My Take
Christian Friedel fascinates me because his power lives in restraint. His Rudolf Höss in The Zone of Interest is among the most quietly chilling performances I've seen, conveying horror through ordinary domestic calm rather than melodrama. Combine that with The White Ribbon and Babylon Berlin, plus his work as a pianist and singer, and you have a genuinely versatile artist who came up the patient German-language route before the wider world noticed. I tend to trust actors who don't beg for attention yet command the frame anyway, and Friedel is firmly in that camp for me.
