In 2015 Patrick Abozen, after an initial assignment two years earlier, finally took over the role of Tobias Reisser, the new assistant to the Cologne crime scene inspectors Max Ballauf ( Klaus J. Behrendt ) and Freddy Schenk ( Dietmar Bär ), as the successor to assistant Franziska ( Tessa Mittelstaedt ). Abozen's characterization of the role: “[...] Tobias Reisser is a highly sensitive character, almost mysterious for the others. His great emotionality and extreme empathy help him to see the cases from a different perspective. However, he still has to fight for his place in the team. ”After 10 episodes of the crime scene, Abozen left the cast team in 2017 for dramaturgical reasons.
