Giovanni Arvaneh

Giovanni Arvaneh moves me because he refused a single box. Born in Munich in 1964 to an Iranian father and an Italian mother, he spent parts of his childhood in Italy and Istanbul, trained at the Neue Münchner Schauspielschule, and became known for playing a Turkish character in the soap opera Marienhof from 1995 to 2010. After starring in Zenne Dancer he learned Turkish and worked in Turkish television, and he later trained as a psychotherapist. People who move between countries, languages and crafts tend to carry both a faint rootlessness and an enviable freedom to go anywhere, and he once described himself as an observer rather than a member of any nation. He died in May 2025 at 61, and I rather admire the nerve of the life he made.
