== Biography ==
Mišel Matičević is a graduate of the Konrad Wolf Academy of Film and Television in Potsdam. Immediately upon concluding his studies he gained his first experiences in the theater at the Berliner Ensemble as well as the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. At the same time, he was cast in his first large film and television productions. Very early on, his extraordinarily powerful and sensitive performances attracted the interest of directors such as Dominik Graf, Rainer Kaufman und Stephan Wagner with whom he has continued an ongoing collaboration.
Since the beginning of his career, the actor has captivated audiences and the press with his distinctive physical presence and acting versatility. Leading roles in films such as ‘Blackout’, ‘Das Gelübde’ (The Vow), ‘Die Brücke am Ibar’ (The Bridge on the Ibar), ‘Hotte im Paradies’ (Hotte in Paradise), ‘Im Angesicht des Verbrechens’ (In Face of the Crime), ‘Im Schatten’ (In the Shadows), ‘Lost Killers’, ‘Todesautomatik’ (The Automatic Death), and ‘Und Morgen leben wir wieder’ (And Tomorrow We Live Again), ‘testify to the exceptional acting talent for which he has garnered many awards, including the Adolf Grimme Prize and the German Television Prize. He caught the attention of an international audience in the role of ‘Arpad Zzel’ in Ridley Scott’s Emmy nominated series ‘The Company’.
Mišel Matičević intense and corporeal interpretations of the most contradictory emotions are remarkable studies of human character. They testify to a unique, highly developed corporeality in his acting with which the actor convincingly brings his characters to life. In so doing, he always maintains an intuitive feeling for the essence of his roles. In particular, his sensitive and masculine performing, moving wholly and almost transparently between the positive and the negative of human behavior, define the special talent of the actor. Hence, to this day, he continues to seek collaboration with directors who transcend conventional boundaries and thus leave a mark on the film and television of today.

OccupationActor

Mišel Matičević (German: [miˈʃɛl maˈtiːtʃɛvɪtʃ], Croatian: [miʃêl matǐːtʃevitɕ]; born 22 April 1970) is a German film, television, and theater actor of Croatian descent.

Early life and education

Matičević was born in West Berlin to Croatian parents who were guest workers in West Germany. Following his parents' divorce, he lived with his mother in Berlin-Spandau. He was initially a trouble maker in childhood and would get in fistfights at school. He refused to join the school's theater group, feeling it was only for kids who were trying to "suck up" to the teachers. However, Matičević saw the 1983 film Danton with Gérard Depardieu and was inspired by Depardieu's performance to become an actor.

He studied acting from 1994 until 1998 at the Konrad Wolf Film University of Babelsberg in Potsdam. While there, he performed with the Berliner Ensemble at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin and the Kleist Theater in Frankfurt Oder.

Career

Since 1996, Matičević has acted in several crime series and films for German television and cinema. He was awarded the Best Actor Award at the 2000 Thessaloniki International Film Festival for his performance in Lost Killers (1999). In 2007, he played the role of the German poet and novelist Clemens Brentano in the film Das Gelübde, which depicts Brentano's encounter with the stigmatised nun Anne Catherine Emmerich.

Matičević's first international role was in the TNT miniseries The Company in 2006, a show about the CIA in which he played a fictional Hungarian poet called Arpad Zelk, a leader of the Hungarian uprising in 1956.

Personal life

Since 2014, Matičević has been an ambassador for Deutschlandstiftung Integration (Germany Integration Foundation), which promotes and celebrates ethnic diversity in Germany, to support the children of guest workers. He has said: "Guest worker children have always existed and will always exist. I deliberately don't say migrants, but guest worker children, because I am also a guest worker child and have learned so much. I just do not like the term migrant. And I'm glad to be able to pass on some of my knowledge and experience."
