Schaubuehne" alongside the illustrious Peter Stein in 1970, thereby cementing his status as a prominent figure in the theatrical community.

Before achieving widespread recognition in the world of cinema, Rainer Ganz initially ventured into the film industry in the year 1960, although his early endeavors did not yield the level of success he had hoped for. It wasn't until nearly two decades later, with the release of the 1975 film "Sommergaeste", that Ganz had the opportunity to showcase his impressive acting abilities, impressing audiences with a contemplative and introspective approach that would subsequently become a defining characteristic of his work as an actor.
