Live and act
The son of a saleswoman and a bus driver did not want to take up a civil profession, but rather to the theater, for which the parents showed understanding. However, he failed the entrance exam for the Max Reinhardt Seminar . He was not deterred by this, however, and began playing at the Serapionstheater Vienna in 1982 . In 1987 he moved to the Vienna Ensemble .
Markovics took over the first film role in 1991 in the movie Dog and Cat by Michael Sturminger . In 1993 he played the Kirchinger landlord in Paul Harathers tragicomic road movie India . He became known to a wider audience as District Inspector Stockinger , first in the Austrian crime series Kommissar Rex , then in the spin-off series Stockinger . Other film roles followed, including in Hinterholz 8 , Late Show and - as the main actor alongside Julia Stemberger - in Born in Absurdistan and in Come, Sweet Death .
In the years that followed, Markovics played in numerous TV and theater productions, including at the Theater in der Josefstadt and at the Vienna Volkstheater , where he himself staged a play for the first time in 2005 with Eugène Ionesco's Die kahle Sängerin . In 2008 he was seen in the two-part television production Die Gustloff , directed by Joseph Vilsmaier, alongside Michael Mendl , Heiner Lauterbach , Francis Fulton-Smith and Dana Vávrová in the lead role of submarine corvette captain Petri.
The leading role of Salomon Sorowitsch in Stefan Ruzowitzky's film Die Fälscher , which was named Best Foreign Language Film at the 80th Academy Awards , remains Markovics' greatest international success to this day.
In 2009 Markovics co-founded the Academy of Austrian Films together with other Austrian filmmakers .
In 2011 he made his debut as a director and screenwriter with the feature film Atmen . The production with Thomas Schubert in the lead role was invited to the Quinzaine des réalisateurs series at the 64th Cannes Film Festival , where it was awarded the Prix Europa Cinemas Label and in 2012 the Austrian Film Prize in six categories .
In 2011 he also played in the film Süskind by the Dutch director Rudolf van den Berg . In it he played Ferdinand from the Fünten , who as SS-Hauptsturmführer was responsible for the central office for Jewish emigration in Amsterdam during the Second World War .
Markovics plays the leading role, Baarova's lover Joseph Goebbels, in the film The Devil's Beloved by the Czech director Filip Renč, about the life of the controversial Czech actress Lída Baarová . The film was shot mainly in the Czech Republic from April to June 2015 and celebrated its world premiere in January 2016 in Prague .
At the Bregenz Festival 2018 he staged the world premiere of the opera Das Jagdgewehr by composer Thomas Larcher , making his debut as an opera director.
