Biography

Moritz Bleibtreu, a renowned German actor, was born on August 13, 1971, in the vibrant city of Munich, where he spent his early years before relocating to Hamburg to grow up. His journey in the entertainment industry began at a remarkably young age, making his debut in the popular children's television series Neues aus Uhlenbusch in 1977, when he was just six years old.

Moritz's breakthrough role came in the critically acclaimed film Knockin' on Heaven's Door in 1997, where he portrayed the character of "Abdul". This role not only marked a significant milestone in his career but also paved the way for his future success. His impressive performance in Run Lola Run in 1998 further solidified his position as a talented actor, and he went on to star in numerous films, including The Experiment in 2001 and World War Z in 2013, which earned him international recognition.

In Germany, Moritz is particularly well-known for his iconic role in the cult classic stoner-movie Lammbock, released in 2001, where he took on the leading role. His versatility as an actor has allowed him to excel in a wide range of genres and projects.

As a polyglot, Moritz is fluent in four languages: German, English, French, and Italian. His parents, Hans Brenner and Monica Bleibtreu, are both accomplished Austrian actors, and Moritz has undoubtedly inherited their passion for the craft.
