Joachim Król, hailing from Herne in North Rhine-Westphalia's Ruhr region, leans towards the ease and flexibility of automotive travel while maintaining a fondness for the leisurely pace of long-distance train journeys. As revealed in an interview with the Osnabrücker Zeitung, the 66-year-old actor summarizes his preference by stating, "With a car, you can throw everything in and think about what you need later."
In contrast, the train travel experience can be plagued by unpredictability, as Joachim highlights with disappointments such as limited internet connection and delayed service, leaving him frustrated with the only available hot drink being beer. This discrepancy between the appealing concept and its reality has not deterred Joachim from taking advantage of the 49-euro ticket, which he's been utilizing for local transportation since its introduction.
When it comes to on-screen appearances, Joachim Król is known for his supporting roles in popular 90s titles like "Der bewegte Mann" and "Lola rennt". More recently, he gained wider recognition as a Frankfurt "Tatort" investigator, showcasing his acting talents for a broader audience. In the short film "791 km", released this week, Joachim plays a minimalist cab driver who must adapt to a group of travelers stranded by a storm, far from their intended train destination in Munich.
While the article doesn't delve into any additional details about Joachim Kröl's preferences, one can surmise that this seasoned thespian continues to exhibit an adaptable spirit, whether navigating the complexities of in-car travel or transitioning into his latest role as a taciturn cab driver.
