Thomas Kretschmann

Born: September 8, 1962 in Dessau, German Democratic Republic [now Saxony-Anhalt, Federal Republic of Germany]

[on his title role in Eichmann (2007)] I was born long after the war but I still carry this collective guilt around. It’s not as much fun for a German to play a part like this than it would be for, say, Ralph Fiennes. It’s a very juicy part, but I couldn’t get myself excited to go and play Eichmann. Strangely, I have lots of Jewish friends in LA. My wife is Jewish. They were all excited that I play him, so I wanted to do it for them.
