He played the Sergente Alvise in the television series “Donna Leon”. Now the actor Dietmar Mössmer died at the age of 69 after a long illness.
The television landscape mourns the loss of a striking character actor: Dietmar Mössmer is dead. The Austrian actor, who mainly became known for his role of the Sergente Alvise in the “Donna Leon” film films of an audience of millions, died last Friday at the age of 69 after a long illness.
The Tyrolean -born, who was born in Zams on August 10, 1955, looked back on a career lasting over four decades, in which he worked both on the theater stage and in front of the camera. His changeability as an actor made him a sought -after actor in numerous German and Austrian productions.
Career from Dietmar Mössmer started at the theater
Mössmer started his career on the theater stages. After studying acting at the Tyrolean Landestheater Innsbruck, his first engagement followed from 1980 to 1982. A milestone of his career was when the well -known actress and director Ruth Drexel brought him to the newly founded Munich Volkstheater in 1983. He remained loyal to this house until 1991.
In the summer months, Mössmer regularly returned to his Tyrolean homeland and participated in the folk spectacles Telfs. His representation of Norg in Felix Mitterer is particularly remembered.
Mössmer embodied his first cinema roll in 1984 in “Raffl” by the Tyrolean director Christian Berger. Around 40 other cinema productions with well -known directors followed. However, he achieved the breakthrough at the television audience with his role in the ARD crime series according to the “Commissario Brunetti” novels by the US-Swiss writer Donna Leon (82).
The face of the Sergente Alvise
For 19 years, from 2000 to 2019, Dietmar Mössmer embodied the somewhat awkward and at the same time lovable Sergente Alvise in the “Donna Leon” films. His figure quickly became a crowd favorite and remained much more than just a sidekick of the Commissario. The special chemistry between him and Uwe Kockisch (81), who played the Commissario Brunetti, contributed significantly to the success of the series.
In addition to his solid role in “Donna Leon”, Mössmer was seen in numerous other TV formats: from the “Soko Munich” to “the old”, “Police call 110” and “crime scene” to “The Rosenheim-Cops”, “The Bergdoktor” or “The Bull von Tölz”.
