Narcissus Sokatscheff
Narcissus Raymond Sokatscheff , also Narcissus Sokatscheff and Narciss Sokatscheff (born May 13, 1927 in Varna ) is an actor of Bulgarian origin in Germany .
Life
Sokatscheff took acting lessons from Hermine Körner and then began his theater career in Neuss . In 1949 he moved to the “New Theater” in Düsseldorf and in 1955 to the “ Theater im Zimmer ” in Hamburg . There Sokatscheff played supporting roles in contemporary pieces like Come again, little Sheba! from 1953 (Original title: Come Back, Little Sheba! ) by William Inge . In the 1960s he moved to Berlin , where he appeared at the Berliner Kammerspiele , among others .
Parallel to his theater work, Sokatscheff began to take on film roles in 1960. At first, Will Tremper was the one who signed him . In his screen debut, the east-west drama Flucht nach Berlin , Tremper gave him the lead role. In it Sokatscheff embodied the Saxony-Anhalt farmer "Hermann Güden", who wants to evade the forced collectivization of agriculture and, after his wife and both children have safely arrived in West Berlin , to escape to the West with the help of a Swiss fashion journalist and her sports car tries. In 1963 he played again in two Tremper films ( The Endless Night and Delay in Marienborn ).
Sokatscheff's role offers for movies decreased after his escape to Berlin and from the mid-1960s TV appearances gained in importance. From the optical appearance, her southern direction, one occupied Sokatscheff here as foreign diplomats or as an officer , but also as a villain such as a "knife-Joe" in the hangman of London (1963).
