Soko Wismar star Udo Kroschwald raises the alarm: Influencer on TV!

In conversation with the MDR "Riverboat", Udo Kroschwald, known from the crime series "SOKO Wismar", spoke out his concerns about the current development in the acting industry. The 69-year-old chief commissioner Jan-Hinrich Reuter, who has been involved in the series since 2004, emphasized that the importance of formal acting training has decreased today. "It used to be important to have a well -founded training. Today it is more like how many followers you have to be committed," he said.

Kroschwald, which was trained at the Leipzig University of Theater, find the changes worrying. "What is called actors today is already fabulous," he noticed, giving applause from the audience. This statement reflects a growing feeling of concern among the established actors that the quality in the industry is at risk. He emphasized that even in the film and television industry, many no longer knew what should be meant by quality.

Influence of influencers on television

This discussion is heated in particular by the influence of influencers in popular TV formats such as the "ZDF dream ship". In the past, influencers such as Riccardo Simonetti, Cathy Hummels and Caro Daur have been involved in the show. Critics point out that this turnaround could lead to a loss of acting substance. Even Florian Silbereisen, who appears as captain Max Parger, has no acting training and is often cited as an example of this point of criticism.

This development also causes excitement among some experienced actors. Sigmar Solbach, known from "Dr. Stefan Frank", also expressed resentment: "Everyone should stay with their strips. Silbereisen is a good entertainer, but not an actor." Solbach's attempt to attribute the discussion to the professionalization of the acting profession raises questions and shows the gap between tradition and modernity in the industry.

The statements of Kroschwald and others aim to raise awareness of the challenges in front of which actors and the entire entertainment industry are standing. With the technological development and the growing popularity of social media, the definition of professions in the creative areas is changed. These topics illustrate the tensions and conflicts between classic traditional values and new media.

also Harald Schmidt, who also participates on the "dream ship", has publicly commented on ongoing discussions. There is no shortage of personal opinions on the challenges in the acting industry, but the question remains how the industry will develop. While influencers get hold of a place in the growing television world through their reach, it remains to be seen whether those responsible find a way behind the scenes to ensure the quality of the offer and to maintain the tradition of the spectacle.
