Live and act

At the beginning of the 1960s, Cramer received his artistic training in Düsseldorf and started his first engagement at the same location. He then went to Berlin , where he was partly permanent and partly freely engaged in various, mostly small stages (Forum Theater, Berliner Kammerspiele / Theater der Jugend). Later Cramer worked mainly as a freelance. In the 80s he was also seen on West German boulevard stages like Die Komödie in Frankfurt am Main . At that time he mainly gave guest performances and was active in the radio.

Since 1964 Cramer took part in a number of television productions. Cramer often embodied revolutionary and stormy men of the type 'rebel without a cause' (as in the story of a criminal youth gang Rocky's knife , his movie debut), but also friendly, cheerful sun boy types. Cramer was seen less often as an opaque, vicious and devious character, occasionally as a suspect in crime series like Das Kriminalmuseum and Tatort . In addition to ambitious television games with a contemporary twist such as Alma Mater , Berliner Blockade , On behalf of the black front and Al Capone in the German forest , where he could be seen alongside Rainer Werner Fassbinder , Cramer also appeared in less significant productions such as the remake of the Feuerzangenbowle and the soft sex flick Kreuzberger Liebesnächte , two of his few movies.

In Volker Schlöndorff's socially critical robber ballad The Sudden Wealth of the Poor People in Kombach , he received a rare leading role with Jacob Geiz. After that, he was only seen at irregular intervals on the screen and on TV.
