Hans-Jochen Wagner

Actor · Born December 20, 1968 (57) · Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Hans-Jochen Wagner comes from a family of teachers and was born as the middle of three brothers in December 1968 in Tübingen. He grew up in Reutlingen, where his mother worked as an anthroposophical art therapist and he attended the Waldorf school. He initially studied teaching in Tübingen (specializing in mathematics and history) and worked on the side as a technician and assistant director at the Reutlingen theater Die Tonne. He then pursued a degree in cultural education in Hildesheim. From 1994 to 1997, he completed his acting training at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin. Later, he took a film acting course at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg. In 1997, he was engaged at the Burgtheater in Vienna.. Wagner made his camera debut in 1998 in the short film "Zita - Stories about Deadly Sins." In 2002, he appeared as Martin alongside Harald Schrott and Lisa Martinek in the television film "Die Rückkehr" (The Return), directed by Christoph Stark. His first leading film role was in 2003 in the German-Austrian feature film "Sie haben Knut" (They Have Knut). From 2013 to 2021, he played Detective Chief Inspector Hendrik Verhoeven in nine episodes of the ZDF crime series "Kommissarin Heller" alongside Lisa Wagner and Nina Kronjäger. From 2004 onwards, he took on guest roles in several "Tatort" episodes. Since 2017, he has been appearing as Detective Friedemann Berg in the Black Forest "Tatort" of SWR alongside Eva Löbau. __________ This is an excerpt from Wikipedia.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
