Life
Viet studied directing at the German Film and Television Academy in Berlin . Here he got to know Detlev Buck , who was still unknown at the time and was in the same class as Viet. Buck put Viet in a supporting role shortly before graduating as a directing student in his college film Hopnick (1990). At the same time, Viet wrote the script for Hopnick. The 25-minute film was a considerable success in regional cinemas. In 1990/91 Viet shot the film Schnaps in the Kettle as a thesis, a documentary about the living conditions of farm workers in East Frisia. The film was awarded the Adolf Grimme Prize in 1992.
Hans-Erich Viet gained fame as a performer in Detlev Buck's first feature film, Karniggels (1991), in which he played the notorious boring Paulsen.
In the mid-1990s, Viet parted ways with Detlev Buck and from then on worked as a director of various television films. In addition to the feature film The Officers' Hour (2004), Hans-Erich Viet directed some episodes of the series Großstadtrevier and the series Polizeiruf 110 .
