Soko star Udo Kroschwald: Influencers are not real actors!

Udo Kroschwald, known from the popular crime series "Soko Wismar", expresses sharp criticism of the current developments in the acting industry. He has been seen as chief crime Jan-Hinrich Reuter since 2004 and has made a name for himself as a trained actor in numerous TV productions such as "crime scene". During a performance in the MDR "Riverboat" he spoke about his concerns how influencers are increasingly present on television and, in his view, undermout the traditional spectacle.

In the talk show, Kroschwald, who enjoyed his acting training at the renowned theater university in Leipzig, expressed his disappointment about the less valued professionalism. "Everyone can do that," he emphasized. "What is called actors today is fabulous." With his comment he came across the audience. Kroschwald found that nowadays the number of followers in social networks is often more important for a role than talented, classic acting.

Influence of influencers on the industry

Kroschwald's criticism not only focuses on the increasing number of influencers on television, but also raises questions about the quality of performances. His statements reveal a growing discomfort in the industry. Celebrities such as Riccardo Simonetti, Cathy Hummels and Caro Daur have already worked on the "ZDF dream ship", which is considered alarming for many experts in the acting scene. In his view, crosch forest is not alone. "Dr. Stefan Frank" actor Sigmar Solbach also critically commented and emphasized that everyone should stay in their profession. Silbereisen, the captain Max Parger, is a talented entertainer, but not a trained actor, says Solbach.

This discussion is by no means new, since Harald Schmidt, who can also be seen regularly on the “dream ship”, also looks at the criticism of the influencers with skepticism. Kroschwald and his colleagues seem concerned that the boundaries between professional acting and entertainment are increasingly blurring. "Even in the industry, you no longer know what quality is," adds Kroschwald to strengthen his argument.

While the debate about the role of influencers loses driving in acting, the public increasingly takes notice of these developments. Kroschwald's statements reflect a greater concern within the industry about the influence of social media and the change in the values on television. For many, the concern that the art of acting loses importance is an alarming reality.
