Live and act

Little is known about Hesslein's pre-film life. He was in Hamburg-St. Pauli was the size of a neighborhood and, as Arthur Brauss stated in an interview in 2002, had contacts with the local underworld. Hesslein made contact with the world of film and television through the former Hamburg police reporter Jürgen Roland, and Roland has been using him regularly in the productions he has staged since 1964. Equipped with a concise face, Horst Hesslein from then on played mostly all kinds of batches: weird types, crooks, thugs and the like. In the last years of his life he hardly found any employment in front of the camera. Hesslein died of throat cancer .
