Actors - Axel Milberg understands people's love of crime films
Actor Axel Milberg (67) has played the cantankerous Kiel investigator Klaus Borowski for 20 years. And even after two decades, he can well understand the fascination for the Sunday thriller from the north, as he told the German Press Agency in Hamburg. In Borowski's "Tatort", the attempt is always tangible to not weld together prefabricated parts and deliver them, but to look for the hidden in society.
In his opinion, the "Tatort" also has an important role to play in view of current events: "Isn't the whole world once again clearly divided into perpetrators and victims? There is nothing in between. The criminal, the violation of the law and the conditions for this are addressed in the crime films," says Milberg. "Society is agitated, inflamed, it is fuming, it has become aggressive. We know that civilization is a thin blanket and that democracy is always under threat. We are in contrast with crime: Within us and around us, we feel this arduous struggle between what we call the good and the bad."
In the role of Borowski, he has a special task. "The TV investigator promises to help us, to sort, to organize, to punish. Through him, we learn to understand. I always tried to speak to the suspects in a friendly way, which some people could misunderstand. It shouldn't be too inquisitorial to tempt the suspect to reveal things that he actually wants to keep to himself."
