During his school years he was enthusiastic about artistry and gymnastics. His athletic skills helped him land a role in the musical "Can Can" in 1978, which also sparked his interest in acting. After finishing school, Heino Ferch devoted himself to his acting training at the Salzburg Mozarteum. In addition to the classical acting courses, he was also trained here in singing, ballet and tap dancing. He completed his training in 1987 and was immediately hired by the Freie Volksbühne Berlin, whose ensemble he was a member of until 1990. Also in 1987 he had his first screen role in the cinema production "Schloss Königswald".

After his time at the Freie Volksbühne, Ferch went to the Berlin Schillertheater in 1990, where he remained loyal until 1994. During this time he had several guest appearances at the Scala in Milan, at the Salzburg Festival and at the Burgtheater in Vienna. He quickly attracted attention both through his performance in the theater and in film. He received particular praise for his portrayal of Obersturmbandführer Raufeisen in "Unhold" (1996) and for his portrayal of Gestapo leader Klaus Barbie in "Lucie Aubrac" (1996). His role as Roman Cycowski in the hit production "Comedian Harmonists" helped him achieve widespread popularity in 1997. Heino Ferch became one of the most sought-after German actors and several successful productions followed, both for cinema and television.

His most successful TV production to date was "The Miracle of Lengede" in 2003, which was awarded a "Bambi" as "TV Event of the Year". Ferch left a lasting impression as Albert Speer in "Downfall," in which he played Lara alongside Bruno Ganz and Alexandra Maria. "Ghetto," another Third Reich drama, was released in German cinemas in 2006. However, the production did not achieve the desired success and also failed to convince the critics. Ferch was in a relationship with the actress Susanne von Borsody for several years. He has been married to the rider Marie-Jeanette Steinle since August 2005.
