The blue cap

Most people know him as Crime Scene Inspector Peter Brockmöller alongside Manfred Krug: Charles Brauer. John Grisham fans are familiar with his unmistakable voice from the audio books he has read as a regular narrator for many years. Theatre audiences have seen him in countless roles given over the course of his stage career. But the fact that Charles Brauer has experienced more than three quarters of a century of German acting history and has worked with almost all the greats of his profession is probably something that few people are aware of to this extent.In his "Stories from my Life", the actor, who has lived in Switzerland for almost 40 years, tells of his childhood in bombed-out Berlin, how he was discovered by chance for film as an eleven-year-old, of his beginnings on stage and in front of the camera, his acting training and the many stations of his eventful life.Warm-hearted, pointed, personal and authentic - unmistakably Charles Brauer.
