His other theater stations from 1985 to 1994 were the Nationaltheater Mannheim and the Schauspielhaus der Staatstheater Stuttgart. From 1994 he was a member of the ensemble of the Grillo Theater in Essen, where he appeared on stage as “Polonius” in Hamlet and as “Puntila” in Bert Brecht's Mr. Puntila and his servant Matti . In 2003 he returned to Oldenburg and the state theater there. He played his last role here as "Al Lewis" in a production by Neil Simons Sonny Boys . In addition, Boysen appeared in various programs beyond the big theater stage, such as B. as Frank Sinatra in the musical-biographical evening Ol'Blue Eyes .

On the other hand, Boysen rarely appeared in film and television, for example in Peter Patzak's Geld oder Leben , alongside Karin Baal in the thriller The Last Guest or the title role in the semi-documentary Der Götz and his Hornberg Castle about the famous robber baron and his descendants. He played several times under the direction of Gert Steinheimer : 1986 in the black comedy Zweikampf (with Joachim Wichmann as a murderous reindeer ), 1988 in the six-part Atlantis must not go under and 1997 alongside Ulrich Mühe in the comedy Dieben ist Gesunder .

Boysen also achieved a high level of awareness as a speaker of audio books. In 1992, Boysen spoke the role of the prison director in the radio play "Eigeninitiative undesirable" by Heinz-Werner Geisenberger for Hessischer Rundfunk.

Die Zeit wrote about him:

"Sometimes you can hear exceptional speakers like Gert Heidenreich or Claus Boysen reciting poems on the radio in such a way that a light is put on your own silent reading."

Boysen's work ranges from elaborate classic adaptations such as Theodor Fontane's Irrungen, Verrungen , collections of poems by Rainer Maria Rilke and Joachim Ringelnatz to medical and psychological non-fiction books ( Energon - the medical-psychological music program , I do something for me Polymedia Universal , high blood pressure successfully lower ).
