Actor Joachim Król likes to use the train, but doesn’t want to miss driving. Why?
Actor Joachim Król says that long-distance train journeys are generally good, but he can get a lot out of the car. “With a car you can throw everything in and think about what you need later,” said the 66-year-old to the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung”. With the train, however, you have to prepare, also because it is no longer as reliable.
When it comes to long-distance train journeys, however, he sees a clear discrepancy between theory and reality. “The idea of a train journey is of course a good one: you get on in Cologne, pack your laptop, go eat something delicious in the dining car and get off on time in Berlin,” says Król. “In reality, unfortunately, you don’t have internet, you arrive late, and the only warm drink in the dining car is beer.”
According to his own admission, he uses the 49 euro ticket intended for local transport. Since the ticket was available, he has been taking the bus. “Even if I probably won’t use the ticket.”
Król, who was born in the Ruhr area town of Herne, played supporting roles in film successes such as “The Moving Man” and “Lola Run” in the 1990s; he later became known to a wider audience as a Frankfurt “crime scene” investigator.
“791 km” hits theaters this Thursday. In it he can be seen alongside Iris Berben. It’s about four travelers who actually wanted to take the train from Hamburg to Munich, but ended up in a taxi because of a storm. Król plays the initially taciturn taxi driver who has to come to terms with the tour group.
