Christoph Maria Herbst Discusses New Film and Acting Aspirations

The actor reflects on his role in 'Der Spitzname,' his approach to stunts, and his longing for television projects.

Christoph Maria Herbst performed all his own stunts, including skiing scenes, for his new film 'Der Spitzname,' a comedy set in a mountain hotel in the Austrian Alps.
The actor humorously noted that he also handled all the film's sex scenes himself, though the storyline focuses more on his character's irritating traits.
Herbst described the freedom of portraying a character who behaves in ways he wouldn't in real life, calling the experience liberating.
He revealed his method of unwinding after intense filming days, which includes fresh air and occasionally a glass of red wine.
Despite his success in cinema, Herbst expressed a desire to return to television roles, lamenting perceived industry hesitations about casting him.
