Oliver Stokowski

Oliver Stokowski strikes me as an actor's actor. Born in Kassel in 1962, he works across stage, film, and television, and his turn as Prisoner No. 82 Schuette in Das Experiment is the role that defines him for many viewers. Winning the Grimme-Preis in 2014 confirms he is valued for craft rather than celebrity, the kind of performer who disappears into the darker corners of a character instead of selling a persona. I have a soft spot for German screen actors who carry that intense, unshowy gravity, and Stokowski clearly belongs in that lineage. I would happily sit with a single one of his performances and let it work on me.
