To have your very first broadcast appearance arrive straight away with a major role in a Tatort is a truly magnificent thing, and yesterday it came true for Linus Moog. We are delighted to be able to show you the footage now on his showreel — to be seen on all the casting portals and on our homepage.
Press voice - Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger:
An elderly lady, Bibiana Dubinski (Ulrike Krumbiegel), is found dead in her villa. An insulin shock is said to have cost the diabetic woman her life. Detective Ellen Berlinger (Heike Makatsch), however, is not convinced that this was a tragic accident — after all, the dead woman has unusual abrasions on her hands and knees.
When Berlinger learns that the sole heir to Dubinski's great fortune, Charlotte Mühlen (Michaela May), has recently entered into a relationship with the 30-years-younger and already convicted Hannes Petzold (Klaus Steinbacher), the matter seems settled in her mind: Petzold murdered Dubinski in order to get at her fortune through a feigned love for Charlotte Mühlen. A hasty conclusion, as it turns out.
For, as Berlinger and her colleague Martin Rascher (Sebastian Blomberg) only later discover, Petzold has a son from a teenage relationship, Enrico Thiele (Linus Moog), now a teenager himself, who has slipped through the cracks all his life. His father, who lost custody of his son long ago, keeps making him promises that he will finally take proper care of him. But there are the money troubles, and the lover.
The great theme that only develops over the course of the case, and that leads to its resolution, is the father-son relationship between Petzold and Enrico. Through the dialogue, but above all through the unbridled emotions with which the 18-year-old Linus Moog plays his role as Enrico, the despair of a boy who loves his father yet has been disappointed far too often is portrayed convincingly.
Since he has no other people he can trust in his life, he nonetheless risks everything to „help" his father. In doing so he loses sight of all values, all humanity, because he longs for just one person who will truly be there for him. In a tragic way, that is exactly what he gets in the end: his father even tries to convince the police of Enrico's innocence by confessing to his son's deeds himself. He does not get far with it, however.
