Oliver Masucci, born 1968, is an award-winning German actor. He grew up in Bonn, where his father - and Italian immigrant - owned and ran several Italian restaurants. Oliver learned cooking at the age of four and regularly turns his hotel rooms into Italian-style kitchens because cooking makes him feel like home when shooting abroad for ten months per year. He has tried to teach his three children how to cook - unsuccessfully so far. He lives in Switzerland and Mallorca. At the age of 12, while still in school, Oliver was cast for theatre plays at Stadttheater Bonn. After leaving high school in 1989 he was accepted into the Berlin University of Arts' acting school. After his studies he quickly turned into a much sought-after actor on all major theatre stages in Germany, Switzerland and Austria (among them: Basel, Berlin, Bochum, Hamburg, München, Salzburger Festspiele, Zürich). Oliver Masucci has performed thousands of times on stage, for more than 20 years, and eventually was appointed ensemble member of the prestigious "Burgtheater" Vienna in 2009. In 2014 he was cast to play Adolf Hitler in the Borat-style adaption of the satirical novel "Look who's back". He has since played in various award-winning German films, among them "Herrliche Zeiten" by Oscar Roehler, "When Hitler stole pink rabbit" by Oscar-winning director Caroline Link and "The Royal Game" by Philipp Stölzl - which will be released for an international audience in 2022. Oliver has been nominated for the German Film Award for four times. He received the award for best actor in a leading role in 2021. He has also received the renowned Bayerischer Filmpreis and the Grimme Award. He portrayed artist Josef Beuys in the Florian Henckel v. Donnersmarck film "Never look away", which was nominated for two Academy Awards in 2019. Later this year he took on the lead role of film director Rainer Werner Fassbinder in the film "Enfant Terrible" by Oskar Roehler, which was chosen for the official selection of the Festival de Cannes in 2020. Internationally, he is best known for the lead role of Ulrich Nielsen in the first German Netflix series "Dark". It became one of the most-viewed series worldwide and was crowned "Greatest Netflix Original Series" by Rotten Tomatoes users in 2020. Further English-speaking international roles include Michael Verhoeven in the Soderbergh series "The Girlfriend Experience" (Season 3), Moses in the Netflix-Series "Tribes of Europa", Captain Alban in "The Swarm" by Game-of-Thrones showrunner Frank Doelger (release scheduled 2022) and Klaus - Jamie Foxx' antagonist - in the upcoming Netflix vampire movie "Day Shift" (2022). This year, Oliver will further be seen as the lead in the Amazon Prime Original Series "German Crime Stories - Bound (Gefesselt)". In "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore", which premiered in London in March 2022, Oliver stars as Anton Vogel, Head of Wizarding World. In early 2022, Roman Polanski cast him as lead actor in his film "The Palace" (2023).
