Actor Marcus Mittermeier Pens First Script for 'München Mord'

The longtime star of the ZDF crime series reveals his creative process and the challenges of writing for television.

Marcus Mittermeier, known for his decade-long role as Kommissar Harald Neuhauser in 'München Mord,' has written his first script for the series' upcoming episode, 'Die indische Methode.'
The actor shared that many of his ideas come during evening jogs, where he records thoughts using a dictation device before refining them the next morning.
Mittermeier described the stark differences between acting and scriptwriting, noting the demanding nature of creating stories from scratch compared to stepping into pre-prepared roles on set.
He expressed deep respect for screenwriters, highlighting the effort required to build narratives and envision every detail, from characters to settings.
The new episode, featuring Mittermeier's script and performance, is set to premiere on ZDF on December 14, 2024.
