Life
Sky du Mont comes from the DuMont publishing family . The family fled the Nazi regime to South America in the 1930s / 1940s . Du Mont, who owes the nickname "Sky" to his brother, who could not pronounce "Cay" (for Cayetano), was born in 1947 as the son of the German August Neven du Mont and the British Chiquita Neven du Mont (1921-2018) in Argentina born. In 1952 the family moved with him back to Europe. He spent his school days in London and graduated from high school in Switzerland.
After attending an acting school in Munich, he took on his first roles in theater and television in 1971.

The collaboration with director Michael Herbig gave du Mont the opportunity for a much commented role and image change. The taz wrote: “As a slimy beau, Sky du Mont socialized German TV generations. In Hollywood he was most recently able to arm himself up to Nicole Kidman under the direction of Stanley Kubrick. Now he is caricaturing his Playboy image in the successful Der Schuh des Manitu . ”In 2001 he was awarded the Bambi and the German Comedy Prize for his role in the comedy Der Schuh des Manitu . For his participation in Herbig's comedy (T) Raumschiff Surprise - Period 1 , he again received a Bambi and a German Comedy Award in 2004.
