With a vibrant, electric energy that resonates from her varied roles in both television and cinema, Rosalie Thomass shares her infectious passion about her latest venture: joining the extraordinary "Tatort" ensemble in Franconia. The 37-year-old powerhouse actress gushes about her new team-mates, exclaiming her pride in becoming part of this extraordinary group.
Following the footsteps of her esteemed acting colleague Dagmar Manzel, who has been a pillar of the "Tatort" unit since 2015, Thomass takes up the mantle left by her predecessor, retreating into the world of theatrical arts[3]. Manzel, a notable performer in her own right, hands over her mantle to a worthy successor who boasts an impressive range of acting skills.
Thomass made her mark with her powerful portrayal in the 2005 BR police drama "110" - "He should die" under the direction of revered filmmaker Dominik Graf. Her performance earned her numerous promotion awards[4]. Her remarkable acting in Doris Dörrie's "Greetings from Fukushima" clinched her the Bavarian Film Award, and a German Film Award nomination. Her poignant performance in Hans Steinbichler's "An Unheard Woman" earned her both the German Film Award and the Grimme Award[5]. Thomass showcased her comedic prowess in the film adaptations of the "Kangaroo Chronicles".
"Tatort" Empowering Changes
The "Tatort" Universe of ARD is currently undergoing an unprecedented transformation, as numerous esteemed detective roles, among the most coveted positions in German television, are left vacant simultaneously. In Munich, veterans Miro Nemec and Udo Wachtveitl are passing the torch to their contemporaries Carlo Ljubek and Ferdinand Hofer. In Frankfurt, Melika Foroutan and Edin Hasanovic are stepping into the limelight for their initial episodes. After the electrifying departure of Axel Milberg as Borowski in Kiel, Karoline Schuch prepares to assume the position in the fall. Viennese detective roles remain open.
Thomass' ambitious character, Criminal Chief Commissioner Emilia Rathgeber, will be determined and developed in collaboration with BR editor Claudia Luzius, aptly dubbed her "partner in crime". The anticipation of Thomass' debut will have fans waiting with bated breath, as Fabian Hinrichs takes center stage in episode eleven, "I see you". The shoot for Thomass' initial appearance is slated for the summer.
