Lutz Moik

Actor

Lutz Moik, born on November 10, 1930, in Berlin and died on July 4, 2002, was a German actor and voice actor. He had his breakthrough in 1950 in the DEFA fairy tale film adaptation DAS KALTE HERZ (1950, directed by Paul Verhoeven), in which he played the leading role of the poor charcoal burner Peter Munk. This fairy tale film was the first color film of the post-war period in the GDR and is one of the DEFA classics in which Moik became a favorite with audiences. He later appeared in several popular television series. From 1992 to 1994, he played the role of Richard Graf in the daily soap opera Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten (Good Times, Bad Times). He also appeared as Inspector Bergmann in several episodes of Tatort between 1981 and 1983. His work also extended to theater engagements in numerous German cities and in Switzerland. He also lent his voice to Mozart as a dubbing artist—for example, for the US actor John Saxon. Lutz Moik is remembered as a young acting star of DEFA who made his mark on the silver screen in a groundbreaking fairy tale film and later developed a diverse profile on German television and in the theater.
