A shady father figure like Nathan Hopkins in Real Buddy doubtlessly demands for a character actor like Dietrich Hollinderbäumer whose widespread repertoire includes numerous Shakespearean roles of classic stage and cinema history. Since he has been trained by legendary directors like Ingmar Bergmann and Stig Torslow at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm Hollinderbäumer played leading and supporting roles in dozens of international films and plays. Recently he has been in Oliver Hirschbiegel’s Oscar-nominated NS-epic Downfall.
