Bruno Ganz
Bruno Ganz (March 22, 1941 – February 16, 2019) was a Swiss actor who debuted at the theatre in 1961 and gained there a good reputation as a solid, young actor. In 1970 he founded with ‘Peter Stein’ the theatre company “Schaubuehne” of Berlin. His debut at the movies was early and unsuccessful in 1960. Only in 1975 after “Sommergaeste (1975)” he could show his talent as a reflexive actor with tendencies towards introspection.
