Jochen Sehrndt (born March 28, 1925 as Hans-Joachim Sehrndt in Berlin ) was a German actor , radio play and voice actor .

Life

Sehrndt received his artistic training from Hilde Körber and began his career in the late 1940s on the stage in Luckenwalde . Initially he worked in the ensemble of tiny Berlin guest theater stages such as the ORSON Association of Young Actors. He appeared in GDR theaters until the late 1950s, only then did he settle in West Berlin and initially worked at less important venues such as the Rehberge open-air theater (1959/60). In 1959 he played under the direction of Leonard Steckel in a production of Max Frisch's "Biedermann und die Brandstifter" in the Theater am Kurfürstendamm , three years later in a performance of Ariano Suassuna's comedy The Testament of the Dog at the Schaubühne on Halleschen Ufer . The Hamburg Ernst-Deutsch-Theater was one of his other stages .

Hamburg has been the focus of Sehrndt's artistic work since the 1960s. He played in various film and television productions for NDR and Studio Hamburg such as Jürgen Roland's Die Engel von St. Pauli , Harald Vock's crime film Ein Sarg für Mr. Holloway and episodes of television series such as Percy Stuart , Hamburg Transit , Hafenpolizei and Polizeifunk ruft . Sehrndt's cinema films include the DEFA production Treffpunkt Aimée , the Jerry Cotton thriller The Bill - Served Ice Cold , the German-German film adaptation The Heiden von Kummerow and their funny pranks based on Ehm Welk, and Reinhard Hauff's drama Die Verrohung des Franz Blum based on Burkhard Driest . Sehrndt had his last appearance in front of the camera in 1983 as a National Socialist in Egon Monk's television series Die Geschwister Oppermann after Lion Feuchtwanger .

However, Sehrndt is known to a wide audience primarily for his voice. He was involved in numerous radio play productions for the label " EUROPA " such as Die DreiTOffer , Regina Regenbogen , Asterix and Hallo Tom, here Locke . For the series Masters of the Universe he took on the double role of the cowardly cat “Cringer” and his battle-tested alter ego “Battle Cat”. In addition, as a voice actor he lent dolls such as the “Lulatsch” of Sesame Street and animated characters such as the lead wolf “Akeela” in the Japanese cartoon series The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling as well as real actors such as Sam Jaffe in Columbo: Deadly Comeback , Henny Youngman in Amazons on the moon and Aldo Sambrell in Face to Face . For the German version of the cartoon He-Man - The Secret of the Magic Sword from 1985, he took on the role of "Battle Cat" again, originally voiced by Alan Oppenheimer .
