As an actor, he also appeared on television, a. a. in supporting roles in Shakespeare productions for the broadcaster Free Berlin ( Much Ado About Nothing , 1957/58; Was ihr wollt , 1957/58). In 1967 he took part in The Reichstag Fire Trial and in Two Under Millions . In addition, he acted as a press spokesman in the Umschau .
