Joachim Meyerhoff, 53, bestselling author & actor Perhaps this man was once forgotten for a long time on a rotating carousel accompanied by his daughter. But maybe not. As is the case with people who write mostly autobiographically: everything COULD have happened, but it doesn't HAVE to. The writer Meyerhoff has sold well over 2 million copies, books that are full of the stories of his life, sad, cheerful, and lovely to read. He leads a double existence, because the 53-year-old is almost more successful as an actor. Die ZEIT describes him as someone who works himself to the point of exhaustion, for the Süddeutsche Zeitung Meyerhoff is the most wonderful spirit, the most wonderful bundle of nerves that the theater has to offer. Strangely enough, despite all his revelations and borderline-crossings, he doesn't seem to polarize and a warm shower of awards is constantly falling on him. Everything is fine. Until suddenly it's no longer good. Two years ago Meyerhoff was thrown off course. He also talks about this in the Hörbar Rust on radioeins.
