Pierre Kiwitt
ActorPierre Kiwitt is known for his focused, physical acting in cinema and TV productions ranging from arthouse to popular storytelling. One of his most memorable projects is DIE HAUT DER ANDEREN (2018, directed by Thomas Stiller), a psychological drama that deals with dependency, desire, and transgression.

He previously attracted attention with NEBEN DER SPUR (2008, directed by Detlef Bothe), an ensemble road movie drama that intertwines different life paths and reveals their mutability in realistic settings.

In addition, the actor has maintained a steady presence in television formats and series, ranging from detective stories to family and event productions. A recurring theme is his focus on characters with inner conflicts who remain grounded without excessive pathos and have an emotional impact. This profile makes Kiwitt a reliable choice for productions that require psychological accuracy, ensemble work, and a modern, realistic understanding of acting.
