Biography

Gunter Kleemann, a talented individual, garnered widespread recognition for his dual roles in the 1978 cult classic film "I Spit On Your Grave". This particular cinematic masterpiece would serve as a defining moment in his career, as he portrayed the ill-fated character of Andy, a rapist whose storyline would ultimately come to a tragic conclusion. This marked the beginning of his on-screen journey, which unfortunately, would also prove to be his last.

Before embarking on a career in the captivating realm of cinematic storytelling, Kleemann first refined his artistic prowess by serving as a trusted assistant to a renowned fashion photographer, a position he secured shortly after graduating from the prestigious New School University.

As the curtain drew to a close on his stint as an assistant, a serendipitous encounter was about to unfold, one that would alter the trajectory of his professional life in a profound and lasting manner. It was at this juncture that Meir Zarchi, a prominent figure in the film industry, stumbled upon him, and in a move that would prove to be a game-changer, chose to cast him in the iconic 1978 thriller "I Spit On Your Grave". This unexpected turn of events served as a catalyst, propelling him onto the path that would ultimately lead him to the world of cinema, where he would go on to make a name for himself as a talented and accomplished individual.

The passage of time has ushered in a new era, and Kleemann's story takes a dramatic turn as he currently resides in the vibrant and ever-pulsating city of New York, a far cry from the glitz and glamour of his former life in the spotlight. Gone are the days of Hollywood's bright lights and bustling studios, replaced by a serene and understated existence that finds him plying his trade as a concierge at the prestigious New York Palace Hotel. It is here, amidst the hotel's opulent surroundings, that he shares a life with his wife, the two of them enjoying a quiet and unassuming existence that is a far cry from the high-octane world of show business that once consumed him.
