About Tilmar Kuhn

Tilmar Kuhn (born March 18, 1970 in East Berlin) is a German actor, dubbing and radio play speaker.

Tilmar Kuhn grew up in Berlin-Weißensee and gained experience on the stage while he was still at school.

He appeared in front of the camera for the first time in 1988 for a DEFA film.

After graduating from high school, he initially studied history and Romance studies for two semesters at the Humboldt University in Berlin. At the same time, he played the role of Idaos in "The Good Time” by Ernst Barlach, directed by Bernd Mottl, for the FU student theater.

In the spring of 1993 he was invited by a high school in St. Petersburg to teach German for three months.

From 1993 to 1996 Tilmar Kuhn studied acting at the KONRAD WOLF film school (now the Film University) in Potsdam Babelsberg.

While still studying, he made his debut at the Hans Otto Theater Potsdam as Shaun Kelly in the play "Secret Friends”.

The final production of his course "Baal", directed by Carmen Maja Antoni, was performed several times at the Berliner Ensemble.

After his studies, he initially received a permanent engagement at the Oldenburg State Theater. There he played in the productions "Titus Anatomy Fall of Rome", "Midsummer Night's Dream", "Medea", "Dangerous Liaisons", "The Learned Women" and "The Servant of Two Masters", among others.

At the same time, he filmed leading and episodic roles for various television series.

From 1998 he worked as a freelance actor. Theater productions took him to Munich, Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig, Stuttgart and Aachen, among others.

He played a wide variety of roles in numerous television series, including boxers, pimps, mountain bikers, nurses, pilots, bankers, police officers, soldiers, criminals and drug junkies.

After a year-long stay abroad in Trieste/Italy in 2003, he made several guest appearances at the Ernst-Deutsch-Theater Hamburg and worked for various independent productions.

A permanent engagement at the Braunschweig State Theater followed from 2008 to 2010. He played, among other things, in the German premiere of "Measuring the World", Bruno Mechelke in "The Rats", Tiger Brown in "The Threepenny Opera" and the title role in "Don Karlos".

Tilmar Kuhn has designed many readings, including the "Notes of a Madman" by Nikolai Gogol, the diary entries by Vaslav Nijinsky, the poems by Georg Trakl and the autobiographical story "Farewell to the Parents" by Peter Weiss.

He also often reads at commemorative events such as at the Sachsenhausen Memorial on the anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp.

In 2011, the short film "The Ice Angler” (directed by Anna Montanyà), in which Tilmar Kuhn played the role of the father, was awarded the "Audience Prize” and the "ZDFneo Prize” as Best Short Film at the Annaberg Buchholz Film Festival.

Since 2011 he has played regularly at the Schlosspark Theater Berlin, among others alongside Dieter Hallervorden and Philipp Sonntag in "Sonny Boys”, as well as alongside Georg Preusse, Martin Seifert and Joachim Bliese in "The Deputy” by Rolf Hochhuth, in the role of Riccardo Fontana.
