Even after decades in the show business, actor Rolf Becker can't say whether he prefers acting or making films. A decision is hardly possible, said Becker, who celebrates his 90th birthday on March 31.
"There are things that can be performed ten times better in film and television because a camera can capture differentiation." On stage, on the other hand, you get a direct response from the audience. "I love this direct contact, this spontaneity, the unexpected. But I'm also happy about what I can convey when a camera is there."
Becker has appeared in dozens of film and theater productions. As a series actor, he is best known as "Otto Stein" in the long-running TV series "In aller Freundschaft". He still occasionally appears in the doctor series to this day.
Becker was born in Leipzig in 1935. He is the father of Ben (60) and Meret Becker (56), who have also made a career as actors.
