In THERAPIE (2016, directed by Felix Chârîn), Raacke plays a psychiatrist whose therapeutic methods become increasingly unconventional and threatening as a young female criminal challenges his mental stability. And in the psychodrama MEIN (2009, directed by Detlef Bothe), he took on the role of the groundskeeper – a dark, emotionally charged work about violence and control.
He is best known as Inspector Till Ritter in the Berlin Tatort (1999–2014), works as a screenwriter (including Der kalte Finger, directed by Ralf Huettner, 1996) and appears in long-running series such as Der Bergdoktor.
