Jürgen Prochnow
Highest Rated: 98% Das Boot (1981)
Lowest Rated: 3% House of the Dead (2003)
Birthday: Jun 10, 1941
Birthplace: Berlin, Germany
The ruggedly handsome, severe-looking German-born actor Jurgen Prochnow first achieved notice in his homeland for his work in "Die Verrohung des Franz Blum/The Brutalization of Franz Blum" (1974) and in "The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum" (1975), co-directed by Volker Schlondorff and Margarethe Von Trotta. But it was as the captain of the ill-fated submarine in Wolfgang Petersen's gripping WWII drama "Das Boot" (1981) that his career really took flight, earning him international recognition. Since his US film debut in "Comeback" (1982), Prochnow has tackled a steady diet of supporting characters, often humorless men of German extraction such as his sinister Captain Stolz in "A Dry White Season (1989) and the brutal Nazi interrogator in Anthony Minghella's Oscar-winning "The English Patient" (1996).
