Wolfgang Bahro Ponders the Success of Medical Dramas - Wolfgang Bahro swaps soap operas for a gritty Potsdam crime thriller
Actor Wolfgang Bahro, known for his long-running role in Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten, has ventured into a new genre with a crime thriller. In Haveltod – A Potsdam Crime Thriller, he plays a case analyst investigating a murder, alongside Katharina Stark who also takes on an investigative role.
Bahro has portrayed lawyer Jo Gerner in the RTL soap opera Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten since 1992. His experience in television spans decades, yet he remains captivated by audience preferences. He admits to finding crime shows particularly engaging, noting that viewers enjoy actively piecing together clues.
The appeal of medical dramas, however, puzzles him. Jokingly, he suggests Germans might be drawn to them out of hypochondria or a thirst for health knowledge. His latest project, Haveltod, shifts focus from courtrooms to crime scenes, offering a fresh dynamic. In the thriller, Bahro's character works alongside Katharina Stark, who also takes on the role of a case analyst. Together, they tackle a complex murder investigation set in Potsdam.
The film marks a departure from Bahro's usual soap opera setting, placing him in a gritty crime narrative. With Stark sharing the investigative spotlight, Haveltod presents a new side of the veteran actor. The thriller is now available for viewers to explore.
