Biography

Next Person Biography:

Born in Munich, Germany in 1969, Gedeon was raised in a bilingual environment, speaking both English and German fluently. At the tender age of 8, he was sent to boarding school in England, where he spent four years before transferring to an American high school at 12.

Before turning 11, Gedeon had already made his acting debut in the movie "Aunt Maria" and followed it up with a lead role in the American-German co-production "Blood and Honor" (a three-part mini-series) as Hartmut Keller. Due to his bilingual upbringing, Gedeon was the only actor who didn't require dubbing in either the English or German versions.

Throughout his school vacations, Gedeon continued to work on various projects until he dropped out of high school after the 11th grade. He then focused on training for two years, attending musical school and taking speech and acting classes on the side.

In 1988, Gedeon starred alongside Tony Curtis and Birol Ünel in the motion picture "Welcome to Germany," marking the beginning of his career as a grown-up. Since then, he has acted in numerous films, including "Acting it Out" (German Film Award/Movie and Bavarian Film Award/Actor) by acclaimed German director Andreas Dresen, "Silence like Glass" by Carl Schenkel, and "Making Up" (Student Academy Award USA/German Film Award) by Katja von Garnier.

Gedeon has also appeared in several successful television series, such as "Detectiv Rex" (sold to over 140 territories) and "Kobra 11" (Action series, sold to over 120 territories).

In 2006, Gedeon portrayed Henry Neumann, a Jewish boxer trapped in a boxcar with his family on the way to Auschwitz, in the motion picture "The Last Train." This challenging role seemed to prepare him for the biggest opportunity of his career to date: the part of the Jewish Basterd (Will Wicky) in Quentin Tarantino's new movie "Inglourious Basterds."
