People: Christoph Maria Herbst: Bank clerk for the sake of the parents

The goal was to do something “reasonable”: Before his success as an actor, you could find Christoph Maria Herbst behind the bank counter.

Actor Christoph Maria Herbst (56, “Stromberg”) actually learned to be a bank clerk – because of his parents. “In fact, my apprenticeship is different from my day job. I did an apprenticeship as a bank clerk – with gentle pressure from my parents,” he told the German Press Agency. Their motto was: do something sensible.

“In retrospect, one has to say that there would have been nothing more unreasonable than staying with the bank. I don’t think in any other industry have more heads rolled in the years since then,” says Herbst. “But of course my parents argued from their own experiences.” He doesn’t regret it today either.

Herbst, born in Wuppertal, experienced his television breakthrough with the TV series “Stromberg” (ProSieben). He will soon be in the ZDF film “Anyone can teach!” (September 8), in which he plays a career changer trying his hand at teaching math.
