Pierre Kiwitt

Actor
Pierre 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. Kiwitt complements the ensemble with his precise presence and sharpens the tension between the characters. 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. Both works demonstrate Kiwitt's strength for understated, credible acting that develops characters through glances and nuances. He also appeared in the Netflix remake of “Das Boot.” 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.
