Hans-Jürgen Alf

„Ich bin ein Berliner", says actor Hans-Jürgen Alf, not without pride. He still loves the city he was born in in 1959 - old West Berlin.
As a child and teenager he loved Kurfürstendamm and often went to the large and stylish cinemas. The Berlin boy back then lied about his real age and dressed up as an adult with high heels, so he could also see thrillers and western films.
After his acting-degree he was engaged by professional state theaters straight away.
He played in Bert Brecht´s "Dreigroschenoper" - "The Threepennyopera", 
directed by Klaus-Maria Brandauer at Admiralspalast. Later he startet for tv productions, and he also gave a debut for the big screen: in "Lieber Thomas" - „Dear Thomas" (2021), directed by Andreas Kleinert.
On his search for new acting-techniques he met Susan Batson in an intensive acting-workshop, which led to an invitation to New York to study in her studio. Over the years, he regularly worked there.
When asked, what in his life should have been different, Alf replies with a smile on his lips and a quote from Brecht:"Life could be different, but it works as well this way."
